Symbol Technologies Symbol PDT 6800 Series Portable Data Terminals
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. To find out how the PDT 6800 can work for your application, call any of our
