5. Spray compressed air in the connector area by pointing the tube/nozzle approximately 1/2 inch (1 cm)
away from the surface.
a. Ensure that there is no lint left by the cotton tipped applicator. Remove lint if found.
b. If grease and other dirt are found on other areas of the cradle, use a lint free cloth and isopropyl
alcohol to remove.
c. Allow at least 10 to 30 minutes (depending on ambient temperature and humidity) for the isopropyl
alcohol to air dry before applying power to cradle.
Battery Information
Rechargeable battery packs are designed and constructed to the highest standards within the industry.
However, there are limitations to how long a battery can operate or be stored before needing replacement.
Many factors affect the life of a battery pack such as heat, cold, customer usage profiles, age and severe
drops.
When batteries are stored over a year, battery cell manufacturers advise that some irreversible deterioration in
overall battery quality may occur. To minimize this loss, they recommend storing batteries half charged in a dry,
cool place between 41° F and 77° F (5° C and 25° C), the cooler the better, and removed from the equipment
to prevent the loss of capacity. Batteries should be charged to half capacity at least once a year. If an
electrolyte leakage is observed, avoid any contact with the affected area and properly dispose of the battery.
Replace the battery when a significant loss of run time is detected. Batteries must be charged within the 32° F
to 104° F (0° C to 40°C) temperature range.
The standard warranty period for all Zebra batteries is 30 days, regardless if the battery was purchased
separately or included as part of the linear imager scanner. For more information on batteries, please visit:

CAUTION When using compressed air, always wear eye protection; do not point nozzle at yourself or
others; make sure the nozzle or tube is pointing away from your face; read warning label on
compressed air product.
NOTE If the temperature is low and humidity is high, longer drying time is required. Warm temperature
and low humidity requires less drying time.
