PDT 6100 Series Portable Data Terminals

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 maximum user comfort over extended periods of use. Its small, lightweight, contoured form factor rests easily in the user's hand. The PDT 6100 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 8-line by 20-character or the 16-line by 21-character liquid crystal displays feature user-selectable backlighting and adjustable contrast setting. 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% of the weight and 20% of 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

Dramatic improvements in the battery life of the PDT 6100 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 PDT 6100 NiMH battery gives you long life, for true full-shift capabilities, no matter how intensive the demands.

Tough Enough for Any Environment

Sealed for protection against the elements, 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. The tough construction of the PDT 6100 can easily withstand multiple 4-ft./1.2 m drops to concrete.

Improved Communication Anywhere in Your Enterprise

The PDT 6100 offers either batch processing or wireless communications via Symbol's Spectrum24® wireless LAN technology. This means you have 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 640 KB to a powerful 7.6 MB.

Profit from Symbol's Strength

Symbol is the worldwide leader in bar code-driven data management systems with more than 40,000 wireless network installations and millions of scanners and terminals in use.
