Handle
The handle attached to the PTC’s body allows
you to hold the PTC and aim the built-in scanner

The handle also contains the PTC-960XRF’s
battery pack.

Keyboard
The standard keyboard on the PTC-960XRF has
forty-five keys. Some models may be equipped
with an optional 24-key or 35-key keyboard. All
keyboards have two different types of keys: data
keys and function keys.
Data keys are the letter and number keys, A-Z
and 0-9. You use them to type data into the PTC.
Function keys include the F1-F4, CLEAR,
ENTER/YES, and SEND keys. These keys may
have different labels on your PTC. They are used
to perform a special procedure or function. For
example, your application may use the SEND
function key to transmit the PTC’s data to the
host computer.
