Screen Protector

Zebra recommends the continued use of a screen protector 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 like new

• Quick and easy installation.

Not using a screen protector can affect your warranty coverage.

An initial screen protector is already applied to your MC55.

Contact your local account manager or Zebra for more information and purchasing details. Part number: KT-67525-01R Screen Protector 3/pk.

GPS Information

When using the GPS feature of the MC5574:

•

Acquiring satellite signals may take a few minutes. It is best to be outside and have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky.

•

Without a clear view, acquisition takes much longer and could result in the

MC5574 being unable to compute the initial position quickly.

•

Obtain a satellite fix before moving.

•

Shutdown GPS application when not in use.
