POCKETABLE COMPUTERS
Rugged Pocketable Computers with
Wireless LAN and PDF417 Capabilities
The SPT 1700 family continues the revolution of pocketable
computing, combining integrated scanning, sophisticated
connectivity and ruggedness with the popular Palm
®
platform.
The SPT 1700 offers ruggedized data communications
capabilities with its built-in link to the open architecture of
Spectrum24
®
. This wireless LAN from Symbol Technologies
enables up-to-the-minute information flow between the point
of activity and your remote host systems.
The newest addition to the Symbol SPT 1700 family, the
SPT 1700-2D, offers flexible 1D and entry-level PDF417
bar code data capture. Available in both batch and wireless
configurations, the SPT 1700-2D complements the SPT 1700
product family, further expanding the capabilities of a proven
productivity tool.
Empower Your Work Force
The feature-rich SPT 1700 product family extends the reach
of IT resources in a host of industries. Warehouse management
can easily record new inventory levels to networked host systems
as shipments are unloaded. Service professionals in hospitality
can offer curbside check-in at hotels, and hospital physicians
and caregivers can have the latest patient data at hand.
Additionally, with its PDF417 scanning abilities, the SPT 1700-
2D enables law enforcement officers to scan vehicle registration
or drivers’ licenses to gather information immediately. Trade
show and conference staff have the ability to process attendee
information in real time. And transportation and logistics
professionals can now scan bills of lading and other documents
encoded with PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes, reducing
paperwork handling at the loading dock.
Detailed attention to ergonomics and sleekly rounded edges
provide a secure fit in the hand. At 7 in./17.8 cm high the SPT
1700 easily slips into a pocket. Weighing just 10.3 oz./288 gm,
this powerful productivity tool is a perfect fit for mobile workers.
The scan engine in the SPT 1700 family is the SE 900 from
Symbol Technologies. This state-of-the-art scan engine, the
smallest, lightest and brightness available today delivers premi-
um performance even at ranges of up to 30 in./76.2 cm. The
SPT 1700-2D houses the SE 900HS high-performance scan
engine, optimized for PDF417.
Tackle Tough Environments
Tough enough for use in manufacturing and industrial environ-
ments, the ruggedized housing withstands drops of up to 4 ft./
1.2 m to concrete. Tested to IP54 standards for protection
against rain and dust, these computers can be used outdoors on
loading docks and yards and, because they use a 650 nm laser
diode, you will still see the scan beam – even in bright sunlight!
A high-contrast, anti-reflective liquid crystal display makes
data easy to read in low light or outdoors. A rechargeable
lithium-ion battery and optional single- and multi-slot cradle
configurations assure flexible convenience and strong performance
no matter how intensive the task.
Tailor Solutions with Ease
Using the Palm platform, programmers can build solutions
from numerous standard development environments. A stan-
dard 2 MB of RAM expands up to 8 MB for large data or
program storage demands. Flash ROM expands from 2 MB to
4 MB. Developers can use standard Palm OS
™
development
tools to write custom applications quickly and inexpensively.
The development tool kit includes Symbol Application Program
Interfaces (API) that control the scanner, enable local area
network communications, and manipulate data input and
