INTRODUCTION

The MS860 WiFi laser bar code scanner is one of the newest members of Unitech’s MS series. The MS860 incorporates the latest WiFi technology, making it ideal for real-time bar code data collection in warehouse, loading dock, inventory, back office, document tracking, retail environments - anywhere cables would restrict movement or limit access.

The incorporated 802.11b module allows the MS860 to be used within approximately 100 feet (30m) from an Access Point (AP) in an office environment, and up to 330 feet (100m) in an open environment. This gives users mobility and freedom to scan bulky and difficult to reach items.

The cradle of MS860 works as a battery charger for the scanner. When resting in the cradle, the scanner can reach a fully charged state in 4½ to 5 hours. When fully charged, the scanner can provide up to 16 hours scanning time. For long-term product storage, the scanner can be powered off by using the scanner’s push down on/off switch. Alter- natively, the scanner can remain powered but unused for up to 1 month before the batteries require recharging.

The MS860 offers checkout personnel the ability to scan bulky items without the need for heavy lifting by customers or checkout personnel, making for added convenience and safety. The MS860 is perfect for applications such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, shopping clubs, retailers, light warehouse, and manufacturing.
