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.
  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 the liquid directly to the device. Be careful not to let liquid pool around the scanner window, trigger, cable connector, or any other area on the device.
  3. Clean the trigger area by carefully wiping the surface to prevent the label from lifting from the device.
  4. Do not spray water or other cleaning liquids directly into the exit window.
  5. Wipe the scanner exit window with 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. To clean the device 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 device's connector at least thrice, leaving no cotton residue.
    3. Use the cotton-tipped applicator dipped in alcohol to remove grease and dirt near the connector area.
    4. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connectors.
