1. Preface
The 8300 series are rugged, versatile, high performance data terminals designed for
all-day, everyday use. It is powered by a Li-ion rechargeable battery with working time
longer than 100 hours. It is supported by a rich set of development tools, including a
Windows-based application generator, “C” and “Basic” compilers. With its integrated
Laser/CCD barcode scanning unit and optional RF module, the 8300 series is ideal for
both batch and real time applications such as inventory control, shop floor
management, warehousing and distribution operations.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
