ad Symbol PDT 1100 Portable Data Terminal with Powerful Laser Bar Code Scanning Technology and Data Capture for Utility Meter Reading, Sales Automation, Electronic Order Entry, Parcel Delivery, Route Accounting

The Symbol PDT 1100 packs powerful laser bar code scanning technology into a cost-effective, lightweight, pocket- sized terminal. Built to fit the hand, this terminal makes it easy for mobile workers on the go to capture data quickly and accurately.

Weighing in at just 5.6 oz./157 gm and standing a mere 5.3 in./13.5 cm high, the Symbol PDT 1100 is loaded with versatile features. Companies with mobile work forces will find it the perfect fit for many applications and industries, including utility meter reading, sales automation, electronic order entry, parcel delivery, route accounting, inventory maintenance and parts tracking. Its wrist strap or optional pocket clip secures the terminal out of the way for driving, carrying packages or other tasks that require both hands. The terminal is available in two RAM configurations for data storage: 512 KB and 2 MB.

The Symbol PDT 1100 uses Symbol's SE 1200 scan engine for maximum efficiency. Users can capture data from 40-mil bar codes at distances up to 22 in./56 cm, including data from poorly printed and low-contrast symbols. The practical design offers two ways to capture bar code data: from two easy-to-reach side-mount triggers or from the top- mounted M1 and M2 keys, which can be programmed as bar code scanning triggers.

The Symbol PDT 1100 was built to adapt to many uses and situations. The terminal's 26-key keypad and readable 6-line by 16-character LCD display take the effort out of data entry. With eight dedicated function keys, users can call up special applications or functions with push-button ease. The display can be backlit for comfortable reading at night or in dimly lit environments. Rugged enough for operation in office and field environments, the terminal can withstand 4-ft./1.2 meter drops to concrete.

Everything about the Symbol PDT 1100 is versatile, including data transfer. The terminal communicates with the host computer via a communications cradle or directly via the built-in Ir port. The terminal can communicate with any PC with a standard IrDA port. All the communication modes use a prepackaged, host-based software transfer utility that runs in Microsoft DOS and Microsoft Windows.

The Symbol PDT 1100 is as easy to program as it is to operate. Developers can create, customize and maintain end-user applications with a BASIC compiler in Microsoft DOS or Microsoft Windows. Applications are stored into the terminal's non-volatile ROM or loaded into RAM. (Programs stored in non-volatile ROM are not lost when the batteries are removed).

The Symbol PDT 1100 has a choice of power options to fit its range of uses. In the base configuration, the Symbol PDT 1100 uses two standard AAA batteries. An optional rechargeable NiMH battery which slips into the same space as the AAA batteries, can be purchased with the terminal or added later. While the terminal is in use, a separate battery charger can repower as many as four NiMH battery packs simultaneously. Another option is to place the battery-pack-loaded terminal into a communications cradle with charging capability. The cradle has a separate slot for charging a spare battery pack.
