Cleaning the Device

Routinely cleaning the exit window is required. A dirty window may affect scanning accuracy. Do not allow any abrasive material to touch the window.
To clean the device:
  1. Dampen a soft cloth with one of the approved cleaning agents listed above or use pre-moistened wipes.
  2. Gently wipe all surfaces, including the front, back, sides, top and bottom. Never apply liquid directly to the scanner. Be careful not to let liquid pool around the scanner window, trigger, cable connector or any other area on the device.
  3. Be sure to clean the trigger area by wiping the surface with careful attention to avoid lifting the label from the device.
  4. Do not spray water or other cleaning liquids directly into the exit window.
  5. Wipe the scanner exit window with a lens tissue or other material suitable for cleaning optical material such as eyeglasses.
  6. Immediately dry the scanner window after cleaning with a soft non-abrasive cloth to prevent streaking.
  7. Allow the unit to air dry before use.
  8. Scanner connectors:
    1. Dip the cotton portion of a cotton-tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol.
    2. Rub the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator back-and-forth across the connector on the Zebra scanner at least 3 times. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connector.
    3. Use the cotton-tipped applicator dipped in alcohol to remove any grease and dirt near the connector area.
Use a dry cotton tipped applicator and rub the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator back-and-forth across the connectors at least three times. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connectors.
