AF
Chapter฀8฀Maintenance฀&฀Troubleshooting
This chapter includes instructions on cleaning and storing the MC75A, and provides troubleshooting solutions for
potential problems during MC75A operation.
Maintaining฀the฀MC75A
For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when using the MC75A:
• Do not scratch the screen of the MC75A. When working with the MC75A, use the supplied stylus or
plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a touch-sensitive screen. Never use an actual pen or pencil or other
sharp object on the surface of the MC75A screen.
• A screen protector, p/n KT-67525-01R, is applied to the MC75A. Motorola recommends using this to
minimize wear and tear. Screen protectors enhance the usability and durability of touch screen displays.
Benefits include:
• Protection from scratches and gouges
• Durable writing and touch surface with tactile feel
• Abrasion and chemical resistance
• Glare reduction
• Keeping the device’s screen looking new
• Quick and easy installation.
• The touch-sensitive screen of the MC75A is glass. Do not to drop the MC75A or subject it to strong impact.
• Protect the MC75A from temperature extremes. Do not leave it on the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and
keep it away from heat sources.
• Do not store or use the MC75A in any location that is dusty, damp, or wet.
• Use a soft lens cloth to clean the MC75A. If the surface of the MC75A screen becomes soiled, clean it with a
soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
• Periodically replace the rechargeable battery to ensure maximum battery life and product performance.
Battery life depends on individual usage patterns.

NOTE
Do not use a sharp object to remove the protector. Doing so can damage the display.
Battery฀Safety฀Guidelines
• The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials or chemicals.
Particular care should be taken where the device is charged in a non commercial environment.
• Follow battery usage, storage, and charging guidelines found in the user's guide.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.
• To charge the mobile device battery, the battery and charger temperatures must be between +32 ºF and
+104 ºF (0 ºC and +40 ºC)
• Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers. Use of an incompatible battery or charger may present a risk
of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. If you have any questions about the compatibility of a battery or a
charger, contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility support.
• For devices that utilize a USB port as a charging source, the device shall only be connected to products that
bear the USB-IF logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.
• To enable authentication of an approved battery, as required by IEEE1725 clause 10.2.1, all batteries will
carry a Motorola hologram. Do not fit any battery without checking it has the Motorola authentication
hologram.
• Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture, or shred.
Maintenance฀&฀Troubleshooting
8฀-฀3
• Severe impact from dropping any battery-operated device on a hard surface could cause the battery to
overheat.
• Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic or conductive objects to contact the battery terminals.
• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water
or other liquids, or expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard.
• Do not leave or store the equipment in or near areas that might get very hot, such as in a parked vehicle or
near a radiator or other heat source. Do not place battery into a microwave oven or dryer.
• Battery usage by children should be supervised.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Please follow local regulations to promptly dispose of used re-chargeable batteries.
• Seek medical advice immediately if a battery has been swallowed.
• In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has
been made, wash the affected area with large amounts of water and seek medical advice.

Allow at least 10 to 30 minutes (depending on ambient temperature and humidity) for the alcohol to air dry
before applying power to cradle.
If the temperature is low and humidity is high, longer drying time is required. Warm temperature and dry
humidity requires less drying time.
Cleaning฀Frequency
The cleaning frequency is up to the customer’s discretion due to the varied environments in which the mobile
devices 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.

If the MC75A does not beep on a good decode, set the application
to generate a beep on good decode.

When trying to
connect a Bluetooth
phone and MC75A,
the phone thinks a
previously paired
MC75A is used.
The phone
remembers the
name and address
of the MC75A it last
paired with via the
