Efficient real time information exchange for maximum productivity

The PDT 6846 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 6846 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. Building on the legacy of Symbol's popular Laser Data and Laser Radio Terminals this single-handed productivity tool offers a spacious 46-key alphanumeric keypad internally mounted radio antenna and your choice of standard long-range high-visibility or two-dimensional scanning options. Communications options include both Spectrum24 Direct Sequence and Frequency Hopping wireless LAN connectivity for real-time high-performance data transfer. Or choose batch communications with an extended memory option for on-site processing and quick uploading-downloading to your PC. Additionally the PDT 6846 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.
