PDT 6100 Portable Data Terminal

Establishing New Benchmarks in Portable Data Terminals

Building on the legacy of our industry-leading PDT 3100 Portable Data Terminals, the PDT 6100 Series combines superior ergonomics, a high-performance scan engine and optimum battery life to provide you with unsurpassed performance for gathering, displaying and communicating the critical data that drives your business. Available in both retail and industrial versions, the PDT 6100 Series provides you with broader, more robust bar code-driven data management than ever before.

Superior Ergonomics and Advanced Features

The PDT 6100 Series has been ergonomically designed to provide the maximum in user comfort over extended periods of use. Its small, lightweight, contoured form factor rests easily in the user's hand. The PDT 6100 also allows for both left- or right-handed operation and a choice of conveniently spaced 35- or 46-key alphanumeric or 21-key numeric keyboard configurations for easy input-even for users who need to wear gloves.

The PDT 6100 offers a choice of brightly lit, easy-to-read display options. The 4- or 8-line by 20-character or the 16-line by 21-character liquid crystal display with optional backlighting and adjustable contrast setting allow clear reading. Signature capture is useful for proof-of-delivery and tracking or tracing of goods, parcels, and packages. Each display is scratch-resistant and sealed against moisture and dust.

Premium Scanning Performance

The PDT 6100 incorporates Symbol's standard, high-performance SE 900 Scan Engine - the smallest, lightest and brightest scan engine available today! Just 15% the weight and 20% the size of the SE 1200, it is designed to provide the highest scanning performance in the smallest package possible.

Power When You Need It The dramatic improvements in the PDT 6100's battery life will pay dividends to your company's data-intensive applications wherever you use them. From retail operations where portable data terminals increase speed and efficiency of shelf pricing, audits, price checking, order entry, and inventory control, to transportation and logistics companies who need to perform package/baggage tracking, picking, receiving and cross-dock applications, the new PDT 6100 NiMH battery gives you 40% more life than PDT 3100 batteries - for true full-shift capabilities, no matter how intensive the demands. Tough Enough for Any Environment

The PDT 6100 Series industrial version has the ruggedized housing you need for mobile applications, even in the most demanding indoor or outdoor manufacturing environments. It incorporates IP54 standards for protection against the elements. The PDT 6100's tough construction can easily withstand multiple 4 ft/1.2 m drops to concrete.

Improved Communication Anywhere in Your Enterprise

The PDT 6100 comes in both batch processing and wireless models that employ Spectrum One® or Spectrum24® wireless LAN technologies. This means you have more options for collecting data easily and communicating it to your host computer, and for keeping track of information generated anywhere in your organization. For batch processing applications, you can even choose RAM options from 1.2MB to a powerful 7.6MB.
