key-based data entry.
Understanding and Anticipating
Diverse Business Needs
Designed to meet mobile
data management demands
in an array of markets,
the PDT8100 offers features

applications and business
needs. For instance, multiple

taking inventory in the
warehouse, or checking
on an order from a customer
site.
Ease of use and reliability
are benefits that are
valued across all markets.
The PDT8100 features a
large, easy-to-read 1/4

lithium-ion battery, which
contribute to the PDT8100's
dependability and universal
