Using the Portable Data Terminal

tap the touch screen. There are no double-clicks on the Portable Data Terminal unit as all
actions are accomplished by a single tap. The stylus is stored in a silo on the back of the
Portable Data Terminal.
Please refer to the Symbol Portable Data Terminal Series Quick Reference Guide for
