Maintaining the MC40

For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when using the MC40:
• Do not scratch the screen of the MC40. When working with the MC40, use only a finger. Never use an actual pen
or pencil or other sharp object on the surface of the MC40 screen.
• The touch-sensitive screen of the MC40 is glass. Do not to drop the MC40 or subject it to strong impact.
• Protect the MC40 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 MC40 in any location that is dusty, damp, or wet.
• Use a soft lens cloth to clean the MC40. If the surface of the MC40 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.
