Maintaining the MC50
For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when using the mobile computer:
• Take care not to scratch the screen of the mobile computer. When working with the mobile computer, 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 mobile computer screen. Symbol recommends the use of
a screen protector, part number KT-67525-01.
• The mobile computer is not water and dust resistant, do not expose it to rain or moisture for an extended period of time. In
general, treat the mobile computer as you would a pocket calculator or other small electronic instrument.
• The touch-sensitive screen of the mobile computer contains glass. Take care not to drop the mobile computer or subject it
to strong impact.
• Protect the mobile computer 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 mobile computer in any location that is dusty, damp, or wet.
• Use a soft lens cloth to clean the mobile computer. If the surface of the mobile computer screen becomes soiled, clean it
with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
• Periodically replace the main battery to ensure maximum battery life and product performance. The life expectancy of the
battery is dependant upon individual usage pattern(s).
• The MC50 battery requires periodic calibration to maintain an accurate calibration of the battery's gas gauge. To calibrate
the battery, deplete the battery completely from a full charge condition. Symbol recommends performing this once a week.
