Next-generation wearable scanner delivers maximum functionality in a minimal footprint

The tiny RS409 Ring Scanner from Symbol Technologies offers the ideal blend of form and function, allowing unparalleled freedom of movement in scanning, picking, and sorting applications. Part of the WT4000 Series Wearable System, this lightweight device delivers hands-free ergonomic comfort, the latest in scanning technology, and the rugged design to endure everyday use indoors and outdoors. The RS409 can scan near or far, can be worn directly on the finger or over a gloved hand, and is ideal for a wide range of applications — from workers picking product in a warehouse or processing deliveries in a postal facility, to hospitality workers scanning lift tickets on a ski slope.

Superior scanning performance

When it comes to scanning, the lightweight RS409 offers performance and reliability you can count on. The device delivers accurate reading of even poorly printed and damaged bar codes on the first scan. Its highly advanced retro-collective optical design provides an extremely wide working range — from one inch to over four feet — with rapid reading regardless of lighting conditions or bar code symbology. And the scanner's low power consumption ensures more-than-ample battery power for a full shift.

Rugged design for reliable every day use

The rugged design offers improved impact protection for reliable operation in the roughest environments. The scan engine is better isolated and protected from the routine impacts and shocks associated with everyday drops and bumps. Fragile silicon mirrors have been replaced with a frictionless Liquid Polymer scan element that won't wear out. The trigger is built to last, rated for over one million actuations. And the new housing offers improved abrasion resistance in the most vulnerable spots.
