The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Zebra Technologies Corporation:

Under date of February 24, 1999, we reported on the consolidated balance sheets
of Zebra Technologies Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1998, as contained in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. Our report is based in part on
the report of other auditors. In connection with our audits of the
aforementioned consolidated financial statements, we also audited the related
financial statement schedule listed under Item 14. The financial statement
schedule is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on the financial statement schedule based on our
audits.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, such
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.

We consent to the incorporation by reference in the registration statements
(Nos. 33-4706, 33-72774, 333-59733 and 333-63009) on Form S-8 of Zebra
