            SYMBOL TECHNOLOGIES REPORTS UNAUDITED 2003
             FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS, PROVIDES UPDATE ON
                FINANCIAL GUIDANCE AND STATUS OF
                           RESTATEMENT


     HOLTSVILLE, N.Y., April 29, 2003 - Symbol Technologies,
Inc. (NYSE: SBL), a global leader in enterprise mobility
solutions, today announced its unaudited first-quarter results
for the period ending March 31, 2003.  These results do not
include any related impact of the Company's planned
restatement of its financial statements previously issued for
the years 1998 through 2002.
     Revenue, before the impact of restatement, for the first
quarter ended March 31, 2003, was $357.4 million, compared to
$301.3 million previously reported in the corresponding year-
earlier period, before the impact of restatement.  Net
earnings, before the impact of restatement, were $4.8 million,
or $0.02 diluted earnings per share, compared to $1.8 million,
or $0.01 diluted earnings per share, in the previously
reported corresponding year-earlier period, before the impact
of restatement.
     The announced first-quarter 2003 net earnings, before the
impact of restatement, included a pre-tax charge of $4.1
million associated with a restructuring of the Global Services
and Support organization and a pre-tax charge of $3.1 million
associated with a writedown of the Company's investment in
AirClic, Inc.  Excluding the effects of these restructuring
and impairment charges in order to show the Company's reported
results from ongoing operations, non-GAAP net earnings, before
the impact of restatement, were $9.7 million, or  $0.04
diluted earnings per share, compared to non-GAAP net earnings,
which exclude a special compensation charge, of $7.6 million,
or $0.03 diluted earnings per share, in the previously
reported first quarter of 2002, before the impact of
restatement.
     As previously reported, the Company has not filed its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2002, with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is in
the process of restating its financial statements. While the
Company believes it has made substantial progress in improving
controls in its operations and financial reporting, the
restatement is not yet complete.  Therefore, these reported
results are not in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, have not been
reviewed by the Company's auditors and will be impacted by the
restatement in that the restatement will have the effect of
rolling back, rolling forward or eliminating certain assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses that have been
inappropriately reflected in the reported results of the
Company.
     "Overall, we were pleased with Symbol's revenue of $357
million in 2003's first quarter even as we faced a continued
very difficult economy with still-slow IT investment and the
U.S. at war.  Although we saw balance sheet improvement, we're
not satisfied with earnings at four cents per share before
special charges," Richard Bravman, vice chairman and chief
executive officer, said.
     "We continue to see progress on the balance sheet and
succeeded in significantly reducing inventories and accounts
receivable. With ongoing positive cash flow in the quarter, we
improved our liquidity position to nearly $100 million in cash
on the balance sheet and $50 million in short-term bank debt,"
William Nuti, president and chief operating officer, said,
adding, "Our ability to increase year-over-year revenue under
difficult circumstances gives rise to a sense of cautious
optimism regarding our growth potential under improved
business conditions."

Financial guidance
     The Company reiterated that in 2003 it anticipates annual
revenue growth in a range of 15 to 20 percent with remaining
quarters improving off the first-quarter base of $357 million,
before the impact of restatement.  Due to greater than
anticipated expenses, the Company now expects 2003 earnings
per share in a range of 20 to 26 cents, before the impact of
restatement.  Excluding the effects of restructuring and
impairment charges, expected to be approximately $23 million
in fiscal 2003, the Company now expects non-GAAP 2003 earnings
per share from ongoing operations in a range of 27 to 33
cents, before the impact of restatement.  The Company had
previously expected non-GAAP earnings of 34 to 42 cents per
share, before special items.  Any forward-looking guidance is
subject to updates based on, among other factors, material
changes in the global economic outlook, geopolitical climate
and levels of corporate information technology investment.
The Company has limited visibility to these numbers and there
can be no assurances they will be achieved.

Status of investigations, restatement
     The previously reported SEC and Department of Justice
investigations are continuing, and the Company's internal
investigation, undertaken with the assistance of independent
legal counsel and independent auditing firms, is ongoing. The
Company has shared appropriate documentation and discussed
relevant issues with its auditors, who are reviewing them in
connection with the audit of fiscal 2002 results and the
restatement of previously issued financial statements.
     "The Symbol board and management team are firmly
committed to coming to proper closure on past financial
issues, addressing them aggressively and thoroughly to ensure
effective controls and processes are put in place to provide a
fully transparent view into our Company's performance so we
can capitalize on the value we are confident is inherent in
our business," Bravman said.
     While there can be no guarantee, the Company's goal is to
complete the restatement of its previously issued financial
statements, issue audited results for the year ended December
31, 2002, and file the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
with the SEC by June 30, 2003.
     Based upon work to date on the restatement, the Company
believes that the reported quarterly results released today
will be impacted; that impact will be disclosed in its
quarterly Form 10-Q filing with the SEC, which it expects to
file after the filing of the Form 10-K.
     The Company continues to expect that the restatement will
likely result in a net reduction of previously reported net
income and revenue in the two-year period of fiscal 1999 and
fiscal 2000 and a net increase in previously reported revenue
in the two-year period of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002, and
that the net amount of revenue previously recorded for fiscal
years 1999 and 2000 that will be reversed, or reversed and
restated, in later fiscal years or otherwise adjusted as a
result of a restatement will likely not exceed 10 percent of
the total revenue originally reported for those two years,
taken in aggregate. At this stage, the Company cannot estimate
the impact of the restatement on net income for  fiscal 2001
or fiscal 2002.  In addition, the Company now believes that
the restatement will also cover fiscal 1998, and the impact to
fiscal 1998 will be disclosed in the Form 10-K filing.
     With regard to the 2002 year-end balance sheet, the
Company now believes that the total impact on the Company's
shareholder equity, or net assets, will most likely be a
reduction of $50 million to $150 million.  Even with this
impact, the Company will have ended fiscal 2002 with
shareholder equity in excess of $1.0 billion.
     Any actual restatement may vary from the estimates
provided, may involve other issues and, as stated previously,
likely would affect comparisons between currently reported
amounts and amounts reported for previous periods.
