Chapter 7 Maintenance
This chapter explains the maintenance methods to use the device in optimum
conditions. Consult your local service center if you have any further questions.
7.1
Daily maintenance
- Do not use a volatile solvent. If the device is dirty, slightly wet a soft cloth with a
neutral cleaning agent, wring out the cloth thoroughly, and gently wipe the device.
- Wiping with liquid dripping from the cloth may result in a malfunction due to the
liquid seeping in the case, between gaps of the side keys or touchscreen, or into
the sheet keys.
- Prevent the device from getting dirty. Contact will be defective and the device may
not operate properly if the device power supply terminals or battery pack terminals
are dirty. Wipe gently using cotton buds if the terminals are dirty.
- Make sure to prevent dirt. Leaving dirt on the battery pack rails until the dirt
hardens may make it impossible to remove the battery pack.
Caution
Never touch the terminals except for cleaning. This may result in defective
contacts.
Never raise or push down on the terminals.

7.2
Regular maintenance
7.2.1 Replacing a battery pack
(1)
Battery pack replacement period
The device uses a rechargeable battery pack. A battery pack life depends on the
conditions of use, but is about one day if 100 orders are entered per day. When the
battery power is exhausted, the LED on the device flashes orange. Replace with a
charged battery immediately since further wireless communications are not available.
See 3.3 for how to mount/remove a battery pack.
Caution
Always prepare a fully-charged battery pack in advance for replacement.
A battery pack takes about 4 hours to charge.
(2)
Limits to battery pack replacement time
Handheld Terminals have a built-in backup battery (a rechargeable battery for
backup). Even if the battery pack is removed, the application programs and data will
be saved for 10 minutes. Replace the battery pack within 10 minutes.
Caution
Leave the battery pack mounted to the Handheld Terminal for 24 hours
minimum after first mounting since its backup battery is not charged before
shipping. The device can take orders during this time.
Never touch the terminals on the Handheld Terminals or battery packs with
bare hands. If the terminals are dirty, contact may become defective.
7-3
7.2.2 Service life of repeatedly charged battery packs
Battery packs can be repeatedly charged with a charger and used, but will need to be
changed more frequently after charging about 500 times. As this is the operating life
of the battery pack itself, replace with a new battery pack.
