NOTE Symbol recommends installing the desiccant bags in environments where extreme temperature changes
occur, such as applications where the device may be continuously moved between a freezer and a hot /
humid area. Desiccant bags should be replaced more often in the hot / humid months of summer and less
frequently in dry/cold months of winter. If desiccant is not used, the desiccant door must still be installed and
secured. Replacement Desiccant Kits are available from Symbol, Part Number: KT-84524-01.
