Datalogic wearables are not machine-washable. These wearables are meant to be replaced periodically due to normal 
wear and tear.  This is because gloves and wraps contain sensitive electronics in and around the scan trigger. With care, 
it is possible to clean your wearables with minimal risk to their functionality.
 
We recommend using a spray cleaner with 70% isopropyl alcohol or cleaning products designed for use on fabrics. The 
scanner clip should be cleaned with only 70% isopropyl alcohol as other chemicals may impact the structure of the clip 
over time resulting in the scanner coming loose from the clip when in use. Allow wearables to dry completely before 
continuing use.
 
Product functionality or appearance may be impacted  due to the strength of the chemicals, application methods, con-
tact time, or use of the glove aer application. We do not recommend using harsh chemical cleaners and avoid submer-
ging the glove or wrap in liquid or saturating or applying pressure to the area around the trigger.
 
Because not everyone will follow exactly the same steps with the same cloths and cleaning agents that we tested in our 
lab, Datalogic disclaims all warranties and does not assume any liability with respect to the recommendations expres-
sed here to keep your barcode scanning system clean.
Hardware:
CAUTION
Protect Hardware from moisture!
This may otherwise lead to HandScanner system not functioning properly.
CAUTION
Do not clean Hardware with chemical agents! Otherwise, the material can be damaged.
y Use isopropyl alcohol or cleaning agents approved for electronics and use it to wipe all surfaces of the 
hardware with a so cloth.
y Regularly clean the HandScanner glass with cotton swabs.
