Getting acquainted with the unitGetting acquainted with the unit

The portable data collector is a versatile unit and has many excellent features. You will need to
spend some time learning about these features just as you would with a new car manual.

The unit consists of a four-line display for showing
prompts and input.

The keypad accepts data input and contains control
buttons.

The top of the unit had a port for connecting bar code
scanners.

The M5500 data collector has a laser attachment that
fits on the top of the unit instead of connecting via a
cord. This makes the unit a "ONE PIECE" scanner ­data collector.
