Portable and Rugged Terminals for Scan-Intensive Applications

The PDT 6800 Series are rugged, lightweight portable data terminals combining mobile computing and optional wireless communications with comfortable, well-balanced "forward-scanning" ergonomics. Designed for harsh environments, the PDT 6800 is excellent for industrial markets such as transportation and distribution, yet small enough for scan-intensive applications in retail, such as inventory management and replenishment, price management and receiving.

Carrying on the legacy of Symbol's popular Laser Data and Laser Radio Terminals, this single-handed productivity tool offers a spacious 35- or 46-key alphanumeric keypad, internally mounted radio antenna, and your choice of standard, long-range or high-visibility scanning options.

Communications options include both Spectrum24® or Spectrum One® wireless LAN connectivity for real-time high-performance data transfer. Or, choose batch communications with an extended memory option for onsite processing and quick uploading/downloading to your PC. Additionally, the PDT 6800 was specifically designed to make full use of existing LRT/LDT cradles and peripherals, providing a total system solution without the added cost of changing the accessories.

Flexible Computing Where You Need It

The PDT 6800 incorporates a convenient and powerful DOS-based industry standard architecture that allows for efficient programming and development of demanding interactive, information-intensive applications. Whether your application calls for inventory counts, shelf price audits, receiving, stock transfers, markdowns or purchasing, the large 16-line backlit display provides greater data content and readability. Easily connect a portable printer and you can generate new bar codes for price markdowns or shelf label changes-right on the sales floor!

This tough terminal also has a ruggedized housing to withstand multiple 4 ft/1.2 m drops to concrete-across its entire operating temperature range-and is environmentally sealed against severe weather conditions, including dust and rain. Add in Spectrum24® wireless LAN connectivity with a high-visibility scanner and you have a durable decision support tool for real-time data management that reads bar codes accurately in full sunlight outdoors or in high intensity artificial light indoors. Includes a large capacity battery, making the PDT 6800 Series ideal for increased productivity in warehouses, distribution centers and trucking operations.

Symbol is the worldwide leader in bar code-driven data management systems with more than 30,000 wireless network installations and over 6 million scanners and terminals in use.
