Introduction
Real mobile data collection, especially for time and production data collection, requires a pocket-
size device with high functionalities. These demands are fulfilled by Datafox Timeboy. Due to its
small size and slim design, it fits into any pocket.
The graphic display provides a good overview and facilitates entering also complex data at the de-
vice. With the optionally available laser scanner, data can be collected quick and secure via bar
code. The battery compartment is accessible from outside and contains 3 AAA batteries. Either
normal or rechargeable batteries can be used (battery type has to be specified during the order
process because of the charging circuit). Batteries are recharged at the docking station.
The low energy concept allows long run-times without recharging. Due to the solid and splash-proof
design, the devices can also be used under harsh conditions, e.g. at building sites.
Because of the reasonable price, whole departments can be equipped with devices. Thus, optimal
benefits can be achieved without straining you budget more than necessary.
