Maintenance and Troubleshooting
This chapter explains recommended maintenance for your Cordless System and
troubleshooting procedures.

Maintenance

The Cordless System provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care.
Although specific maintenance is not required, these periodic checks ensure dependable
operation.

Cleaning the Scan Window of the Scanner

Scanning performance may degrade if the 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 scanner and base housings may also be cleaned the same way.

Inspecting Cords and Connectors

Inspect the 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
Intermec sales representative for information about cable replacement.

Examining the Scanner and Base Housings

Routinely examine the scanner and 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. 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.
