C61 Keypad Mobile Computer with Three Keypad Layouts

4-inch 800*480 display, 6700 mAh removable main battery, 1.8 m / 5.9 ft. drops to concrete.

Enter a lot number, arrow through a pick list, and press either side scan key without lifting a thumb to the display: the C61 puts 27, 37, or 47 physical keys under a 4-inch panel. Two configurations share one Android 11/13 image, so a barcode-only fleet and a UHF fleet stay on a single software build. The imagers come from Zebra and Honeywell, the UHF engine is based on Impinj E Series chips, and the octa-core processor runs at 2.0 GHz.

Overview

The C61 is a rugged handheld for people who key in as much data as they scan. A 4-inch 800*480 display sits above a physical keypad ordered as 27, 37, or 47 keys, the octa-core processor runs at 2.0 GHz, and memory is offered as 3 GB + 32 GB, 4 GB + 64 GB, or 6 GB + 64 GB. The multi-touch panel takes gloves and wet hands, so the display stays usable for the steps where the keypad is not the faster route.

Power is the second reason a unit finishes the shift. The 6700 mAh main battery lifts out at the latch, a 100 mAh backup battery inside the body supports battery hot swap so the session survives the change, and QC3.0 brings a dead battery back in 3.5 hours with the standard adaptor and USB cable. A separate handle carrying its own 5200 mAh battery is available when a shift runs longer than the main battery covers.

The data capture parts come from named suppliers: 2D imagers from Zebra and Honeywell, a UHF engine based on Impinj E Series chips behind a 4 dBi circular polarized antenna, and an NFC radio reading at 13.56 MHz. Android 11/13 arrives with GMS, FOTA, Zero-Touch, Soti MobiControl, and SafeUEM, and the CedaGlo Software Development Kit targets Java in Eclipse or Android Studio.

Accessory compatibility — both configurations take the separate handle with one button, the handle with a 5200 mAh battery, the wrist strap, and the charging cradle. The UHF back clip and handle shown in the C61 UHF photo are ordered from the accessory list and do not ship with the terminal itself; the back clip communicates with the terminal through the Pin Connector. See details in the Accessory Guide.

Every value in this table matches the full Specifications section below.

A Closer Look at the Hardware

C61 back panel showing the NFC area, rear camera, Pin Connector, and battery latch

Back panelThe main battery releases at the sliding latch in the middle of the back. Above it sit the Pin Connector that the UHF back clip mates to, the rear camera with its flash, and the marked NFC area.

C61 left and right sides, each carrying a yellow SCAN key

Side keysA yellow SCAN key sits on each side, so left- and right-handed users reach the same control without changing grip. Two volume keys and one user-defined key share the same edges.

Top and bottomThe scan window and the camera face out of the top edge, clear of the grip. The gold extended thimble contacts run across the bottom edge, so a unit takes power from the cradle without a cable being plugged in.

C61 27 key keypad, numeric block with arrow pad

27 keysA numeric block with an arrow pad, CLR, TAB, BKSP, and four function keys. Order this layout when operators enter quantities, item numbers, and bin codes and little else.

C61 37 key keypad with letters printed beside the numeric keys

37 keysThe same numeric block with letters printed alongside it and eight function keys across two rows. Order this layout when codes mix letters and digits but full words are rare.

C61 47 key keypad with a full alphabetic block below the numeric row

47 keysA full alphabetic block sits under the numeric row, with Ctrl, Shift, and a tall Enter key. Order this layout when operators type names, notes, or any free-text field.

Why Buy the C61 From CedaGlo

Engines Named, Not Described

Every imager, chip, and radio in this terminal is listed here by part number, so your team can open the supplier datasheet and check the numbers before a purchase order exists. Nothing here rests on our word alone.

Built to Your Order

Keypad count, memory tier, scan engine, and the UHF option are chosen at order time rather than picked off a shelf. Tell us how the work runs and we assemble the units that match, then ship them as one batch.

Try a Unit First

See one work a full shift on your own tags, your own labels, and your own network before you commit to a fleet. If the keypad layout turns out wrong for the job, change it while it still costs nothing.

Support Past the First Year

Batteries, cradles, handles, and straps stay orderable as separate line items, and the terms that matter to procurement come to you in writing on the order rather than as a promise printed on a web page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far can the C61 UHF read a tag?

Up to 30m with an Alien H3 Anti-Metal tag measuring 130 x 42mm, 27m with an Impinj MR6 tag measuring 70 x 15mm, and 26m with an Impinj M750 tag of the same size. Ranges are measured in the open outdoors and low interference environment, and they are affected by tags and environment. The fastest read rate is 1300+ tags/sec, measured in a laboratory low interference environment.

Which of the two configurations should I order?

Order the C61 when the work is barcode-driven receiving, put-away, and keyed counts. Order the C61 UHF when the same operators also need tag-level cycle counts, because that configuration adds a UHF engine based on Impinj E Series chips working at 865-868 MHz, 920-925 MHz, or 902-928 MHz behind a 4 dBi circular polarized antenna. Both configurations carry the same display, keypad choices, main battery, and Android 11/13 build.

Which scan engines and radios are inside?

The 2D imager is an optional function and can be a Zebra SE4710, SE55, SE4750SR, SE4750MR, SE4750DP, or SE4850, a Honeywell N6603 or N6703, or a CM60. The UHF engine is based on Impinj E Series chips and supports Impinj Gen2X. NFC works at 13.56 MHz and covers ISO14443A/B, ISO15693, NFC-IP1, and NFC-IP2, reading M1 cards, CPU cards, and NFC tags at 2-4 cm.

How long can I keep this model in service?

The C61 runs Android 11/13 with GMS and 90-day security updates, and it supports FOTA, Zero-Touch, Soti MobiControl, and SafeUEM, so the software side stays manageable from the console your team already runs. Spare part availability, warranty length, and the return process are confirmed in writing on your order rather than promised on this page.

How rugged is the C61?

The configuration sheet rates the body for multiple 1.8 m / 5.9 ft. drops to the concrete, at least 20 times, across the operating temperature range, and for 1000 falls at 0.5 m / 1.64 ft. at room temperature. Sealing is IP65 per IEC sealing specifications. The operating range runs from minus 20 to 50 degrees Celsius, and the cold storage model starts at minus 30 degrees Celsius. Humidity is rated 5% RH to 95% RH, non condensing.

How do I keep a fleet of C61 units running?

The 6700 mAh main battery is removable, and a 100 mAh backup battery inside the body supports battery hot swap, so a unit holds its session while the main battery is swapped. Charging takes 3.5 hours with the standard adaptor and USB cable. Spare batteries, charging cradles, handles, and wrist straps are quoted alongside the terminals so a site can stock its own shelf.

Put a C61 in a Picker's Hand

The 27-, 37-, and 47-key layouts come out of one body, and the C61 and C61 UHF run one Android 11/13 image. That means a barcode fleet and a UHF fleet share a single build for IT to maintain. Send us your tag type, label sizes, and WLAN security mode, and we will set one up to match.
