CHAPTER 7 MAINTENANCE AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
Introduction
This chapter includes instructions on cleaning and storing the WT6000, battery maintenance and provides
troubleshooting solutions for potential problems during WT6000 operations.
MaintainingtheWT6000
For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when using the WT6000:
•
Protect the WT6000 from temperature extremes.
•
Do not store or use the WT6000 in any location that is extremely dusty, damp, or wet.
•
Use a soft lens cloth to clean the scan exit window of the WT6000. If the surface of the WT6000 screen
becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution. Do not use
bleach,or ammonia or hydrogen peroxide products.
•
Take care not to scratch the screen of the WT6000.
•
The display of the WT6000 contains glass. Take care not to drop the WT6000 or subject it to strong impact.
Battery Safety Guidelines
•
The area in which the WT6000 units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials or
chemicals. Particular care should be taken where the device is charged in a non-commercial environment.
•
Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers. If you have any questions about the compatibility of a
battery or a charger, contact Zebra Support. See Service Information on page xiv for contact information.
•
Do not crush, puncture, or place a high degree of pressure on the battery.
•
Follow battery usage, storage, and charging guidelines.
•
Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.
•
To charge the mobile device battery, the battery and charger temperatures must be between +32°F and
+104°F (0°C and +40°C)
Page 17
7 - 2WT6000 User Guide
•
Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture, or shred.
•
Severe impact from dropping any battery-operated device on a hard surface could cause the battery to
overheat.
•
Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic or conductive objects to contact the battery terminals.
•
Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water
or other liquids, or expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard.
•
Do not leave or store the equipment in or near areas that might get very hot, such as in a parked vehicle or
near a radiator or other heat source. Do not place battery into a microwave oven or dryer.
•
Battery usage by children should be supervised.
•
Please follow local regulations to promptly dispose of used re-chargeable batteries.
•
Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
•
Seek medical advice immediately if a battery has been swallowed.
•
In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has
been made, wash the affected area with large amounts of water and seek medical advice.
•
If you suspect damage to your equipment or battery, call Customer Support to arrange for inspection. See
Service Information on page xiv for contact information.
Long TermStorage
When storing the WT6000 for a long period of time, it is recommended to remove the battery. When returning the
WT6000 to everyday operation, install a fully charged battery.
Cleaning Instructions
CAUTION
WARNING
Approved Cleanser Active Ingredients
100% of the active ingredients in any cleaner must consist of one or some combination of the following: isopropyl
alcohol, bleach/sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide or mild dish soap.
Always wear eye protection.
Read warning label on compressed air and alcohol product before using.
If you have to use any other solution for medical reasons please contact Zebra for more information.
!
Avoid exposing this product to contact with hot oil or other flammable liquids. If such exposure
occurs, unplug the device and clean the product immediately in accordance with these guidelines.
Harmful Ingredients
The following chemicals are known to damage the plastics on the device and should not come in contact with the
device: ammonia solutions, compounds of amines or ammonia; acetone; ketones; ethers; aromatic and chlorinated
Page 18
Maintenance and Troubleshooting7 - 3
hydrocarbons; acqueous or alcoholic alkaline solutions; ethanolamine; toluene; trichloroethylene; benzene;
carbolic acid,and TB-lysoform, bleach products and hydrogen peroxide.
Cleaning Instructions
Do not apply liquid directly to the device. Dampen a soft cloth or use pre-moistened wipes. Do not wrap the device
in the cloth or wipe, but gently wipe the unit. Be careful not to let liquid pool around the display window or other
places. Allow the unit to air dry before use.
Special Cleaning Notes
Many vinyl gloves contain phthalate additives, which are often not recommended for medical use and are known to
be harmful to the housing of the device. The device should not be handled while wearing vinyl gloves containing
phthalates, or before hands are washed to remove contaminant residue after gloves are removed. If products
containing any of the harmful ingredients listed above are used prior to handling the device, such as hand sanitizer
that contain ethanolamine, hands must be completely dry before handling the device to prevent damage to the
plastics.
Cleaning Materials Required
•
Alcohol wipes
•
Lenstissue
•
Cottontippedapplicators
•
Isopropylalcohol
•
Can of compressed air with a tube.
Cleaning Frequency
The cleaning frequency is up to the customer’s discretion due to the varied environments in which the WT6000
units are used. They may be cleaned as frequently as required. However when used in dirty environments it may
be advisable to periodically clean the scanner exit window to ensure optimum scanning performance.
Cleaning the WT6000
Housing
Using the alcohol wipes, wipe the housing.
Display
The display can be wiped down with the alcohol wipes, but care should be taken not to allow any pooling of liquid
around the edges of the display. Immediately dried the display with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to prevent streaking.
Power Connector
1.Remove the battery from WT6000.
2.Dip the cotton portion of the cotton tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol.
3.Rub the cotton portion of the cotton tipped applicator back-and-forth across the connector inside the handle of
the WT6000. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connector.
Page 19
7 - 4WT6000 User Guide
4.Repeat at least three times.
5.Use the cotton tipped applicator dipped in alcohol to remove any grease and dirt near the connector area.
6.Use a dry cotton tipped applicator and repeat steps 3 through 5.
7.Spray compressed air on the connector area by pointing the tube/nozzle about ½ inch away from the surface.
CAUTION
8.Inspect the area for any grease or dirt, repeat if required.
Do not point nozzle at yourself and others, ensure the nozzle or tube is away from your face.
Cleaning Cradle Connectors
Use this procedure to clean the connectors on a cradle:
1.Remove power from the cradle.
2.Dip the cotton portion of the cotton tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol.
3.Rub the cotton portion of the cotton tipped applicator along the pins of the connector. Slowly move the
applicator back-and-forth from one side of the connector to the other. Do not let any cotton residue on the
connector.
6.Ensure that there is no lint left by the cotton tipped applicator, remove lint if found.
Do not point nozzle at yourself and others, ensure the nozzle or tube is pointed away from your face.
7.If grease and other dirt can be found on other areas of the cradle, use lint free cloth and alcohol to remove.
8.Allow at least 10 to 30 minutes (depending on ambient temperature and humidity) for the alcohol to air dry
before applying power to cradle.
If the temperature is low and humidity is high, longer drying time is required. Warm temperature and dry
humidity requires less drying time.
