Datasheet

trigger enables easy and comfortable scanning
in handheld mode. A specially designed laser-
generated aiming pattern offers a clear and bright
field of view even in bright sunlight, ensuring first
time accurate aim. The extra loud beeper provides
audible verification of an accurate scan in even the
busiest retail environments. And a single swipe can
simultaneously scan the price and deactivate an EAS
tag, further protecting productivity at the checkout
stand — and preventing erroneous alarms that
embarrass customers and waste security staff time.
Reduce costs and increase sales with the
applications of today…and tomorrow
The adaptable DS9808 is ideal in a wide variety of
retail operations. For countries that utilize a PDF417
bar code on a national ID card or drivers’ license,
embedded and server-based parsing agents enable
decoding with very little effort. The parsing is
executed either in the scanner or the host, enabling
department, specialty and convenience stores as
well as pharmacies to implement a wide range of
applications that can improve productivity, customer
service, customer retention and sales. For example,
a quick scan can instantly and accurately auto-
populate a credit application, reducing processing
time. For pharmacies, a quick scan enables efficient
electronic record keeping to help meet compliance
regulations for the purchase of certain over-the-
counter and prescription medications. Retailers
who sell items with age restrictions can prevent
unlawful transactions with a quick scan of a driver’s
license for automatic age verification. At the returns
desk, a quick scan helps retailers who do not
require receipts to better prevent fraudulent returns.
The DS9808 also decodes 1D and 2D bar codes
from mobile phone displays, providing support for
emerging applications including mobile coupons,
mobile payment, mobile boarding passes and
digital loyalty. Support for an optional RFID module*
enables your retail operation to embrace the benefits
of RFID in the future.
Durable design for a low total cost of ownership
The DS9808 offers a new standard for bar
code scanner reliability, providing the maximum
uptime required in the demanding retail environment.
The 5 ft./1.5 m drop to concrete drop specification
ensures dependable performance — in spite of the
inevitable everyday drops and bumps.
Rapid return on investment (ROI)
With the flexible DS9808, there is no need to
purchase multiple devices to enable different
types of data capture in your enterprise — no
matter what applications you need now or in the
future, the powerful comprehensive feature set
will meet your needs. You enjoy the functionality
of an image capture device, a bar code scanner, an
EAS tag deactivator and an RFID reader* — all in
a single device. Capital and operational costs are
significantly reduced — there are fewer devices
to purchase and manage, and compatibility with
Remote Scanner Management (RSM) enables
remote configuration, deployment and day-to-day
management of the devices. And for true service
peace of mind, Motorola recommends Service from
the Start Advance Exchange Support. This multi-
year coverage plan provides the next-business-day
device replacement you need to keep your business
running smoothly and productively. Your DS9808 will
also be protected from the unexpected with built-in
Comprehensive Coverage, which covers internal and
external components damaged through accidental
breakage. The result is an extraordinary lifecycle,
extraordinary uptime — and a truly outstanding ROI.
