                                 ---------------


                  FURTHER CONSENT (this "Consent"), dated as of February 12,
1999, given under the Business Purpose Revolving Promissory Note (Swing Line),
dated August 4, 1998 (the "Note"), by Telxon Corporation (the "Borrower") in
favor of Bank One, NA (the "Bank").

                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

I. Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined herein shall
have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Note.

II. The Borrower and the Bank are parties to a Consent, dated as of December 29,
1998 (the "Original Consent") pursuant to which the Bank has consent to the
Waiver and Agreement, dated as of even date with the Original Consent (the
"Amendment"), under the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 8, 1996, by and
among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto, and The Bank of New York, as
issuer, swing line lender and agent (as amended from time to time, the "Credit
Agreement").

III. The Borrower has requested that the parties to the Credit Agreement grant a
further waiver to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, including an
extension of the waiver granted under the Amendment, such further waiver being
substantially in the form of the Waiver Extension and Agreement attached as
Exhibit A hereto (the "Further Amendment"), and accordingly, has requested that
the Bank consent to the Further Amendment.

IV. Certain defaults have occurred or may occur under the Credit Agreement and
the Note, which defaults are being waived in the manner, and for the period,
provided in the Further Amendment and hereunder.

                  Accordingly, in consideration of the Recitals and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Bank does hereby agree as follows:

                  1. CONSENT. The Bank does hereby consent to the execution and
         delivery by the Borrower of the Further Amendment, provided that this
         Consent shall not become effective unless and until the Borrower shall
         have provided the Bank with written certification that the Borrower's
         Eligible Accounts Receivable and Eligible Inventory (as such terms are
         defined in the Credit Agreement) as of January 31, 1999 are sufficient
         under the formula set forth in Section 2(i) of the Amendment, as being
         modified by the Further Amendment, to support the Borrower's currently 
         outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Subject to the
         Bank's receipt of the foregoing certification, this Consent will be
         effective until March 26, 1999. The Bank further agrees that the
         effectiveness of the Original Consent shall not expire as of the time
         provided therein but shall be extended and remain in effect for and
         until the end of the period specified in the immediately preceding
         sentence.

         reaffirms and admits the validity and (subject to the terms of the
         Credit Agreement as referenced in and made a part of the terms of the
         Note, as such Credit Agreement terms are waived or modified by the
         Amendment and the Further Amendment) enforceability of the Note and all
         of its obligations thereunder as of the date hereof, (ii) acknowledges

         Bank.

                  3. CONSENT LIMITED. In all other respects, the Note shall
         remain in full force and effect.

                  4. COUNTERPARTS. This Consent may be executed in any number of
         counterparts all of which, taken together shall constitute one Consent.
         In making proof of this Consent, it shall only be necessary to produce
         the counterpart executed and delivered by the party to be charged.

                  5. GOVERNING LAW. THIS CONSENT IS BEING EXECUTED AND DELIVERED

Consent to be executed on its behalf as of the date first above written.
