Keypad There are two

keypad options with different overlays. The 243X ships with a keypad and an overlay that supports the type of application that you ordered.

Integrated I/O connector The 6-pin connector acts as a serial port or power supply. You can connect the 243X to a serial device with the serial adapter cable. You can also connect the 243X to the external power supply with the external power adapter cable.

Input device connector The 9-pin connector on the connector module allows you to connect an input device to the 243X. Depending on the type of connector module you choose, the terminal supports either non-decoded input devices or decoded input devices.

Docking connector The docking connector allows you to insert the 243X into the vehicle dock accessory.

Handstrap The elastic handstrap attaches to the back of the terminal to let you hold the terminal easily and securely for long periods of use.

Rechargeable battery pack and backup power source The 243X uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack as its main power source. The terminal has a backup power source that maintains the terminal’s status, memory, and real-time clock (for up to 15 minutes) when the battery pack is changed.

Internal Antenna (2435 only) The 2435 uses an internal antenna that supports RF communications.
