Page 21: Chapter 1 Getting Started
Chapter 1 Getting Started Introduction The Symbol DS3408 combines superior 1D and 2D omnidirectional bar code scanning and advanced ergonomics to provide the best value in a digital scanner. Whether in hand-held mode or presentation (hands-free) mode in a stand, the digital scanner ensures comfort and ease of use for extended periods of time.
Page 22: Unpacking
Configuration via 123Scan. Unpacking Remove the digital scanner from its packing and inspect it for damage. If the digital scanner was damaged in transit, contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support. See page xvii for contact information. KEEP THE PACKING. It is the approved shipping container; use this to return the equipment for servicing.
