Special Cleaning Notes
Many vinyl gloves contain phthalate additives, which are often not recommended for medical use and are known to
be harmful to the housing of the device. The device should not be handled while wearing vinyl gloves containing
phthalates, or before hands are washed to remove contaminant residue after gloves are removed. If products
containing any of the harmful ingredients listed above are used prior to handling the device, such as hand sanitizer
that contain ethanolamine, hands must be completely dry before handling the device to prevent damage to the
plastics.
Cleaning Materials Required
• Alcohol wipes
• Lens tissue
• Cotton tipped applicators
• Isopropyl alcohol
• Can of compressed air with a tube.
Cleaning Frequency
The cleaning frequency is up to the customer’s discretion due to the varied environments in which the WT6000
units are used. They may be cleaned as frequently as required. However when used in dirty environments it may
be advisable to periodically clean the scanner exit window to ensure optimum scanning performance.
Cleaning the WT6000
Housing
Using the alcohol wipes, wipe the housing.
Display
The display can be wiped down with the alcohol wipes, but care should be taken not to allow any pooling of liquid
around the edges of the display. Immediately dried the display with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to prevent streaking.
Power Connector
1. Remove the battery from WT6000.
2. Dip the cotton portion of the cotton tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol.
3. Rub the cotton portion of the cotton tipped applicator back-and-forth across the connector inside the handle of
the WT6000. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connector.
4. Repeat at least three times.
5. Use the cotton tipped applicator dipped in alcohol to remove any grease and dirt near the connector area.
6. Use a dry cotton tipped applicator and repeat steps 3 through 5.
7. Spray compressed air on the connector area by pointing the tube/nozzle about ½ inch away from the surface.
8. Inspect the area for any grease or dirt, repeat if required.
CAUTION: Do not point nozzle at yourself and others, ensure the nozzle or tube is away from your face.
