2. Press the scan key. Ensure the red scan beam covers the
entire bar code.
Maintaining the Terminal
The terminal is factory-sealed and contains no user-serviceable
parts. Only qualified Symbol Service Centers should service the
terminal.
Clean the casing, keyboard, and display window by wiping with a
soft cloth. If necessary, use the following Oasis products:
• Plasti-Kleen (Oasis part number 2200105656)
• Allstar Film Free (Oasis part number 15361).
Never use solvents or abrasive cleaners. You may damage the
display or keyboard. Never use a pressure hose to clean the unit.
