Cleaning the barcode scanner
window
The barcode scanner window should be cleaned periodi-
cally. Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe the barcode scanner
window.
Cleaning/disinfecting the base
unit
1 Unplug the base unit before cleaning/disinfecting.
2 Wipe over the surfaces with a soft lint-free cloth
slightly dampened (wring out any excess).
If using commercially available pre-moistened cleaning/
disinfecting wipes, squeeze off excess solution or blot
on a dry paper towel to remove any excess solution
before wiping the surface of the base unit.
Do not wipe the electrical connectors on the back of the
base unit.
3 Dry the base unit thoroughly after cleaning/disin-
fecting. Visually verify that no solution is seen in the
base unit connectors at the completion of disin-
fecting. If fluid is allowed to collect in any connector,
severe damage can occur to the meter and the base
unit.
4 Plug in the base unit.
NOTICE
Ensure meter/base unit (including connectors) are
thoroughly dried after cleaning or disinfecting. A flashing
LED (red) on the base unit indicates a fault condition.
NOTICE
Do not spray the base unit directly with solutions as this
could cause the solution to enter the case and damage
the electronic components.
If cleaning/disinfecting solution does get on the connec-
tors or pools in the base unit, unplug the base unit, then
dry the components with a dry cloth or gauze pad
before returning the meter to the base unit.
