Symbol Technologies Symbol WSS 1000 Wearable System
with RS 1 Ring Scanner
The Laser Scanner You Wear on Your Finger to Read Barcodes without
Interrupting Work Flow
Symbol Technologies' RS 1 Ring Scanner redefines point and shoot scanning. It's
the revolutionary laser scanning you slip on your index finger... and then go to work:
Point your finger, activate the scanner with a squeeze of your thumb and the RS 1 reads
barcodes from four to 30 inches (10 to 76 cm), even poor quality barcodes.
Revolutionary Ergonomic and Performance for Truly Hands-Free
Scanning
The RS 1 Ring Scanner is activated by pressing the thumb against a button at the base of
the wearer's finger. A red and green LED on the ring confirms the scan. Weighing less than
1.7 ounces (48 gm) it can be worn indefinitely without fatigue. And, at just .9 inches
(2.3cm) high, it's compact enough to avoid bumps and knocks; but even when it doesn't
there's a scratch-resistant coating to protect the replaceable window. Its Mylar scan
element is not only super small and lightweight, it's frictionless, so there's no wear and
tear on the moving parts.
The mount for the RS 1 features an adjustable strap, allowing it to fit
fingers of all sizes, and because it's reversible it works equally well for right- and
left-handers. With user safety in mind, Symbol has designed the ring scanner to break away
from the finger at under 20 pounds (9 kg) of pressure.
Expand the Capabilities and Flexibility of Your Existing Terminals
A single lightweight cable connects the RS 1 to a wide variety of data collection and
transmission devices from Symbol Technologies or other manufacturers. It connects to portable
data terminals, such as, Symbol's popular PDT 3100, 3300, and 3500
Series; to Symbol's wearable computer, the APS 3395 Application
Productivity System, as a replacement for the scanner worn on the back of the hand; to portable
pen terminals, such as Symbol's PPT 4600 Series; and even to stationary
terminals, such as PCs and retail POS registers. The RS 1's easy retrofit feature
is a cost-effective way to extend the life of your investment by adding scanning
capabilities to your existing terminals.
More than a Scanner, the RS 1 Can Be Part of a Wearable
Productivity System
The RS 1 is also a primary component in Symbol's all-new WSS 1000 Wearable Scanning System
Series. In this application, it connects to an integrated computer and wireless radio worn
on the forearm. The WSS 1000 and RS 1 form a complete productivity system with today's
most advanced ergonomics, robust data collection capabilities, and batch processing or
wireless communications using Symbol's Spectrum One RF technology. What's more, as part of
the WSS 1000, the RS 1's low power consumption further enhances productivity because a
single battery charge lasts through a full shift.
Applications Unlimited
In warehouse and distribution environments, it's ideal
for shipping and receiving, order picking, stock pulling, and put-away, item tracking,
cross-dock transfers, and inventories/cycle counts.
Parcel and package delivery companies will put the RS 1
to work doing parcel sortation, tracking and cross-dock transfers.
Retailers will use it not only for point of sale
applications, but for shelf price audits, store transfers and inventory management.
Manufacturers to track work in process; for freight
movers in tracking shipments and managing cross-dock transfers
Passenger airlines in baggage tracking and sortation
and inventory services.
