Cleaning Frequency
The cleaning frequency is at the customer’s discretion due to the varied environments in which the mobile devices
are used and may be cleaned as frequently as required. When dirt is visible, it is recommended to clean the mobile
device to avoid build up of particles which make the device more difficult to clean later on.
For consistency and optimum image capture, it is recommended to clean the camera window periodically
especially when used in environments prone to dirt or dust.
Cleaning the TC51
Housing
Thoroughly wipe the housing, including all buttons and triggers, using an approved alcohol wipe.
Display
The display can be wiped down with an approved alcohol wipe, but care should be taken not to allow any pooling of
liquid around the edges of the display. Immediately dry the display with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to prevent
streaking.
Camera and Exit Window
Wipe the camera and exit window periodically with a lens tissue or other material suitable for cleaning optical
material such as eyeglasses.
IMPORTANT If the battery connectors are exposed to cleaning agents, thoroughly wipe off as much of the
chemical as possible and clean with an alcohol wipe. It is also recommended to install the battery
in the terminal prior to cleaning and disinfecting the device to help minimize buildup on the
connectors.
When using cleaning/disinfectant agents on the TC51, it is important to follow the directions
prescribed by the cleaning/disinfectant agent manufacturer.
