Overview of the PTC-960RL
4
The Telxon PTC-960RL is a compact, battery-
powered, hand-held computer used to collect, store,
and transmit data. It has a built-in laser scanner and
may contain a spread spectrum radio.
The PTC-960RL automates your data collection
procedures and is custom programmed to efficiently
handle your organization’s unique data collection jobs.
The PTC runs an application program specially
designed to collect data for your organization. This
program leads you through the application with a
series of display messages, prompts, and beeps.
Messages tell you when you make an error and
provide information on the application 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-960RL is easy. You can
key in data through the keyboard or scan bar codes
with the internal laser scanner. Additionally, data can
be received through an optional internal DATASPAN
spread spectrum radio.
Through the keyboard
Entering data through the keyboard is similar to
operating a calculator. As you press the data keys, the
corresponding number or letter appears on the screen.
Pressing the ENTER key stores data in the PTC’s
memory.
