The devices are built with a modular design that can be configured to meet the specific needs of every end user. Starting with the most basic model, added functionality can be configured so that customers are only paying for necessary functions. The M305 features an ergonomic pistol grip, designed for fatigue-free all-day scanning.
Both models utilise the M3 Series board-level ruggedisation technique to provide a lightweight, durable form factor that is sealed to IP65 and certified to withstand multiple 6ft (2m) drops to concrete. The new M3 Series models include a range of features and accessories, including Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, an optional radio-frequency-identification reader and standard 1D or 2D variable-range scanners.
