Maintenance

The IT3800/3900 provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care. Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks ensure dependable scanner operation:

Cleaning the Scanner’s Window

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 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’s housing may also be cleaned the same way.

!Caution:

Do not submerge the scanner in water. The scanner’s housing is not water-tight.

Do not use abrasive wipers or tissues on the scanner’s window - abrasive wipers may scratch the window.

Never use solvents (alcohol or acetone) on the housing or window - solvents may damage the finish or the window.

Inspecting Cords and Connectors

Inspect the scanner’s 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 Hand Held Products distributor for information about cable replacement. Cable replacement instructions are on page 14-2.
