Mobile
Applications in a Small Package
The
Symbol / Motorola 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.
Big Value in a Small Package
Weighing in at just 5.6 oz./157 gm and standing a mere 5.3
in./13.5 cm high, the 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. The terminal is available in two RAM
configurations for data storage: 512 KB and 2 MB.
Powerful Technology for Efficient Operation
The
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.
Built-in Comfort and Durability
The
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.
Easy Data Transfer
Everything about the 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®.
Friendly, Programmable Environment
The
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).
Battery Power Options
The
PDT 1100 has a choice of power options to fit its range of uses.
In the base configuration, the 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.
Complete Support Worldwide
The
PDT 1100 is backed by Symbol Technologies' worldwide service and
support network. Symbol systems are critical to business success
in data-intensive, time-critical environments because our
systems help you capture, access and manage information at the
point of business activity.
