• Once the NRUs are loaded into the offload ports, follow the NuScribe manual directions for
either offload or commissioning . See NuScribe manual page 63.
• The charger and offload ports should be monitored for a buildup of dirt and debris in the
bottom of the cups. Too much dirt or debris may keep the NRU from turning on or uploading
properly due to the debris obstructing proper seating.
o Remove power from the case
o Use compressed air, preferably with a line dryer, to blow out the cups.
o No CRC or other aerosol cleaning sprays should be used to clean the cups. A dry soft
brush can be used to loosen debris in the cup prior to blowing it out with compressed
air.
