Introduction; Unpacking The Terminal - Symbol PDT 7200 Series Product Reference Manual

Getting Started

Introduction

The PDT 7200 is an advanced portable terminal that puts the processing power of a 486 PC
in the user's hand. The terminal incorporates touch screen technology, a graphical user
interface (GUI) and bar code scanning capability. With a 1/4 VGA-sized screen, the PDT 7200
supports two different input methods: touch input and virtual keypad input. The integrated
scanner adds bar code input capability, allowing one-dimensional and two-dimensional (with
®
the 2D scan engine) bar code reading. PDT 7200 models are also available with Spectrum24
RF wireless LAN technology.
®
The PDT 7200 uses a standard Windows CE operating environment. The recommended
application development tool is Visual C++ with CE Toolkit.
Symbol provides extensions for non-PC peripherals (RF, scanning, power management, etc.)
and C-language APIs. To assist in downloading files to the PDT 7200 terminal, Symbol
provides the Windows-based Terminal Configuration Manager (TCM) that allows the user
to create a script listing the files to include in a hex image, build the hex image, and transfer
the hex image to the terminal.

Unpacking the Terminal

Carefully remove all protective material from around the terminal and save the shipping
container for later storage and shipping.
Verify that you received all equipment listed on the packing slip and inspect the equipment
for damage. If you find any damaged or missing items, contact the Symbol Support Center
immediately.
