Introduction

This chapter includes instructions on cleaning and storing the terminal, and provides
troubleshooting solutions for potential problems during terminal operating.

Maintaining the Terminal

For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when using the terminal:
• Take care not to scratch the screen of the terminal. When working with the terminal,
use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a touch-
sensitive screen. Never use an actual pen or pencil or other sharp object on the
surface of the terminal screen.
• Although the terminal is water and dust resistant, do not expose it to rain or
moisture for an extended period of time. In general, treat the terminal as you would
a pocket calculator or other small electronic instrument.
• The touch-sensitive screen of the terminal contains glass. Take care not to drop the
terminal or subject it to strong impact.
• Protect the terminal from temperature extremes. Do not leave it on the dashboard
of a car on a hot day, and keep it away from heat sources.
• Do not store or use the terminal in any location that is extremely dusty, damp or
wet.
• Use a soft lens cloth to clean the terminal. If the surface of the terminal screen
becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning
solution.
