CHAPTER 7 MAINTENANCE AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
Introduction
This chapter includes instructions on cleaning and storing the device, and provides troubleshooting solutions for
potential problems during operation.
Maintaining the MC32N0
For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when using the MC32N0:
•Do not scratch the screen of the MC32N0. When working with the MC32N0, 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 MC32N0 screen.
•The touch-sensitive screen of the MC32N0 is glass. Do not to drop the MC32N0 or subject it to strong
impact.
•Protect the MC32N0 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 MC32N0 in any location that is dusty, damp, or wet.
•Use a soft lens cloth to clean the MC32N0. If the surface of the MC32N0 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.
•A screen protector is applied to the MC32N0. Zebra 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.

Connector Cleaning
To clean the connectors:
1. Remove the main battery from mobile computer.
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. 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 4 through 6.
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.
Cleaning Cradle Connectors
To clean the connectors on a cradle:
1. Remove the DC power cable from the cradle.
2. Dip the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol.
3. Rub the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator along the pins of the connector. Slowly move the
