Maintaining the Mobile Computer

For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when using the mobile computer:
• Do not scratch the screen of the mobile computer. When working with the mobile computer, 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 mobile computer screen.
Symbol recommends using a screen protector, p/n KT-67525-01.
• The mobile computer is not water and dust resistant. Do not expose it to rain or moisture for an extended period of time. In
general, treat the mobile computer as a pocket calculator or other small electronic instrument.
• The touch-sensitive screen of the mobile computer is glass. Do not to drop the mobile computer or subject it to strong impact.
• Protect the mobile computer 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 mobile computer in any location that is dusty, damp, or wet.
• Use a soft lens cloth to clean the mobile computer. If the surface of the mobile computer screen becomes soiled, clean it
with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
• Periodically replace the rechargeable battery to ensure maximum battery life and product performance. Battery life depends
on individual usage patterns.
• The MC50 battery requires periodic calibration to maintain an accurate calibration of the battery's gas gauge. To calibrate
the battery, deplete the battery completely from a full charge condition. Symbol recommends performing this once a week.
