The PDT 3100 is designed for applications such as package tracking, electronic ordering, freight tracking, asset and item tracking and other applications requiring light and compact data terminals. At 14 ounces and 8 x 2.5 inches, the PDT 3100 comfortably fits the hand and is significantly smaller, lighter and better balanced than other terminals on the market. With its innovative swivel head scanner design, the PDT 3100 instantly adjusts for right or left-hand operation, enhancing productivity and ease of use. Alternately, the base terminal supports a traditional cabled contact or non-contact scanner.
Customers configure a terminal best suited to their specific applications.
The basic 16-bit DOS terminal features 640 Kbyte RAM and 256 Kbyte of application storage. When not in use, the PDT 3100 rests in a cradle that provides battery recharging as well as data communication to the host system. Each terminal is designed for a full shift of scan-intensive use without recharging. The internal direct-connect modem lets users in the field communicate via standard switched telephone lines by connecting the terminal directly to a telephone outlet. When such a wire connection is impossible, an optional internal acoustic modem, with its rubber telephone coupler, supports simplex, or one-way, data transmission and allows a connection to any telephone handset worldwide.
