Cleaning electrical contact surfaces
Regular cleaning of electrical contacts is needed to guarantee a correct
recharging of the battery. Both scanner and cradle contacts should be cleaned.
In case spills, smudges or debris accumulate on the cradle and/or the scanner,
proper operation could be affected and a periodical cleaning is recommended
as follows.
Avoid the use of brushes or any other hard tool to remove grime from electrical
c
ontacts, since these may damage or scratch the contact's plating.
Scanner Contacts
• Use a soft dry cloth to clean the contact area and the plastic surface
around the contacts.
• Be sure to remove dust, dirt and any cloth res
idue.
• If the level of grime is significant, it is suggested the use of a soft white or
pink pencil eras
er to gently rub the contacts. Motion can be along both the
green and yellow directions.
• Be sure to remove the rubber residuals by gently blowing them off with
clean compressed air.
CAUTION
Be careful when using compressed air: protect yourself with goggles and
point the nozzle far from eyes and not too close to the scanner surface.
Read previously the warning label on the spray can.
Cradle Contacts
• Use a soft dry cloth to clean the contact area and the plastic surface
around the contacts.
• Particular attention must be paid to
remove dust, dirt and any cloth resi-
due. Do not allow this material t
o fall again onto the contacts.
• It is suggested the use of a soft white or pink pencil eraser to gently rub
th
e contacts. Cradle contacts should be cleaned with a motion along the
yellow direction.
