What is the HDT 600 Terminal
The HDT 600 is a handheld terminal designed for field applications
where fast data acquisition is required.
Its ergonomic design is easy to hold and carry. Its unique shape fits
the hand, and the back strap provides extra grip. The Windows®
CE 3.0 operating system with touch screen and soft-keys provides
easy access to various applications.
The HDT 600 is equipped with a 3.6 inch color LCD screen with
LED front-light, viewable in all light conditions, including direct
sunlight. The touch sensitive screen enables signature capture as
well as easy selection from an on-screen menu.
A LASER beam barcode reader (optional) enables one-hand bar-
code reading on both vertical and horizontal labels. The barcode is
activated by one of four dedicated trigger keys, made for right or
left handed users.
The unit operates in all weather conditions and is protected against
hostile environment factors, such as impact, rain, vibrations and
electrostatic discharge.
An RS232 port serves for uploading and downloading data
between the HDT 600 and a PC via the HDT 600 Cradle. Connec-
tions for external power supply are also provided. The 1400mA
Lithium-Ion battery pack provides at least one shift of operation
(10-hour duty cycle for typical use) before charging is needed.
The HDT 600 uses the following methods of communication:
• Short distance: Each HDT 600 contains a Bluetooth™radio
module for short distance communication with peripheral
devices such as printers etc.
• Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) communication: An
optional Spread Spectrum 2.4GHz radio module provides cov-
erage within a local distribution hub.

• Wide Area Network (WAN) communication:
1. An optional General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) radio
module provides coverage within cellular infrastructure.
2. An optional private DataTAC™radio module provides
coverage within the private DataTAC network infrastruc-
ture.
3. An optional iDEN (Harmony) radio module provides
coverage within the private iDEN network infrastructure.
It is also possible to use GPRS and WLAN communication by
installing both radios within the HDT 600.

Battery Maintenance
The performance of the rechargeable battery delivered with your
HDT 600 depends on the way the battery is treated. Therefore, to
comply with the Motorola warranty for batteries and to assure high
performance and a long life for your Motorola rechargeable battery,
please read and follow the maintenance rules stated below.
Battery Storage
Do not store your battery where the temperatures will exceed 65°C
or fall below -20°C.
New Lithium-Ion batteries (i.e. batteries that have never been
charged before) may be stored for up to 3 months in well-venti-
lated, cool and dry areas without significant loss in lifespan.
Batteries which have already been charged and then stored for
more than 2 months should be recharged before use.
Extending Battery Life
A battery is an expendable part and may need replacing during the
life of the HDT 600. To ensure maximum service life of your HDT
