Introduction

This chapter includes instructions on cleaning and storing the mobile computer, and provides troubleshooting
solutions for potential problems during mobile computer operation.

Maintaining the MC50

For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when using the mobile computer:
•
Take care not to 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. Motorola
recommends the use of a screen protector, part number 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 you would a pocket calculator or other small
electronic instrument.
•
The touch-sensitive screen of the mobile computer contains glass. Take care 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 main battery to ensure maximum battery life and product performance. The life
expectancy of the battery is dependant upon individual usage pattern(s).
•
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. Motorola
recommends performing this once a week.
