CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
The Trimble Ranger 3 handheld is available in three configuration options:
• Handheld with an internal ORION ME transceiver and built in GPS, WiFi, camera, flashlight and bar code scanner
• Handheld with an internal ORION CE receiver and built in GPS, WiFi, camera, flashlight and bar code scanner
• Handheld for manual reads only (no radio) with built in GPS and WiFi
Config 1: Handheld back view with internal
ORION ME transceiver
Config 2: Handheld back view with internal
ORION CE receiver
Config 3: Back of handheld with
no radio
The three configurations are similar but have distinguishing characteristics. A label on the back, at the top below the camera,
indicates if the handheld has an internal ORION ME transceiver (Config 1) or an internal ORION CE receiver (Config 2). FCC
information is imprinted inside the battery compartment.
A manual read handheld without a radio has no label, no FCC information and no antenna (Config 3).
OTE:N See "Connecting an External Mobile Transceiver or Receiver" onpage78 for instructions on how to set up a single
handheld to read both ORION Migratable and Classic endpoints.
