of the PTC-860
The Telxon PTC-860 is a battery-powered hand-held computer
used to collect, store, and transmit data.
The PTC-860 automates your data collection procedures and is
custom programmed to efficiently handle your organization’s
unique data collection jobs. Options for scanning bar codes and
printing are also available.
Because the PTC-860 is custom programmed for each
organization, this manual does not include the specific
operating instructions for your organization’s unique PTC
data collection program. Operating instructions and training
are available from your organization.
The PTC’s program leads you through the data collection
procedure with a series of display messages, prompts, and
beeps. Messages tell you when you make an error and provide
information on the program or the PTC’s status. Prompts and
beeps tell you when to enter data, what type of data to enter,
and when you complete certain operations.

Entering data
Entering data into the PTC-860 is easy. You can key in data
through the PTC’s keyboard, scan bar-code labels with a
bar-code reader, or have another device transmit data to the
PTC.
