Scanning

buttons to activate the scan beam.

Code 39) is also displayed.

Maintenance and General Care
Observe the following general tips when using your CSM 150:
Do not scratch the scanning window.
Your CSM 150 is not waterproof. Do not expose to rain or moisture.
Do not drop your CSM 150 or subject it to strong impact. Do not carry
your CSM 150 in your back pocket: if you sit on it, the scanning window
may break.
Protect your CSM 150 from temperature extremes. Do not leave your
CSM 150 on the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep it away from
heaters and other heat sources.
Do not store or use your CSM 150 in any location that is extremely dusty,
damp or wet.
If the surface of the CSM 150 scanning window becomes soiled, clean it
with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
