/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Symbol Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:SBL), The
Enterprise Mobility Company(TM), today introduced the LS3008 rugged
handheld scanner designed for high-performance and reliability in
healthcare, warehousing, manufacturing and back-end retail
environments. Leveraging Symbol's innovative design knowledge and
boasting a small, ergonomic form factor, the LS3008 broadens
Symbol's rugged scanner portfolio to meet the needs of customers
and markets where cost and ergonomics are critical factors for
customers seeking real-time data capture capabilities. (Logo:

withstand the rigors of everyday use, including frequent drops to
concrete and exposure to water and dust, Symbol's new LS3008 rugged
scanner is sealed to IP53 standards and provides optimized
productivity while reducing the need for equipment repairs,
ultimately lowering the total cost of ownership. The LS3008 scanner
meets the varying demands of healthcare professionals seeking a
reliable bar code capture tool for bedside and patient management;
retailers needing a rugged, feature-rich scanner for back-end
operations; warehouse workers responsible for shipping and
receiving products in an efficient manner; and associates
performing light assembly within a manufacturing environment.
"Symbol's new LS3008 bar code scanner puts a rugged and highly
reliable scanner in reach of all customers regardless of size or
market," said Bob Sanders, vice president and general manager of
Symbol's advanced data capture division. "The LS3008 is an
easy-to-use, lightweight bar code scanner that requires minimal
training and enables users to scan objects comfortably in less than
optimum conditions." Providing customers with real-time access to
business-critical information to help improve decision-making
processes and streamline operations, the new LS3008 is equipped
with multi-line rastering scan pattern to eliminate the need for
exact aim and positioning. This feature enables customers to
quickly and accurately scan one-dimensional (1D) bar codes,
including those that are damaged, small or poorly printed, without
delay or the need to rescan. The LS3008 handheld scanner reduces
total-cost-of-ownership by enabling remote, network-based device
management to lower IT expenses and enable customization in large,
multi-scanner environments. Along with a scratch- resistant,
tempered glass window for high-quality scanning, the LS3008 also
offers single circuit-board construction eliminating the failure
points commonly found in competing scanners. To help customers
protect their investment and maintain peak performance, Symbol
Global Services offers Service from the Start Advance Exchange
Support for the LS3008. This multi-year service agreement provides
next-business-day delivery of a replacement device to help
organizations maximize uptime and productivity. Symbol's Service
from the Start Advance Exchange Support also includes Symbol's
unique Comprehensive Coverage, which extends normal wear and tear
to cover accidental damage to scan elements, exit windows and other
internal and external components at no extra charge -- virtually
eliminating unforeseen repair expenses. The Symbol LS3008 rugged
bar code scanner has a list price of $419 and is currently
available to order globally through Symbol partners. About Symbol
