Power and Performance for Extreme
Environments
The feature-rich PDT 7500 Portable Data Terminal from
Symbol Technologies thrives in the heat, cold and dust of
even the harshest industrial environments.
One of the pioneers in Symbol’s line of products for extreme
environments, the PDT 7500 industrial terminal, is a light-
weight hand-held terminal with advanced bar code scanning,
data processing and communications features. Built for produc-
tivity and comfort in demanding environments, the versatile
PDT 7500 links workers to data and to each other in trans-
portation and logistics environments such as warehouses,
docks, yards, and even on the road.
Designed for Extreme Environments
PDT 7500 Series terminals meet the most stringent industrial
standards and are sealed to IP64 specifications for protection
against water and dust. The terminals are fully functional in
temperatures ranging from -13º to 122ºF/-25º to 50ºC and
can withstand multiple drops of up to 6 ft./1.8 m to concrete.
As innovative as it is rugged, the PDT 7500 delivers the
sophisticated ergonomic features customers need. Weighing
only 19 oz./532 gm, the terminal is light enough for extended
periods of use. The push-button keypad has color-coded keys
to facilitate data entry, and the 1/8 CGA screen has a crystal-
clear 240 x 160 pixel resolution and a generous 30 character
by 20-line display. The display is backlit so it is easily viewed –
even in dimly lit areas. Symbol’s innovative design includes
a reverse grip and hand support that can be used in signature
capture, important for proof of delivery and for tracking or
tracing goods, parcels and packages.
Power and Performance for Large Jobs
The terminals in the PDT 7500 Series are designed to have the
power and performance to handle large jobs. The integrated
high-speed SE 2200 scan engine incorporates advanced scanning
for fast 1-D and 2-D bar code data capture. The device reads
bar-coded shipping manifests, and pallet contents at 15 times
the speed of most other scan engines. The conveniently placed
scan trigger is easy to turn on and off during single-handed use.
Formidable scanning jobs, complex programs and data-intensive
tasks such as inventory tracking or materials management are
perfect for the PDT 7500. Within its sealed case are a fast, state-
of-the art, 486-based AMD Elan SC400 microprocessor and
a low-power 32-bit single chip/AT-based micro-controller that
runs industry-standard MS-DOS or many Windows CE appli-
cations. Up to 16 MB of RAM and 16 MB of flash memory,
among the largest data storage capacities available, assure
flawless performance regardless of the job size.
PORTABLE DATA TERMINALS
Transmits Data Anytime, Anywhere
The PDT 7500 transmits data on the dock or on the road with
either batch processing or RF models that support Spectrum24
®
wireless LAN technology or Wide Area Networks ( WANs).
For maximum operating convenience, the high-capacity lithium
ion battery operates for an 8-10-hour work shift and signals the
operator when it is time for a recharge. The terminal slips into
an optional free-standing or vehicle-mounted cradle for battery
charging and data transfer.
The PDT 7500 is backed by a worldwide service repair and
support network offered by Symbol Technologies. Symbol
systems are critical to your business success in data-intensive,
time-sensitive environments because our systems help you
capture, access and manage information at the point of activity.
