CASIO DT-970 Mobile Computer

Powerful performance with an ergonomic design

The handheld DT-970 is a real powerhouse, as it only needs two alkaline batteries (AA) for approximately 200 hours of operating time. The device is able to withstand being dropped onto concrete from heights of up to two metres, meaning it is protected from the impacts, knocks and drops from height that typically occur in everyday work situations. Thanks to the dust and splash protection in accordance with IP67, the device can be used in environments where many other devices would malfunction within a short amount of time. The robust handheld device is impressive, not at least because of its ergonomic design. Depending on the type of application, terminals can be selected with a straight or angled scanner head.

The Device at a Glance

Up to 200 working hours 2m drop resistance and IP67 Light and highly ergonomic (Human-centred Design) Bluetooth® HID support

Human-centred Design – ergonomic, relaxed, intuitive

When it came to designing the DT-970, it was clear from the very beginning that the focus lay on people: The device is very comfortable to hold and has been optimised for effortless one-handed operation. The convenient balance point of the DT-970 allows the device to be held comfortably. The sophisticated design and the nonslip surface allow a relaxed and secure grip, meaning that the movements required to perform are easy to produce.

Robust, reliable and ready to use at any time

The specifications of the DT-970 enable the device to be used easily at any location where no complex infrastructure is available. Potential applications include compiling inventories, preparing orders and checking incoming goods. In such instances, no Wi-Fi network or charging cradle infrastructure is required. Two AA alkaline batteries are all that is needed to use the device.

Drop resistant, waterproof, dustproof

The device is able to withstand being dropped onto concrete from heights of up to two metres, meaning it is protected from the impacts, knocks and drops from heights that typically occur on a day-to-day basis while performing heavy-duty work. Thanks to the dust and splash protection in accordance with IP67, the device can be used in environments where many other devices would malfunction within a short time. The device can be used within a large temperature range, from -20 to +50°C, allowing outdoor use all year round or applications in cold storage locations.

Pure power for operating periods of up to 200 hours

Thanks to a sophisticated power management system, the DT-970 is ideally suited for long-term use. Two alkaline batteries (AA) are sufficient for the device to achieve an operating period of up to 200 hours. In addition to the widely available and simple-to-replace AA batteries, the device can also be operated using rechargeable NiMH batteries.

The perfect scanning angle for each application

Two models are available, each of which is characterised by a different scanning angle. As a result, the ideal device can be selected to match the intended application spectrum. In addition, the scanner features a configurable laser-beam width, ensuring scans are performed quickly and with a minimum degree of error even while scanning barcodes that are positioned close together.

Scanning data into running applications

The DT-970 is equipped with Bluetooth® HID – for fast and simple data transfers between the DT-970 and tablets or PCs. This functionality opens up many interesting potential applications, especially when it comes to simple data-capture processes. For example, the DT-970 can be deployed as an externally connected scanner using Bluetooth® or USB connection, allowing the operator to scan data into standard applications that are already running.
