Ranger

Ranger –
Ultra-rugged for all environments

The next generation Ranger™ adds versatility and more features to the pioneering original and its already outstanding performance. The next generation Ranger is now available in two models, the economical 300X and the powerful 500X. With two new CompactFlash slots (CF) and a Secure Data (SD) slot you increase data storage and add multiple accessories such as GPS, GPRS, RFID readers and other CF devices. Using the new SD slot lets you add data storage without sacrificing a CF slot.

The Ranger provides you with everything you need from a handheld data collector and features an easy-to-read display for all kinds of lighting conditions, even direct sunlight. The waterproof Ranger combines military-grade durability with Windows Mobile 5.0 software and up to 512 MB of Flash ® memory. The Ranger can quickly process even the most graphic-intensive applications and delivers that performance in the most challenging work environments. It handles extreme heat, up to 60° and extreme cold, down to -30°.

Not just a pretty face, the Ranger meets or exceeds the 810F military and IP67 standards for drops, vibration, altitude, dust, corrosion and water immersion. The construction makes it light weight, yet rugged and the exterior design provides a great grip in any weather. Ergonomic navigation, alpha and numeric keypads make it easy to operate even when wearing gloves. This combined with up to 30 hours of continuous operation makes the Ranger the ultimate choice for tough outdoors conditions.

Everything about the Ranger is designed to make it tough on the job — and easy on you.
