Cost-Effective Performance and Flexibility for Data Intensive Applications

Batch or Radio Frequency: Choose the Model and Options that Meet Your Needs

Symbol Technologies' PDT 3100 Series are small, lightweight portable data terminals designed for flexible, single-hand operation and built for unmatched durability. These 16-bit DOS-based terminals are ideal for a wide range of data tracking applications. The PDT 3100 is designed for batch processing, while the PDT 3110 features Symbol's Spectrum One® 900 MHz radio frequency technology for real-time data exchange with your host computer.

Choose the integrated scan head option and the PDT 3100 offers a cost-effective way to maximize your productivity through laser scanning. The world's smallest scan element, the innovative SE 1000 scan engine utilizes Symbol's patented Mylar® scan element, a unique technology that creates motion without wear or tear for durable, non-stop reliability. Plus, the Mylar scan element is so reliable it comes with its own limited lifetime warranty*, another Symbol exclusive.

Throughput-- as well as user comfort -- is further enhanced via the reversible scan head which permits the user to select a left or right scanning position. Alternatively, the terminal can support a contact or tethered scanner.

More features, more performance, lower cost. Check and compare the PDT 3100 Series. Feature for feature, there's nothing like it.

Options: Customize Your Own Data Terminal

With the PDT 3100 Series, Symbol offers users a wide range of options to provide you with a terminal that can be configured to your application needs**:

Spread spectrum radio
Acoustic modem
Internal direct connect modem
High memory board (up to 1.1 MB expansion)
4 or 8-line display
21-key numeric keyboard
35 or 46-key keyboard
Single-slot cradle with internal modem option

Standard warranty and warranty service information are described on the warranty card enclosed with each product or can be obtained directly from Symbol. Contact Symbol for details.

Migration: A Path to Tomorrow

While these terminals have the features and functions to meet all of your current needs, they also offer a migration path to meet the needs of the future. That means your investment is totally protected. And, when you're ready, you can depend on Symbol for the support and know-how to upgrade your terminals.

Laser Scanning: The Better Choice

With the PDT 3100 Series, all the benefits of integrated non-contact scanning are available in a cost-effective package. The integrated scanner leaves contact scanners far behind with its ability to:

Read at a distance

Read poor quality symbols or large bar codes

Deliver high first-time read rate and accuracy

Scan through plastic and other protective coatings

All of this makes the PDT 3100 Series the choice over contact scanners in applications such as in-store retail, grocery stores, and package/freight/asset tracking and electronic ordering systems (EOS).

The Easiest Choice of All

Enhanced productivity, ease of use and competitive pricing: the PDT 3100 Series wins on all counts. They're the terminals of choice -- to meet all your needs today and for easy migration to expanded capabilities in the future. But you would expect that of products from Symbol Technologies; after all, we're the leader in bar code-driven data management transaction systems, with more than 3 million scanners and terminals installed worldwide.
