Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Maintenance

The Cordless Scanning System provides reliable and efficient operation with a
minimum of care. Although specific maintenance is not required, the following
periodic checks ensure dependable operation:
Cleaning the Scan Window of the Cordless Scanner
Scanning performance may degrade if the Cordless Scanner's scan window
is not clean. If the window is visibly dirty, or if the scanner isn't scanning well,
clean the scan window with a soft cloth or facial tissue dampened with water
(or a mild detergent– water solution). If a detergent solution is used, rinse with
a clean tissue dampened with water only.
The Cordless Scanner and Base housings may also be cleaned the same way.
Inspecting Cords and Connectors
Inspect the Cordless Base's interface cable and connector for wear or other
signs of damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with
operation. Contact your Welch Allyn distributor for information about cable
replacement. Cable replacement instructions on page 8–2.
Examining the Cordless Scanner and Cordless Base Housings
Routinely examine the Cordless Scanner and Cordless Base housings for
signs of damage. A damaged housing may cause the internal components to
move and may result in a malfunctioning unit.
Care and Handling of the Battery Pack
Proper handling of the batteries while recharging extends the useful life of the
batteries. New battery packs are shipped uncharged. In order to break in the
new battery, we suggest that you fully charge and discharge the packs
approximately two to four times so they can reach their full rated capacity.
If the battery pack is left plugged in for extended periods of time (for instance,
several weeks) the contacts between the prongs may become dirty, causing
charging problems. Clean the prongs with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol
to remove any accumulation of dirt.
Do not submerge the Cordless Scanner or the Cordless Base in
water. Their housings are not water–tight.
Do not use abrasive wipers or tissues on the scan window: abrasive
wipers may scratch the window.
Never use solvents (alcohol or acetone) on the housings or the window:
solvents may damage the finish or the window.
Do not open the Cordless Scanner or the Cordless Base. There are no
serviceable parts inside.
