Symbol Technologies P360 Rugged Multi-Functional Scanner for Multi-Tasking in Extreme Environments

The Symbol P360 memory scanner breaks new ground in industrial bar code scanning. Equipped with memory, keypad, display and an award-winning ergonomic design, this hand-held scanner switches seamlessly from data entry to data management. Ideal for extreme environments: warehouse stores, builders' yards, and receiving and cross-dock applications, the economical Symbol P360 plays many roles. This scanner, sealed to IP54, stands up to conditions in extreme environments: dust, rain, heat and cold as well as 6 ft/1.8 m drops to concrete. Connected to a host, it is a corded, rugged hand-held scanner. In cordless mode, the multi-tasking Symbol P360 goes where other memory scanner can't ... where the data has to be managed and collected: onto the loading dock, into the warehouse or out into the yard for cycle counts, receiving, inventory checks and transfers.

Award-Winning Design

The Symbol P360 is comfortable to hold and easy to use. The futuristic "handle-forward" design was awarded a gold medal in the 1998 Industrial Design Excellence Awards (IDEA98) by Business Week magazine and the Industrial Design Society of America. The scanner's ergonomic contours fit the hand securely and help reduce fatigue, which is important in scan-intensive applications. The Symbol P360's 17-key numeric keypad and easy-to-read two-line by 20-character display are top-mounted for effortless access and visibility. The Symbol P360 weighs just 12 oz./336 gm. The unit is rugged and comfortable to use. Symbol built it to withstand multiple 6ft/1.8 m drops to concrete.

A Memory Option for Your Application

The standard 1 MB model provides ample storage for inventory counts, stock transfers and similar data management applications as well as sufficient memory for look-up files, which can be downloaded to the scanner. Support for look-up files is critical to certain real-time data capture and management applications, such as inventory checks and receiving. Ask about the 4 MB memory option.

The scanner's two-line display can show simple commands such as "Enter Quantity," or "Scan Item"; use the scroll key to view longer lists or menus.

Tailor Applications with Ease

Symbol Technologies teamed it with MCL-Designer, an easy-to-use Windows-based application development tool to ensure ease and flexibility are the hallmarks of the P360 memory scanner. Using MCL-Designer's intuitive graphical user interface, even non-programmers can create custom programs. Applications can be simulated and debugged before they are downloaded to the P360. The MCL interpreter comes preloaded in the P360's memory.

Flexible Host Interface

The Symbol P360's flexibility extends to the host interface. When you are ready to send or receive data, connect a cable to the P360, or place it in the optional communications cradle. Either way, the P360 interfaces via RS-232 or Symbol's Synapse "smart" cable to many hosts in many different configurations. Up to 12 cradles can be "daisy chained" to a single RS-232 port on the host.

Plenty of Power

The Symbol P360 comes with a high-capacity, 1100 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery that powers the unit for up to 12 hours even during scan-intensive applications. The Symbol P360 recharges its battery automatically whenever it is supplied with power either through the cable or cradle. A complete recharge takes less than four hours.
