This configuration includes: - installing a technical keyboard suited to scanning - Setting up DataWedge to automatically send the **Enter** key after each scan - Creating a quick access to the web application **Shippingbo PDA**. ➡️ The goal is to obtain a terminal that is immediately operational for logistics operations (receiving, picking, shipping). ### 4. Activation and configuration #### 4.1 Initializing the PDA ![](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-20-2026-03-00-04-9943-PM.png?width=276&height=245&name=image-png-Feb-20-2026-03-00-04-9943-PM.png)   - Insert the battery and turn on the device. - Select **French (France)** then **Start**. - Enable Wi-Fi (updates may start). - Skip all Google setup steps. - At the question *Protect your device* → **Not now**. 👉 For an MC33 PDA, go directly to the step **4.3** about DataWedge.     #### 4.2 Installing the keyboards (optional) - Contact the Shippingbo Customer Care team [here](https://support.shippingbo.com/?hsLang=fr) for an optimal setup of the virtual keyboard on your PDA.     #### 4.3 Scan settings (DataWedge) 1. Open the app **DataWedge** → **Profile 0**. 2. In **Key output**: - Enable ***Keystroke event***. - Check ***Send Enter as string***. 1. In **Basic data formatting**: - Check ***Send Enter key***.     #### 4.4 Accessing the PDA application 1. Open a browser and go to: 👉 **app.shippingbo.com/pda** 2. Scan the QR code to save the password. 3. Browser menu (⋮) → **Add to home screen**. 4. Place the shortcut on the main page.     ### 5. Example of practical use A warehouse receives a new PDA for a receiving operator. After configuration: the operator scans a product, validation happens automatically thanks to the sending of the **Enter key**, and the quick access to the application makes it possible to start receiving immediately. ➡️ Putting the PDA into service takes just a few minutes before it is operational.   **⚒️ Recommendation:** Before fully using the feature described in this tutorial, we strongly recommend running a test phase with your own settings to check that the result matches your expectations.
