Maintenance
Repairs
Repairs and/or upgrades are not to be performed on this product.  These ser-
vices are to be performed only by an authorized service center (see Customer 
Support on page 12-1).
Maintenance
Your device provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care.  
Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks 
ensure dependable operation:
Cleaning the Device:
Reading performance may degrade if the scanner’s window is not clean.  If 
the window is visibly dirty, or if the scanner isn’t operating well, clean the 
window with a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild 
detergent- water solution).  If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a 
clean lens tissue dampened with water only.
The scanner and base’s housing may also be cleaned the same way.
Inspecting Cords and Connectors
Inspect the interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of dam-
age.  A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with scanner 
operation.  Contact your distributor for information about cable replace-
ment.  Cable replacement instructions are on page 11-1.
Replacing Cables
The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with an 10-pin modular 
connector.  When properly seated, the connector is held in the scanner’s handle 
by a flexible retention tab.  The interface cable is designed to be field replace-
able.
Do not submerge the scanner in water. The scanner’s 
housing is not watertight. 
Do not use abrasive wipes or tissues on the scanner’s 
window – abrasive wipes may scratch the window.  Never 
use solvents (e.g., alcohol or acetone) on the housing or 
window – solvents may damage the finish or the window.
!Caution: 
						

							11 - 2
 Order replacement cables from Honeywell or from an authorized distributor.
 When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the 
original interface cable.
Replacing an Interface Cable
1. Turn the power to the host system OFF.
2. Disconnect the scanner’s cable from the 
terminal or computer.
3. Locate the small hole on the underside of 
the scanner’s handle.  This is the cable 
release.
4. Straighten one end of a paper clip.
5. Insert the end of the paper clip into the small 
hole and press in.  This depresses the 
retention tab, releasing the connector.  Pull 
the connector out while maintaining 
pressure on the paper clip, then remove the 
paper clip.
6. Replace with the new cable.  
Insert the connector into the opening and press firmly.  The connector is 
keyed to go in only one way, and will click into place.
Troubleshooting a Voyager Scanner
The scanner automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on.  If 
your scanner is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshoot-
ing Guide to try to isolate the problem.
Is the power on?  Is the laser aimer on? 
If the laser aimer isn’t illuminated, check that:
 The cable is connected properly.
 The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).
 The trigger works.
Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols?
If the scanner isn’t reading symbols well, check that the scanner window is 
clean and that the symbols:
 Aren’t smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.
 Aren’t coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.
 Are enabled in the scanner or in the decoder to which the scanner 
connects.
Is the bar code displayed but not entered?
The bar code is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to 
press a key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or the Tab key, for example).

Release 
						

							11 - 3
 You need to program a suffix.  Programming a suffix enables the scanner 
to output the bar code data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter 
the data into your application.  Refer to Prefix/Suffix Overviewon page 4-
1 for further information.
Does the scanner read the bar code incorrectly?
If the scanner reads a bar code, but the data is not displayed correctly on 
the host screen:
 The scanner may not be programmed for the appropriate terminal 
interface. 
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “@es%.”
Reprogram the scanner with the correct Plug and Play bar code.  See 
Programming the Interfacebeginning on page 2-1.
 The scanner may not be programmed to output your bar code data 
properly.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “A12345B.”
Reprogram the scanner with the proper symbology selections.  See 
Chapter 6.
The scanner won’t read your bar code at all.
1. Scan the sample bar codes in the back of this manual.  If the scanner 
reads the sample bar codes, check that your bar code is readable.
Verify that your bar code symbology is enabled (see Chapter 6).  
2. If the scanner still can’t read the sample bar codes, scan All 
Symbologies On, page 6-1.
If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the scanner, 
or if you want the factory default settings restored, refer to Setting Custom 
Defaultson page 1-5.
