TECHNICAL & COMMERCIAL FAQS

M3 UHF Gun Sled Buyer & Engineering FAQs

Which M3 Mobile terminals fit onto this UHF RFID Gun Sled?

M3 supplies precision pogo pin mounting adapters tailored to the SL20 / SL20+ and SM20 / SM20+ enterprise touch computers.

Can we still scan standard 1D and 2D barcodes while the terminal is docked in the UHF sled?

Yes, the sled sits beneath the terminal's top scan window, allowing instant switching between bulk UHF RFID reading and pinpoint 2D barcode scanning.

Does the sled drain the mobile computer's battery?

No, the M3 UHF Gun Sled carries its own independent rechargeable Li-Ion battery inside the pistol handle.
