Getting started with the
Follett Panther
Overview
The Follett Panther™ is a hand-held wireless device. It has a self-
contained application, Follett Remote, that allows you to collect barcode
scans offline for many circulation, inventory, and collection and patron
maintenance tasks.
If you have Destiny and a wireless network, the Panther's customized
browser communicates directly with Destiny, allowing you to perform
real-time transactions. When you are out of range of your wireless
network or when your Destiny server is not available, you can use
Follett Remote.
This document guides you through charging and setting up your
Panther, and communicating with your workstation or wireless network.
