INFORMATION

This terminal is a compact, programmable
handheld terminal, and is well suited for a
variety of indoor portable applications. It has a
built-in laser scanner that can scan all popular
bar code labels at varying distances.
User’s applications can be downloaded to the
terminal to adapt the terminal to the user’s
situation.
Operating power is supplied by the main
battery. The main battery may consist of a
rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack (to be
charged in cradle), or dry cell batteries, either
non-rechargeable or rechargeable (to be
charged in an external charger).
The cradle can be equipped with a transceiver
function only, for terminals with dry cell batteries,
this will be sufficient. The cradle can also be
equipped with both transceiver and charger.
The charger is needed for terminals with a
rechargable battery pack.
The IrDA interface on the terminal enables
you to communicate with other devices that
use IrDA communication, like portable
computers, notebooks and organisers.
Additionally a RS232 cable can be used.
The RS232 cable can be used for direct
communication between the (host) computer
system and the terminal, for example to
download software to the terminal.
