Warehouses, retailers and manufacturers face unrelenting pressure to deliver more — and to do it faster and more accurately. Rise to meet the challenge with the DS3600-KD Ultra-Rugged Scanner with Keypad and Color Display. Built for your toughest environments, the DS3600-KD is virtually indestructible, including an enhanced 10 ft./3 m drop spec to concrete. The scanner reads barcodes in any condition, whether they’re in hand or as far as 7 ft./2.1 m away. Workers can key in data, such as adding quantity and location, with the ergonomic keypad and color display. Pre-built applications offer the same ‘point and shoot’ simplicity of a scanner and enable workers to complete picking, putaway and inventory tasks with amazing efficiency and accuracy. And DataCapture DNA, Zebra’s exclusive software ecosystem, takes scanner performance far beyond the basics — simplifying every stage of the scanning experience over the life of your device.
Zebra ultra-rugged scanners earned their name for a reason — you won’t find a tougher family of scanners. The DS3600-KD has the highest drop, tumble and sealing specifications in its class. It can survive 10 ft./3 m drops to concrete and 7,500 tumbles. With dual IP65/IP68 sealing, the DS3600-KD is dust proof, can handle the force of jetting water and be fully submerged in water. Built to withstand extreme heat, cold and humidity, the DS3600-KD can be used anywhere — indoor, outdoor and even in the freezer.1
Workers can capture virtually any 1D or 2D barcode as fast as they can pull the trigger, from as far as 7 ft./2.1 m away. Powered by Zebra’s exclusive PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology and the highest sensor resolution in its class, the DS3600-KD instantly captures the most problematic barcodes — including barcodes that are dirty, damaged, poorly printed and under shrinkwrap.
Make picking, inventory and point of sale tasks more efficient with the keypad and color display. The ergonomic backlit keypad is well designed for one-handed operation. The color display provides a more intuitive, modern experience and the display brightness automatically adjusts for easy viewing in any lighting condition.
The DS3600-KD takes the complexity out of app development and integration. Start using our pre-built applications on day one — including the ability to add quantity and/or location data to any scanned barcode, confirm that the contents inside a container match the outer label, and even add location data during inventory counts while roaming away from the host. There’s virtually no learning curve for workers — if they can use a scanner, they can use the pre-built applications. And the ability for future customization can meet specific application needs.2

The DS3600-KD makes it easy to take high quality photos for documentation. With Image Viewer, workers can quickly check an image before sending it to the host. Zebra’s Intelligent Document Capture automatically de-skews and brightens document images. And support for multiple OCR fonts enables fast, easy data transfer.
With Label Parse+, the DS3600-KD can instantly capture and parse GS1 label barcode data on items, enabling workers to easily capture a wealth of data, including expiration dates and lot number/manufacturing location.
With Multi-Code Data Formatting (MDF), the DS3600-KD can capture multiple barcodes with a single scan and transmit only the barcodes you need, in the order your application expects.
Workers can easily select and capture an individual barcode from any pick list.
Mix and match the feedback modes that best fit your environment — vibration, wraparound LEDs that are easy to see from any position, a beep tone and Zebra’s Direct Decode Indicator that projects illumination on the captured barcode.
Since scanner settings are stored in the cradle base, simply pair the DS3600-KD to a different base to automatically configure it for a new host application. For example, you can take a scanner from the forklift and use it for shipping without manually changing settings.
The DS3600-KD supports more than 60,000 scans on a single charge — that’s over 16 hours of non-stop scanning. The smart PowerPrecision+ battery provides comprehensive health information, so you can easily spot and replace aging batteries.
The color display always shows the battery gauge and Bluetooth status, making it easy to monitor battery power and connectivity throughout a shift.
The DS3600-KD is the only scanner in its class to offer a cradle with IP65 sealing. Its industrial charging contacts withstand 250,000 insertions. And Zebra’s exclusive Connect+ Contact Technology assures reliable, corrosion-free charging over the life of the scanner.
With Virtual Tether, you won’t have to worry about a customer accidentally taking a scanner from self-checkout or a warehouse worker leaving a scanner behind on a pallet. Both the scanner and cradle will alert users when a scanner is taken beyond its Bluetooth range or left out of the cradle for a predefined length of time.
Zebra’s exclusive Wi-Fi Friendly Mode eliminates the wireless interference that Bluetooth devices can create in your Wi-Fi environment.
Zebra’s Network Connect for Automation delivers a seamless connection between DS3600-KD scanners and a manufacturer’s Industrial Ethernet network without the need for third party conversion equipment.
Only from Zebra, ScanSpeed Analytics provides detailed metrics on every barcode captured — enabling you to identify poor performing barcodes that slow down your operations.
With 123Scan, you can easily create configuration barcodes to program scanners. If your imagers are in multiple locations across the country or around the world, with Scanner Management Service (SMS), you can configure and update the firmware for any DS3600-KD device that is plugged into the host — no depot staging or user action is required.
The logging agent’s Remote Diagnostics capabilities automate the recording of scanner asset information, health and statistics, configuration settings and barcode data — giving you the information needed for event verification, blockchain traceability, pilot site ROI generation, troubleshooting and predictive fleet-wide trend analysis.
