The Only Handheld You Need in the Field

High performance
The Recon features the high-performance 200 MHz or 400 MHz XScale processor, a color display with front light, 64 MB of RAM and 64 or 128 MB of nonvolatile Flash storage to protect data from resets or power loss.

Ultra Rugged
The Recon can handle the toughest field conditions. It meets MIL-STD-810F standards for drops, vibration and temperature extremes, and it has an IP67 rating—meaning it's impervious to dust and water immersion.

Expansion capabilities
The Recon can expand with your needs. It has two CompactFlash slots so you can add memory or optional peripheral devices. You can add Bluetooth or LAN—or almost anything else you need in the field. Adding an Extended CF-Cap to your Recon lets you even more capabilities, such as GPS.

Long battery life
The Recon's rechargeable NiMH PowerBoot module provides 3,800 mAh of power, enough to give you at least 15 hours of continuous typical use—more than a full day's work. The optional AA PowerBoot Module uses two AA batteries (alkaline or lithium) to keep your Recon running for up to 16 hours. It's perfect as a backup or in areas where recharging isn't possible.

Windows Mobile
The Recon runs Windows Mobile 2003 software for Pocket PCs, so you'll have the applications you use most—including a calendar, e-mail, and Pocket versions of Word and Excel.

Water Resistant
The Recon is completely sealed to keep running in the wettest situations. Testing has shown that you can submerge the Recon one meter deep in water for up to 30 minutes—and the Recon will keep running.
