Introducing the PA600

The PA600 Phone Edition (PE) is designed for users who need a 
compact and durable PDA for data collection in real time transac-
tions.
The PA600 is a rugged, compact and lightweight handheld com-
puter with a Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system, an integrated 
laser bar code scanner, cell phone functionality, color LCD touch-
screen, keypad and wireless communication capability. It provides 
a standard Windows based environment for customization and 
operation.
To reduce total cost of ownership, the PA600 is sealed to meet IP64 
standards and has undergone multiple drop tests to prevent down-
time.
Thanks for choosing the PA600 PE.
