Note: The Code Reader 1.1 was designed for use in a light industrial or office setting. Ex- posing the Reader to harsh temperatures or environments may cause the Code Reader to malfunction. Maintenance The Code Reader 1.1 device operates efficiently and reliably and needs only a minimum of maintenance to operate. A few tips are given below for maintenance suggestions. Cleaning the Code Reader’s Window The Code Reader’s window should be clean to allow the best performance of the device. The window is the clear plastic piece inside the head of the Reader. Do not touch the win- dow. Your Code Reader uses CMOS technology that is much like a digital camera. A dirty window may stop the Code Reader from reading codes. If the window becomes dirty, clean it with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or a facial tissue that has been moistened with water. A mild detergent may be used to clean the window, but the window should be wiped with a water moistened cloth or tissue after using the detergent. The Code Reader’s housing may be cleaned in the same way.

Troubleshooting Your Code Reader will perform a self-test every time it is powered up. You should see the light on the Code Reader flash once when it is connected to a computer or hand held device that has been powered up. If your Code Reader does not perform as described, please review the follow- ing troubleshooting tips: • The Code Reader does not have power, the light on the top of the Code Reader does not flash when connected to a device, or the LED lights in the Code Reader’s head do not illuminate when the Code Reader’s scan buttons are pressed. Make sure that: 1. The Code Reader’s cable is securely connected to the computer or hand-held device. 2. The host system is powered on. • The Code Reader has problems reading codes. Make sure that: 1. The codes you are scanning aren’t smudged, smeared, or partially covered. 2. The codes you are scanning aren’t larger than the maximum size the Code Reader can read - they must fit in the Code Reader’s field of view. 3. You are holding the Code Reader at least one or more inches above the code. 4. You try to hold the Code Reader at different angles to read codes printed on glossy paper. 5. The type of codes you are scanning are enabled to be read by the Code Reader. 6. The Code Reader’s window is clean.
