The keypad can be changed later without replacing the device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbove the keypad is a 4.3-inch touchscreen protected by Corning Gorilla Glass III, which works with wet hands and gloves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eScan from arm's length or from across the warehouse\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ME74 is available with enterprise scan engines from Zebra and Honeywell, including the Zebra SE4770 and Honeywell HS7 for everyday 1D and 2D scanning.

When a battery does run low, staff can swap it without switching off.
