Features of the TDS Recon 400x PDA Long battery life The Recon's rechargeable NiMH PowerBoot module provides 3,800 mAh of power, enough to give you at least 15 hours of continuous typical use—more than a full day's work. The optional AA PowerBoot Module uses two AA batteries (alkaline or lithium) to keep your Recon running for up to 16 hours. It's perfect as a backup, or in areas where recharging isn't possible. Ultra rugged The Recon can handle the toughest field conditions. It meets MIL-STD-810F standards for drops, vibration and temperature extremes, and it has an IP67 rating—meaning it's impervious to dust and water immersion. Testing has shown that you can submerge the Recon one meter deep in water for up to 30 minutes—and the Recon will keep running. Wireless Communication The TDS Recon 400X has built-in Bluetooth and 802.11g wireless communication capabilities. In addition, there are two CompactFlash slots to add memory cards or other CF devices, such as GPS. Capable Processing Runs Windows Mobile 5.0 (Premium Edition), on a 400 MHz XScale processor, a color display with front light, 64 MB of RAM and 256 MB of nonvolatile Flash storage to protect data from resets or power loss.

Special RAM mount for TDS Recon can attach to pole or tripod, and can be dash or windscreen mounted as well.
