Exhibit 99.6

Customer Q&A

 

1. Why should I feel comfortable continuing to do business with Intermec during this interim period?

 

   

The entire organization is committed to the success of our customers, today and in the future. We have a long track record of providing our customers with the highest levels of attention and support, and this will not change.

 

   

To accelerate the pursuit of our strategic objectives, we can now leverage Honeywell’s capabilities and resources.

 

   

We remain dedicated to continuing to meet the needs of our customers with the personal touch and availability that they have come to expect from us.

 

2. Will there be any interruption to operations during the integration or after?

 

   

During this time, we will continue to operate as independent entities, so it’s business as usual. We remain dedicated to continuing to meet the needs of our customers with the personal touch and availability that you have come to expect from us.

 

   

We will, of course, keep you as informed as possible and update you with additional information as it becomes available.

 

3. What does this mean for the current contract/project I have with Intermec?

 

   

During this time, we will continue to operate as independent entities, so it’s business as usual. All current contracts remain in force.

 

4. What does this mean for the products you’ve sold us over the last few years? What assurances can you give us that they’ll continue to be available and/or supported after the transaction closes?

 

   

All warranties and service contracts will be honored.

 

   

The entire organization is committed to the success of our customers, today and in the future. We have a long track record of providing our customers with the highest levels of attention and support, and this will not change.

 

   

Any decisions with respect to specific product lines and overlaps, to the extent any exist, will be communicated at the appropriate time as they are made.

 

5. Will I still be serviced by the same Intermec representatives?

 

   

In the near term, and certainly until the transaction closes, there will be no changes to your day-to-day relationship with Intermec.

 

   

Your Intermec representatives will keep you as informed as possible, and update you with additional information as it becomes available.

 

6. I have been a long-term supplier/partner of Intermec, what happens now?

 

   

Intermec contracts and agreements continue to be in effect at this point.

 

   

As stated until the close it’s business as usual. Intermec depended on your performance before this announcement and it continues to need you as a critical partner to perform. We need you to continue to focus on your performance on commitments to Intermec going forward.

 

   

We will not speculate on how the supply chains of the integrated operations will look. What we would say is that your performance should be your focus.
