Chapter 1 - Introduction
1.1 Overview
Thank you for choosing the HT580 from Unitech Electronic Co. Ltd. This Portable Data
Collection Terminal is one of the most user-friendly handheld terminals on the market -
perfect for small retailers.
Developed under the C language, the HT580’s proprietary Operating System is capable of
running, and helping you develop, application programs specifically designed by you for
your own unique business.
Weighing only 150g (5.3 oz), the light weight of the HT580 is ideal for the long work days
typical in a retail environment. Despite it’s light weight, the HT580 is unusually robust -
capable of sustaining 1.2 meter (four foot) drops to a concrete floor.
With all this, we believe the HT580 will more than satisfy your own unique retail
requirements. The HT580 standard package includes the HT580 terminal, communication
cradle, adaptor, USB & RS232 Y cable, holster, and strap. Additionally, two alternative
types of communication/charging cradles - RS232 and Modem - are offered as options.
