4. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your TEKLEAD T-D3H barcode scanner, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning the Scanning Window: Regularly wipe the scanning window with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
- General Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the scanner clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure no liquids enter the device.
- Cable Inspection: Periodically check the USB cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Replace if necessary to prevent connectivity issues.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the scanner in a clean, dry environment away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
The scanner features an anti-fall design with ABS material construction, enhancing its durability and resistance to accidental impacts.
