Introduction
This chapter includes instructions on cleaning and storing the MC18, battery maintenance and provides
troubleshooting solutions for potential problems during MC18 operating.
Maintaining the MC18
For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when using the MC18:
• Protect the MC18 from temperature extremes.
• Do not store or use the MC18 in any location that is extremely dusty, damp, or wet.
• Use a soft lens cloth to clean the scan exit window of the MC18. If the surface of the MC18 screen
becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution. Do not use
bleach or ammonia.
• Take care not to scratch the screen of the MC18.
• The display of the MC18 contains glass. Take care not to drop the MC18 or subject it to strong impact.
Battery Safety Guidelines
• The area in which the MC18 units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials or
chemicals. Particular care should be taken where the device is charged in a non-commercial
environment.
• Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers. If you have any questions about the compatibility of a
battery or a charger, contact Symbol Technologies Global Customer Support. See Service Information on
page xiv for contact information.
• Do not crush, puncture, or place a high degree of pressure on the battery.
• Follow battery usage, storage, and charging guidelines found in the MC18 Quick Reference Guide.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.
