Maintenance
Your device 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 Device
Reading performance may degrade if the scanner's window is not clean. If the window is visibly dirty, or if the scanner isn't
operating well, clean the window with a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent- water solution).
If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean lens tissue dampened with water only.
The scanner and base's housing may also be cleaned the same way.
Inspecting Cords and Connectors
Inspect the interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector
may interfere with scanner operation. Contact your distributor for information about cable replacement. Cable replacement
instructions are on
Replacing Cables
The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with an 10-pin modular connector. When properly seated, the connec-
tor is held in the scanner's handle by a flexible retention tab. The interface cable is designed to be field replaceable.
• Order replacement cables from Honeywell or from an authorized distributor.
• When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the original interface cable.
Replacing an Interface Cable
1. Turn the power to the host system OFF.
2. Disconnect the scanner's cable from the terminal or computer.
3. Locate the small hole on the bottom of the scanner. This is the cable release.
4. Straighten one end of a paper clip.
5. Insert the end of the paper clip into the small hole and press in. This depresses the
retention tab, releasing the connector. Pull the connector out while maintaining pressure
on the paper clip, then remove the paper clip.
6. Replace with the new cable.
Insert the connector into the opening and press firmly. The connector is keyed to go in
only one way, and will click into place.

Do not submerge the scanner in water. The scanner's
housing is not watertight.
Do not use abrasive wipes or tissues on the scanner's
window – abrasive wipes may scratch the window. Never
use solvents (e.g., alcohol or acetone) on the housing or
window – solvents may damage the finish or the window.
