Backed by a legacy of being the world's #1 linear imager with over 1.5 million units sold globally, the new 3800g is the first 3800 series product to be powered by Hand Held Products' exclusive Adaptus™ Imaging Technology 5.0, providing world-class performance on linear bar codes.


Key benefits of the new 3800g series include:
- Ease of use - improved depth of field, faster barcode reading and a higher tolerance to motion all add up to an improved user experience
- Improved comfort - new ergonomic design reduces user fatigue and enhances productivity
- Market-leading durability and performance - no internal moving parts ensures years of worry-free service, while providing the same high reading speed as laser devices
- New trendy design - updated look stands out boldly from other scanning devices
"The 3800 series of linear imagers has been battle-tested by our customers for nearly a decade - and most of those initial devices remain in the field," said John Izzo, Product Manager, Linear Products for Hand Held Products. "This next generation - the 3800g - has been designed and engineered to meet that same level of device durability and reliability, while delivering even better scanning performance in a more comfortable design. This all adds up to unmatched value for the customer."

The new imager is available in EMEA now, and will be available worldwide as of fall 2006. The 3800g comes with all popular connectivity interfaces on-board and is backed by a 5-year warranty. More information is available by visiting www.handheld.com/3800g
