1.3 Product Features
The 8570 Vehicle-Mount Computer is a powerful, rugged, high-speed computer that
has been designed to operate in environments that are hostile to regular computers.
It has the capabilities of a high-performance commercial computer and yet

real world of portable computing. It is available in both Standard Temperature and
Freezer/ Extreme Temperature versions (see page 35 for detailed freezer operating
information, and page 81 for environmental specifications).
The 8570 computer is spill, dust, and dirt-proof to handle the harsh conditions found
in manufacturing, warehousing, distribution and intermodel operations. The
computer can be conveniently mounted on forklift trucks, carts, vehicles and
transtainers. It can also be mounted at fixed locations adjacent to cross-dock doors
or manufacturing stations. For detailed information on installation options, please
refer to Chapter 4: Installation.

touch screen that is compatible with Windows 98/2000, My-T-Soft and other

connectors allow you to extend the capabilities of the 8570 by adding different
accessories, such as an external keyboard, scanners, disk drives, radio cards,
modems, LAN cards, etc. The 8570 includes 802.11b 2.4 GHz RF compatibility,
