Vocollect Battery Safety
Improper use of the battery may cause heat, fire, explosion, damage, or reduced battery capacity. Read
and follow the handling instructions for the battery before and during use.
The following are general cautions and guidelines only, and as such may not include every possible usage
scenario. The manufacturer will not be liable for actions taken or accidents caused by any use not
documented below.
Danger:
• Do not disassemble, open, drop (mechanical abuse), crush, bend, deform, puncture, or shred a
battery.
• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into a battery, immerse or
expose to water or other liquids, or expose to fire, excessive heat including soldering irons, or put
in a microwave oven.
• Only use a battery in the device for which it is specified.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard.
• Do not short-circuit the battery or allow metallic or conduction objects to touch any of the battery
contacts simultaneously.
• Replace a battery only with another battery that has been qualified for the product you are using.
Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
• In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with skin or eyes. If
contact is made, wash the affected area with large amounts of water and seek medical advice.
• Seek medical advice immediately if a battery is swallowed.
• If at any time you witness a battery starting to balloon, swell up, smoke, or show signs of getting
hot, discontinue charging process immediately and disconnect the battery. Observe it from a safe
place, preferably outside of any building or vehicle for approximately 15 minutes.
• Dispose used batteries promptly according to the local, state and/or federal regulations.
Requirements and options vary greatly in different countries and in different parts of the United
States. Many locations have facilities or companies set up for receipt of old batteries.

Cleaning Procedures for Vocollect Equipment
Vocollect products have a long service life if they are maintained properly. Proper care includes following
recommended cleaning practices and procedures.
While Vocollect equipment is manufactured and tested to be resistant to normal dirt and deposits from
the workplace environment, the build-up of residue can damage the equipment over time. Users may
begin to experience degraded product performance and diminished product life. For example:
•Dirt or corrosion that interferes with the proper seting of terminals in chargers may cause intermittent
charging and appear to be a battery problem.
• Wet Talkman®Connector (TCO) contacts that build up dirt, chemicals, and corrosion may cause
intermittent contact, static and recognition problems.
• Excessive dirt on a keypad membrane may contain a high concentration of chemicals that can cause
the membrane to weaken and tear.
When equipment is visibly retaining dirt from the workplace, Vocollect recommends that it be cleaned.
Cleaning Plastics
While Vocollect equipment is resistant to normal residue from the workplace environment, a long term build-up
of residue from the workplace may damage it and lead to degraded performance and diminished product life.
Caution: Use only a solution of 30% isopropyl alcohol and water to clean the hard plastics on
equipment. Other products have not been tested and may degrade the equipment.
Cleaning Hard Plastics
The hard plastics on headsets, devices, chargers, and batteries should be cleaned with a soft cloth that
is wet with a solution of 30% isopropyl alcohol and 70% water.
Use a soft brush to keep the pocket areas of chargers free of dust and debris that may interfere with the
seating of equipment or electrical contact.
Cleaning Foam and Pliable Plastics
Headset foam parts (ear pads and headband pads) as well as flexible bands and non-foam padding may
be cleaned with a mild soap and water. The pads should be washed carefully so as not to tear them or
detach them from mountings.
The parts should be air dried. Use of a concentrated heat source such as a hairdryer or clothes dryer is
not recommended.
Pads that are excessively dirty, such as headset windscreens should be replaced.
Cleaning Contacts
While Vocollect equipment is resistant to normal residue from the workplace environment, a long term build-up
of residue from the workplace may damage it and lead to degraded performance and diminished product life.
Caution: Vocollect recommends using only a solution of 30% isopropyl alcohol and water to cleaning
equipment. Other products have not been tested and may degrade the equipment.
Flat contact areas on the device, such as the Talkman Connector (TCO), or flat contacts on the battery
and charger should be cleaned with the recommended isopropyl alcohol solution.
Use a soft, lint-free cloth or premoistened alcohol wipe. Avoid using a cloth with long or thick fibers as
the fibers can attach to the connectors and cause intermittent contact.

Introduction | 17
Corrosion may be removed with a soft eraser (for example, a pencil eraser). The eraser must be in good
condition (soft, pliable, and not worn down to the mounting). A good test is to rub the eraser against
your skin. If it feels abrasive, do not use it, because it will damage the surface of the connectors.
You can also use a three-row toothbrush style, general cleaning brush with natural hog hair bristles to
gently brush away dirt on the contacts. A final alcohol wipe after this should ensure a clean contact.
Battery contacts must never be bent or manipulated.
Contacts that are extremely corroded, bent, or missing should be repaired or replaced by an authorized
Vocollect Service Center.

Introduction | 19
Chapter 2
Talkman Devices and Headsets
Vocollect Talkman®devices are wearable terminals used with Vocollect headsets to enable voice-directed
work. Operators listen to instructions from these devices to perform tasks such as warehouse order
picking and factory floor inspection, and then speak simple phrases to enter data.
All Talkman devices leave the operator's hands free to inspect items, pick products, drive vehicles, or
repair defects.
Talkman A500, T5-series, and T2-series devices
These device models are rugged terminals designed for industrial use. These devices attach to a customized
belt or shoulder harness equipped with a specially designed clip.
The Talkman A500 VMT (Vehicle Mounted Talkman) and T5 VMT are A500 and T5 devices with battery
adapters mounted to a warehouse vehicle, such as a forklift. After the device is mounted, the battery
adapter is placed in the battery area of the device and connected to the vehicle's power source.
Talkman T1
The Talkman T1 has been specifically designed for light-duty, light-industrial environments. Talkman
T1 device is a lighter, lower-cost alternative to the T2-series, T5-series and A500 devices. It is intended
for work in areas where you don't require an extremely rugged device. Talkman T1 devices fit into a
customized holster with belt clip.
Speech Recognition Headsets
A Vocollect speech recognition headset with an attached microphone allows the operator to hear the
device's instructions or questions. The operator talks to the device to request information and enters
data by responding to the device's prompts.
Using Vocollect Adaptive Speech Recognition™, the headsets account for changes in speaking patterns
over time and in different environments in order to improve voice recognition and system performance.
Product Use and Care
• Talkman devices are assembled under strict Vocollect manufacturing guidelines. Tampering with a
device in any manner will void published operating specifications and may void the product warranty.
• When the Talkman is not in use, it should be placed properly into a charger.
• Never remove the battery from a Talkman unless it has been properly powered off.
• Vocollect designed the Talkman to be worn on the right side of the body with the device's buttons on
the top (T5-series, T2-series, A500) or facing front (T1) and its connectors toward the operator’s back
(A500, T5-series, T2-series) or pointed up (T1).
• The Talkman T1 must be holstered with the holster opening facing up. Holstering with the opening
facing down or to the side places the unit at risk for dropping.
• Always use pads and windscreens with Vocollect headsets to protect the equipment and ensure
optimum speech recognition performance.
• Vocollect recommends changing headset windscreens every 90 days to ensure the best performance.
Caution: Use only a solution of 30% isopropyl alcohol and water to clean the hard plastics on
equipment. Other products have not been tested and may degrade the equipment.

Turning a Talkman Device On
Before you turn on a device, make sure a headset and charged battery are properly connected to it.
1. Press the Play/Pause button on the device.
The LED indicator first turns solid red while the processor reboots. It then flashes red and green,
turns solid, blinks red, then turns solid green (A500, T5-series and T2-series) or the LED indicator
turns solid green (T1).
2. The device says, "Current operator is operator name. Please keep quiet for a few seconds." The device
then starts a noise sample.
3. After a brief pause, it says, "Please wait." After another pause, the device begins asking questions or
providing instructions.
Turning a Talkman Device Off
Use a button control to properly power off the Talkman device. In some cases, the device turns off
automatically. In rare cases, a forced reset may be necessary. After the device is fully turned off, you
can reboot it.
•Powering Off by Using the Play/Pause Button
Press and hold the Play/Pause button until the LED indicator turns red. The device will store any
data that has not been transmitted. After a few seconds, the device says, "Powering off." The device
turns off, and the LED indicator light goes out..
Caution:
• Do not remove the battery until the LED indicator is off. If you remove the battery when the
device is on or sleeping, any data collected could be lost.
• You should not turn off the device if the LED indicator is blinking red (A500, T5-series and
T2-series), unless it has been blinking red for several minutes. If a device is turned off when
its LED indicator is blinking red, it may not be ready to use when it is turned back on.
•Powering Off Due to Inactivity
If the device's software detects no device activity for a specified length of time, it powers off
automatically.
•Powering Off Due to Low Battery Levels
If the device's software detects that the current battery level is critically low, it powers off
automatically.
•Booting a Device After Powering Off
If a device was properly powered off, it does the following operations after a battery is placed into the
device and the Play/Pause button is pressed:
• Performs a background noise sample
• Continues operation at the place in the task where you left off
• Transfers any templates to the host that had not been sent prior to powering off
Confidential: For informational use by Vocollect Resellers and customers only
22 | Vocollect Hardware Documentation
• Transfers any output data records to the host that had not been sent prior to powering off
•Transfers any lookup tables to the device that had not been received from the host prior to powering
off
•Forced Reset
This type of reset is invoked by removing the battery from the device without properly powering it
off first.
Caution: Perform a forced reset only as a last resort. If you reboot a device in this manner:
• the contents of its memory, including any data collected, will be lost
• the device starts over at the beginning of the task
• if you are in the process of retraining vocabulary, the device will send all vocabulary word
templates to the host computer when the device is turned back on. Do not do anything until
the templates have been sent to the host.
When the battery is replaced and the device is turned back on, it boots and attempts to load the
current task and operator. Once the task and operator have successfully loaded, the device behaves
identically to a one that has just had a new task or operator loaded.
Loading an Operator's Templates
You need a device with a charged battery, headset, and any other equipment (belt, bar code reader) you
are going to use. You must be within radio range. Make sure the device is on or sleeping. The LED
indicator should be either solid green or blinking green (A500, T5-series and T2-series) or solid green
(T1).
1. Press the Operator button.
The device says "Current operator is operator name. Select menu item."
2. Press the + button or — button until the device says, "Change operator."
3. Press the Operator button.
4. The device says, "Please wait" and retrieves a list of operators and teams. Wait for the device to say,
"Select team".
• If the device says "Current operator is (operator name). Change operator", skip to step 8.
5. Press the + button or — button to scroll through the list of operator teams until you hear the name
of a team to which you belong.
6. Press the operator button.
The device says, "Please wait" and retrieves a list of all operators who belong to the team that was
selected. The device then says, "Current operator is (operator name). Select new operator."
7. Press the + button or — button to scroll through the list of available operator names until you hear
your name.
• If you do not hear your name, press the yellow play/pause button to cancel this operation and start
over from step 2.
• When selecting a team in step 5, choose the "All Operators" team.
• Consult with your supervisor if you are not listed in the "All Operators" team.
8. Press the operator button.
The device says, "Loading operator" and loads your templates. Once it has loaded your templates,
the device says, "Current operator is (your operator name). Good night." The device then goes to sleep.
The next time you turn the device on, it will be ready to use.

Pairing the Socket Cordless Ring Scanner with a Talkman T5
During use, it is possible for the scanner to disconnect from the device if the communication link is
disrupted. When the scanner is setup so that the device initiates the connection, the device typically
recovers the connection automatically. When the scanner initiates the connection, it typically requires
the press of a button to activate and recover the connection..
The Bluetooth connection between the Socket®Cordless Ring Scanner (CRS) and a Talkman T5 is
managed through VoiceConsole. See VoiceConsole Help for details on the use of Bluetooth with Vocollect
Voice systems.
Note that Each CRS has a unique Bluetooth address that is clearly labeled on the underside of the
wrist-worn Bluetooth transmitter and battery pack. This address is needed to associate a CRS with a
T5.
Because a T5 will be explicitly associated with a specific CRS via VoiceConsole, Vocollect strongly
recommends clearly labeling the CRS wrist units to identify them with the specific T5 to which they are
paired. A clear identification and operational procedure for keeping specific scanners associated with
specific Talkman T-Series devices will be beneficial in the work environment.
Connecting the CRS to the Talkman T5 Device
The Socket Cordless Ring Scanner, with scanner part number ending in REV D, can be paired with a
T5-series device where the scanner acts as the initiator.
You must have access to VoiceConsole to set up the pairing. For production use, Vocollect recommends
that you create a specific device profile in VoiceConsole to store many of the following settings.
1. In VoiceConsole, select Bluetooth scanner as the pairing type for the device you want to pair with
the scanner. For the Connection Mode, select Device listens for peripheral connection. See VoiceConsole
Help for details.
2. Create a bar code using Symbology Code 128 in the following form, where AABBCCDDEEFF is the
Bluetooth MAC address found on the T5: #FNIAABBCCDDEEFF#
a) Bar codes can be created at a Web site such as www.barcoding.com/upc.
3. Turn on the Socket CRS and the T5.
4. Scan the bar code you created.
The scanner beeps and begins flashing rapidly. It is now searching for the device.
5. Place the scanner and device closely together to pair.
The Bluetooth LED on the scanner blinks once every four seconds to indicate that the scanner and
device have paired.

Talkman T1
Figure 67: Talkman T1
The Talkman®T1 is Vocollect's light industrial voice-enabled device for dry, non-freezer environments.
The device is worn in a holster and is designed to be used only with the Vocollect SL-4 Light Industrial
Behind-the-Head Headset.
This device and headset solution is ideal for less noisy work areas because the SL-4 speaker sits farther
from the head than in Vocollect's SR-Series headsets. As a result, users must set the device volume to
a level appropriate for their environments. The Talkman T1 speech recognition performance, however,
is comparable to the rest of the Talkman line of devices.

Vocollect Wired Headsets
An operator uses a headset with a microphone to interact with a device by hearing and responding to
instructions. Based on the operator's responses, the device transmits data messages back to the host
computer.
Vocollect offers a variety of wired headsets designed for different environments and wearing preferences.
The SR-20 tends to be the most popular general use headset. Other models provide behind-the-head,
light industrial, and hardhat options. Headset features include:
• Bidirectional noise-canceling microphones for optimal noise cancelation.
• Windscreen to reduce breathing and other background noises that can make it hard for the device to
understand what an operator is saying.
• Sealed components to prevent corrosion.
• Dual strap, padded, stainless steel headbands for increased comfort and stability.
• Single strap, lightweight headbands for a personalized fit.
• Single-cup models with single ear cups that pivot vertically and horizontally and can be worn on
either ear.
• Dual-cup model for added noise reduction in loud work environments.
• Foam ear pads for quick and easy replacement.
•A rotating lever on the outside of the earpiece for moving the microphone up and down without causing
stress on the microphone boom.
• Repeatable microphone position; a groove catches the boom, placing it in the proper position when
the boom is swiveled down for operation.
The headsets, microphones, cords, and connectors used with the Vocollect Voice®system are delicate
pieces of electronic equipment. Proper care will ensure that they work well for a long time.
See Care and Use of Headsets and Microphones for more information.
Important: For maximum hygiene, Vocollect discourages sharing headsets among operators. The
design of the SRX2 Wireless Headset features an electronics module that can be removed from the
headband and windscreen. The electronics module can be shared among operators over multiple
shifts, providing some level of hygiene while potentially reducing costs.
SL-4 and SL-14 Vocollect Light Industrial Behind-the-Head Headset
The SL-4 and SL-14 Vocollect®light industrial, behind-the-head headsets are behind-the-head worn
headsets designed for worker in light industrial environments. The design of these headsets is appealing
for workers who can not wear typical over-the-head models due to hair style, headgear or comfort issues.
The SL-4 works with the Talkman T1 devices while the SL-14 works with the Talkman A500, T2- or
T5-series devices.
Note: These lightweight, non-repairable headsets may be damaged if the "Proper Use and Care"
instructions are not followed. See the "Proper Use and Care" document included with the headset
for information.

Care and Use of Headsets and Microphones
The headsets and microphones used with the Vocollect Voice system are delicate pieces of electronic
equipment. Proper care and use of these products will ensure that they work well for a long time.
Confidential: For informational use by Vocollect Resellers and customers only
Vocollect Wired Headsets | 109
Important: For maximum hygiene, Vocollect discourages sharing headsets among operators.
The design of the SRX2 Wireless Headset features an electronics module that can be removed from
the headband and windscreen. The electronics module can be shared among operators over multiple
shifts, providing some level of hygiene while potentially reducing costs.
Wearing Headsets: General Procedures
This describes the standard procedures for wearing Vocollect headsets. Note that special types of headsets
have somewhat different procedures.
Tip:
Always use pads and windscreens with Vocollect headsets to protect the equipment and ensure
optimum speech recognition performance.
1. Put the headset on and adjust the ear pad to fit snugly over your ear.
•For the Hard-Hat Headset, first insert the headset bracket into the left or right slot on the hardhat,
then put on the hardhat.
2. Swing the microphone into position with the rotating lever at the earpiece.
Important: Do not swivel the microphone boom by the flexible end. Use the rotating lever on
the outside of the earpiece.
3. Make final adjustments with the flexible boom so that the microphone is positioned at the corner of
your mouth.
A dot or the word "talk" on the microphone faces your mouth when the microphone is positioned
properly.
Make sure that there is a windscreen on the microphone. A windscreen improves performance.
4. Clip the headset wire to collar and belt. Let the wire fall down your back, and clip it to the belt near
the device.
If you use a device cover, Vocollect recommends that you clip the bottom clip directly onto the cover.
5. Connect or pair the headset to the device.
Adjusting Headsets for Comfort
Vocollect has designed the SR Series headsets based on data for most head shapes and sizes. Because
the headset is the most personal piece of voice equipment and must remain stable while workers perform
very physical tasks, users may benefit from these headset adjustment guidelines.
•Placement of the "T-bar" pad: The SR-20, SR-21, SR-30, and SRX models have pads called "t-bars"
opposite the speaker side of the headset. The t-bar should be positioned on a part of the head with
the least amount of muscle.
As an operator speaks, the muscle above the ear flexes. If the t-bar is placed on this muscle, the
headset applies pressure to the artery and nerves beneath it and can cause the operator some
discomfort. The operator can locate this muscle by moving his or her jaw and feeling the area above
the ear for movement. Some operators choose to alternate the headset position on either side of their
heads during their shifts.
Confidential: For informational use by Vocollect Resellers and customers only
110 | Vocollect Hardware Documentation
Figure 78: T-bar Pad Placement on the Head
•Headset pad options: Vocollect offers a variety of pads to meet the unique requirements of workers
and working conditions.
Standard foam pads: provide cushioning and soft surfaces wherever the headset comes in contact
with the operator. Available on all headsets.
Leatherette ear pads: have a faux leather exterior that is a more firm and supportive and more
moisture resistant than standard foam pads. Offered for all SR-20 through SR-40 models.
Memory foam pads: offer superior cushioning support and comfort. Available in earpads for the
SR-20/21 and in t-bar pads for the SR-20/21 and SR-30.
Removing Headsets
1. Disconnect the headset from the device.
Important: Do not pull on the headset's cord.
2. Unclip the headset cord from your shirt or jacket.
3. Carefully remove the headset from your head.
Note: For the Hard-Hat Headset, remove the hard hat. Press the release clip to remove the
headset unit from the hardhat bracket.
Cleaning Windscreens
Vocollect recommends that you change windscreens every 90 days for optimum speech recognition
performance.
Important: Soap, cleaning solutions, and vigorous washing will remove the protective coating on
the windscreen and decrease its effectiveness.
1. Remove the windscreen from the microphone.
2. Rinse the windscreen under warm water.
3. Squeeze out the excess water and let it air dry thoroughly.
Confidential: For informational use by Vocollect Resellers and customers only
Vocollect Wired Headsets | 111
Cleaning Headsets
Note: Commercial cleaning solvents are not recommended.
• Clean the plastic parts of the headsets with a soft cloth dampened with water. To clean and disinfect
the headset plastic, use a pre-moistened alcohol wipe.
•If the Talkman Connectors or plugs become contaminated, use a pre-moistened alcohol wipe to remove
dirt or residue.
•If the metal connection points on the Talkman's Connectors become discolored, use a soft pencil eraser
to clean them.
• Do not use unapproved liquids to clean the yellow, blue, and red Talkman Connectors (TCOs) and
any associated headset, scanner, or device plugs.
Cleaning the Headband Pad
Note: Vocollect strongly recommends that you leave the headband pad in place when cleaning it.
If you must remove the entire pad to clean it, use care to line up the headband pad with the topmost
part of the headband when you place it back on the headband.
• Leave the headband in place and simply wipe the headband with a soft cloth. If necessary, use a
pre-moistened alcohol wipe to clean and disinfect the unit.
Cleaning the Dual-Cupped Headset Ear Pad Cover
• The cupped headset ear pad cover is made of 100% cotton flannel and may shrink if washed and dried
in a dryer. Vocollect recommends that the covers be hand or machine washed in cold or warm water
and then air dried.

Vocollect Wireless Headsets
An operator uses a headset with a microphone to interact with a device by hearing and responding to
instructions. Based on the operator's responses, the device transmits data messages back to the host
computer.
The Vocollect ®SRX and SRX2 speech-recognition headsets feature industrial grade use of Bluetooth
Wireless Technology. These wireless headsets manage the quality of voice input/output, have no cables
to connect, and remain connected to a device up to ten meters away.
Vocollect SRX and SRX2 wireless headset features include:
• Bidirectional noise canceling microphones for optimal noise cancellation.
• Windscreen to reduce breathing and other background noises that can make it hard for the device to
understand what an operator is saying.
• Sealed components to prevent corrosion.
• Padded, lightweight headbands for increased comfort and personalized fit.
• Single ear cups that pivot vertically and horizontally and can be worn on either ear.
• Foam ear pads for quick and easy replacement.
•A rotating lever on the outside of the earpiece for moving the microphone up and down without causing
stress on the microphone boom.
• Repeatable microphone position; a groove catches the boom, placing it in the proper position when
the boom is swiveled down for operation.
The headsets and microphones used with the Vocollect Voice®system are delicate pieces of electronic
equipment. Proper care will ensure that they work well for a long time.

Vocollect SRX Wireless Headset
Figure 79: SRX Wireless Headset
The Vocollect ®SRX speech-recognition headset features industrial grade use of Bluetooth Wireless
Technology. The SRX headset manages the quality of voice input/output in the headset itself, has no
cables to connect, and remains connected to a device at up to 10 meters away.
• Pairing modes on the headset can only be entered from the powered off state.
• It is best to pair in an area where you are at least three feet away from another Bluetooth device.
This helps ensure your headset does not accidentally pair with the wrong device.
• The SRX remembers its last pairing and will reconnect only with that device. It will not respond to
paging or inquiries from other devices until it is placed in pairing mode again.
• When it is not paired with a device, the SRX headset volume can only be adjusted using the buttons
on the headset.
• When the SRX headset is paired with a device, volume can be adjusted by pressing the Plus and
Minus buttons on the headset or device.
•The SRX headset remembers its last volume setting when powered off and back on, and across battery
removals and replacements.The last volume setting used while paired with a wearable computer is
saved with the operator's profile. This volume level will be restored to the SRX headset upon
reconnection. However, the headset volume may be different upon reconnection if the volume was
changed while it was not connected to a device, or if a different operator used the headset.
A padded Velcro®mobility strap fits across the back of the user's head to provide extra stability.

About Pairing Wireless Headsets
Pairing is the process in which two devices enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology create a secure
link in order to share information. The pairing process begins when the master device initiates an inquiry
to search for Bluetooth addresses or queries one, specific address.
Vocollect wireless headset pairings with Talkman or handheld devices are initiated by the device and
remain paired until broken by user action. Note that the pairing exists between the headset and device
hardware — the device operator ID is not tied to this pairing. If the operator moves to a different device,
the original headset/device pairing will not follow that operator.
Note: The automatic operator load feature is an exception to the hardware-only pairing. On supported
platforms, when an operator connects to a Vocollect wireless headset, that connection and operator
information are registered in VoiceConsole. The next time the operator connects to that headset;
his or her information will be loaded automatically. See the automatic operator load documentation
for your Vocollect Voice release.
Pairing versus Connecting
Pairing is not the same as connecting. Two Bluetooth devices, once paired, can connect and disconnect
many times. With a pairing in memory, the two devices can reconnect easily and will make repeated
attempts to establish a connection. In this way, a headset and device pairing allows for increased user
mobility.
For example, if the user takes the headset out of range of the paired device or powers it off, the device
will notice the connection loss, sever the connection, and then try to reconnect. The two remain paired
throughout this process.
SRX/SRX2 Headset Pairing Methods
After an SRX or SRX2 headset enters low or high power pairing mode, it is available to accept a pairing
initiated by a Talkman A500, Talkman T5-Series, or other Bluetooth-enabled device. These pairings can
be accomplished using a variety of methods:
On startup or on removal from a charger, the Talkman device immediately
searches for wireless headsets and initiates a pairing. Auto pairing is most
effective when users swap headsets and Talkman devices regularly.
Auto pairing:
Note: The first time an SRX headset accepts an auto pairing, the paired
device configures the headset to enter into pairing mode immediately on
all future startups.
Note: The SRX2 headset always powers up in pairing mode.
The user determines when to pair a device and headset by pressing buttons
on the device. Manual pairing is effective in environments where the same
Talkman devices and headsets are always used together.
Manual pairing:
Important: The first pairing for an SRX headset that has never been
paired with a device must be a manual pairing. After this first time, the
headset can pair automatically.
Note: The SRX2 headset can perform either manual or auto pairing for
its first pairing.
Confidential: For informational use by Vocollect Resellers and customers only
132 | Vocollect Hardware Documentation
The user pairs a specific device to a headset via the VoiceConsole interface.VoiceConsole pairing:
See Pairing a Headset by Screen-Based Pairing for details on pairing handheld
devices to a headset.
Screen-Based pairing:
Cross Pairing
Cross pairing is the result of a master device pairing with a headset or other device that is not the
intended slave. If a user cannot isolate his or her device and headset from others and a cross pairing
occurs, the user should break the existing pairing and retry the intended pairing.
Tip: Prevent unwanted cross pairing by isolating the device and headset from all other Bluetooth
devices any time that the device is performing an inquiry scan to find the headset.
Pairing an SRX Headset
Once paired, an SRX headset and a device remember their association, even when powered off and on
again or after the device recharges. The SRX headset will only connect with that paired device.
Pairing the SRX headset with a new device erases the previous pairing from the headset's memory.
Note: If you are using an SRX2 headset, see Pairing an SRX2 Headset for details.
Auto Pairing with a Talkman Device
Prerequisites:
• The headset is powered off. You can only put an SRX Wireless Headset into low or high power pairing
mode from the powered-off state.
• There is no wired headset connected to the Talkman device.
• The Talkman device is in sleep mode — not in use running a task or voice application. Its green LED
indicator is flashing. If the LED is solid green, press the Play/Pause button.
• The Talkman device is Bluetooth ready with Bluetooth connection features enabled.
Important: An unpaired Talkman device will constantly search for wireless headsets while in auto
pairing mode. Do not leave an auto pair-enabled device unpaired and powered on because the search
will drain the battery.
1. Reboot the Talkman device or remove it from a charger. Either of these two actions will initiate a
scan for headsets by the device.
2. If the LED indicator on the headset is not flashing slowly, then it is not in pairing mode. To enter
pairing mode, press and hold the Plus (+) and Minus (-) buttons on the headset control panel for four
seconds.
The LED indicator on the headset flutters quickly, plauses, flashes three times quickly, then starts
flashing slowly. The headset remains in pairing mode for about one minute then reverts to idle mode.
3. Hold the headset and Talkman device so they are within six inches of each other but not touching.
The blue LED indicator on the Talkman device turns on, may flash a few times, and then remains
lit. After 20 to 30 seconds, the headset beeps three ascending tones and its LED indicator flashes less
rapidly. These indicators confirm that a pairing has completed.
4. Put on the headset. You will hear the headset repeat the serial number of the Talkman device to
which it is paired.
5. Verify that the number matches the serial number on the Talkman device.
If you need to attempt the pairing again, re-enter pairing mode by rebooting the headset.

More about SRX/SRX2 Pairing Modes
When a headset is in pairing mode it is ready to respond to any inquiries about its Bluetooth services.
The inquiring device uses this response to determine if it wants to pair with the headset. Because the
device is the initiator and the headset is the acceptor, a user facilitates the pairing process by putting
the headset into pairing mode before initiating the connection from the device.
SRX and SRX2 headsets support two pairing modes.
•Low Power Pairing Mode
Low power pairing mode is the default pairing mode for SRX and SRX2 headsets. In this mode, a
headset will answer a Bluetooth device inquiry with a very low power response that transmits within
a small area (a few feet or so, depending on the receiving capabilities of the inquiring device).
Limiting the wireless transmission helps to avoid an unwanted cross pairing (a pairing with a Bluetooth
address other than the target) by forcing the headset to be in close proximity to the device.
•High Power Pairing Mode
High power pairing mode allows the headset and device to be separated by more distance because
the headset’s response to inquiries is a wider transmission.
Vocollect recommends using high power pairing only if low power pairing fails. Use this mode with
care: While high power pairing mode makes it more likely that the connection will succeed, it also
increases the likelihood of cross pairing.
If the configuration parameter SrxAutoPairEnable is enabled and the configuration parameter
SrxHighPowerPairingDelaySeconds is set to 0, headsets will skip lower power pairing mode and
enter high power mode.

Breaking a Pairing
There are several methods to break a pairing between an SRX or SRX2 headset and a Bluetooth device.
A device can break a pairing with a wireless headset by initiating a new search
for headsets. The user can initiate the device query by holding down the Plus
From the Device:
(+) and Minus (-) buttons on the device. This method is useful if the user’s device
completes a cross pairing with the wrong headset; the user can initiate another
manual pairing.
VoiceConsole displays all Bluetooth pairings including SRX and SRX2 headsets,
Talkman devices, scanners, and printers. From the Edit Device page, you can
clear a pairing. You can do this with headsets as well.
From VoiceConsole:
The headset cannot break the pairing with the device. The user must break it
from the device by initiating another pairing.
From an SRX
Headset:
The SRX2 headset user can break any pairing by pressing the Plus (+) and
Minus (-) buttons.
If the paired device is running Vocollect VoiceCatalyst 1.2 and newer, the SRX2
headset signals the device that the pairing is being broken. With older versions
of Vocollect Voice, the pairing breaks only after it times out.

Headset Pairing FAQ
Q: My device accidentally paired with a different headset, what can I do?
A: Perform a manual pairing; it will break the connection and initiate another inquiry. Note that the
user should have his or her headset in pairing mode before performing this step so that the device can
find the headset when it searches.
Q: The users at my site do not have assigned headsets and devices, so they could get a different
headset at every shift. Which pairing process would you recommend?
A: Auto pairing would probably be the easiest, as it will quickly establish connections and, by default,
does not maintain those pairings.
Confidential: For informational use by Vocollect Resellers and customers only
Vocollect Wireless Headsets | 139
Q: The users at my site are assigned their own SRX or SRX2 headsets, so I want to maintain
pairings and avoid pairing headsets at the start of every shift. What pairing process would
you recommend?
A: You could use manual pairing or auto pairing with the configuration parameter
SrxPersistAutomaticPairing set to "1" and SrxClearPairingInCharger set to "0" in order to maintain
pairings through device reboots and recharging.
Q: Our users are spending a lot of time pairing. What methods would you recommend to
reduce the time it takes to pair headsets?
A: There are a number of solutions:
• Use a pairing mode that is not as susceptible to cross pairing - avoid using auto pairing.
• Ensure that users are isolated by some distance when the devices perform inquiry searches.
•Use manual pairing, rather than auto pairing, so that the searches are done only at the user’s request.
• Use low power pairing.
• If your users do not share headsets and devices, use manual pairing so that the device and headset
remain paired.
• If your users share headsets and devices, use auto pairing so that pairing hardware at each shift will
complete faster.
Supervisor Audio with SRX/SRX2 Headsets
Supervisor Audio is a feature that will allow a second party to listen to the conversation between a
Bluetooth-enabled Talkman device and a user with an SRX or SRX2 headset.
A supervisor wears a wired headset connected to the operator's device, then walks behind the operator
who is wearing a wireless headset paired with the same device. The supervisor must keep the operator's
device within range of the operator's wireless headset.
Note: This feature is designed to work with Vocollect Talkman devices. It may function properly
with other devices depending on the available processing power.
Supervisor Audio offers two listening modes.
• Combined audio - the user’s microphone audio and the text-to-speech (TTS) audio are combined and
streamed out of the wired audio port
• Device audio only - the TTS audio only is streamed to the second party
Enabling Supervisor Audio
To enable this feature, set the SrxSupervisorAudioEnable configuration parameter to the desired
mode. See Configuration Parameters for SRX/SRX2 Headsets for details.
• This feature should ONLY be used for debugging and when a user requires training or assistance.
This parameter should be turned off for optimal performance.
• Under normal operations, you cannot have a wired headset attached to the device when using an
SRX or SRX2 headset. This parameter overrides this requirement when enabled.
• To avoid disconnecting the wireless headset, pair and connect the Talkman device to the headset
first, then connect a wired headset.

Care and Use of Headsets and Microphones
The headsets and microphones used with the Vocollect Voice system are delicate pieces of electronic
equipment. Proper care and use of these products will ensure that they work well for a long time.
Important: For maximum hygiene, Vocollect discourages sharing headsets among operators.
The design of the SRX2 Wireless Headset features an electronics module that can be removed from
the headband and windscreen. The electronics module can be shared among operators over multiple
shifts, providing some level of hygiene while potentially reducing costs.
Wearing Headsets: General Procedures
This describes the standard procedures for wearing Vocollect headsets. Note that special types of headsets
have somewhat different procedures.
Tip:
Always use pads and windscreens with Vocollect headsets to protect the equipment and ensure
optimum speech recognition performance.
1. Put the headset on and adjust the ear pad to fit snugly over your ear.
•For the Hard-Hat Headset, first insert the headset bracket into the left or right slot on the hardhat,
then put on the hardhat.
2. Swing the microphone into position with the rotating lever at the earpiece.
Important: Do not swivel the microphone boom by the flexible end. Use the rotating lever on
the outside of the earpiece.
3. Make final adjustments with the flexible boom so that the microphone is positioned at the corner of
your mouth.
A dot or the word "talk" on the microphone faces your mouth when the microphone is positioned
properly.
Make sure that there is a windscreen on the microphone. A windscreen improves performance.
4. Clip the headset wire to collar and belt. Let the wire fall down your back, and clip it to the belt near
the device.
If you use a device cover, Vocollect recommends that you clip the bottom clip directly onto the cover.
5. Connect or pair the headset to the device.
Adjusting Headsets for Comfort
Vocollect has designed the SR Series headsets based on data for most head shapes and sizes. Because
the headset is the most personal piece of voice equipment and must remain stable while workers perform
very physical tasks, users may benefit from these headset adjustment guidelines.
•Placement of the "T-bar" pad: The SR-20, SR-21, SR-30, and SRX models have pads called "t-bars"
opposite the speaker side of the headset. The t-bar should be positioned on a part of the head with
the least amount of muscle.
Confidential: For informational use by Vocollect Resellers and customers only
Vocollect Wireless Headsets | 143
As an operator speaks, the muscle above the ear flexes. If the t-bar is placed on this muscle, the
headset applies pressure to the artery and nerves beneath it and can cause the operator some
discomfort. The operator can locate this muscle by moving his or her jaw and feeling the area above
the ear for movement. Some operators choose to alternate the headset position on either side of their
heads during their shifts.
Figure 99: T-bar Pad Placement on the Head
•Headset pad options: Vocollect offers a variety of pads to meet the unique requirements of workers
and working conditions.
Standard foam pads: provide cushioning and soft surfaces wherever the headset comes in contact
with the operator. Available on all headsets.
Leatherette ear pads: have a faux leather exterior that is a more firm and supportive and more
moisture resistant than standard foam pads. Offered for all SR-20 through SR-40 models.
Memory foam pads: offer superior cushioning support and comfort. Available in earpads for the
SR-20/21 and in t-bar pads for the SR-20/21 and SR-30.
Removing Headsets
1. Disconnect the headset from the device.
Important: Do not pull on the headset's cord.
2. Unclip the headset cord from your shirt or jacket.
3. Carefully remove the headset from your head.
Note: For the Hard-Hat Headset, remove the hard hat. Press the release clip to remove the
headset unit from the hardhat bracket.
Cleaning Windscreens
Vocollect recommends that you change windscreens every 90 days for optimum speech recognition
performance.
Important: Soap, cleaning solutions, and vigorous washing will remove the protective coating on
the windscreen and decrease its effectiveness.
1. Remove the windscreen from the microphone.
2. Rinse the windscreen under warm water.
Confidential: For informational use by Vocollect Resellers and customers only
144 | Vocollect Hardware Documentation
3. Squeeze out the excess water and let it air dry thoroughly.
Cleaning Headsets
Note: Commercial cleaning solvents are not recommended.
• Clean the plastic parts of the headsets with a soft cloth dampened with water. To clean and disinfect
the headset plastic, use a pre-moistened alcohol wipe.
•If the Talkman Connectors or plugs become contaminated, use a pre-moistened alcohol wipe to remove
dirt or residue.
•If the metal connection points on the Talkman's Connectors become discolored, use a soft pencil eraser
to clean them.
• Do not use unapproved liquids to clean the yellow, blue, and red Talkman Connectors (TCOs) and
any associated headset, scanner, or device plugs.
Cleaning the Headband Pad
Note: Vocollect strongly recommends that you leave the headband pad in place when cleaning it.
If you must remove the entire pad to clean it, use care to line up the headband pad with the topmost
part of the headband when you place it back on the headband.
• Leave the headband in place and simply wipe the headband with a soft cloth. If necessary, use a
pre-moistened alcohol wipe to clean and disinfect the unit.

Chapter 9
Chargers
Vocollect offers charger units that can charge one or more batteries individually or while inserted in
Talkman devices.
Talkman devices should be placed into a charger when not in use. The charger charges the device's
battery while linking to the host computer to download new voice applications, reconfigure device settings,
and update device software.
Caution:
• Keep water and moisture away from the charger at all times. If a battery has any condensation
from use in a cold environment such as a freezer, dry the battery before placing it into the charger.
• Only Vocollect-approved batteries should be placed in the battery charger. Do not attempt to
charge any other type of battery in the charger.
Note:
• Do not place a device into a charger without a battery attached to it.
• A device is always on when it is in a charger. When a device that is powered off is placed into a
charger, it automatically turns on.
• The A500/T5 and T1 chargers can charge batteries both inserted in and separate from devices.
• Vocollect recommends that a protective device, such as an uninterruptible power supply with
surge protection and lightning arrestor capability, be used with battery chargers.
T5/A500 Combination Charger

Easy Configuration
Easy Configuration uses the serial connection between bays in the T5/A500 Combination Charger to
distribute configuration files from one device to all devices in the charger. This feature allows new
installations to quickly complete initial device configuration and simplifies adding new devices or
returning repaired devices to service.
Any of the supported device models - T5, T5m, and A500 - may be configured using this feature. Multiple
models may be configured in the charger at the same time. Please note, however, that some configurable
parameters are specific to a device's radio card. Therefore, some parameters loaded from the master
device to devices with different radios will not be effective, and devices that receive the distribution may
not receive all of the desirable parameters for their specific radios.
Note: Easy configuration should be used only with a DHCP server.
Easy Configuration: Initial Setup
The following instructions are for initially setting up the site. That is, no devices are currently connected

SRX2 Battery Charger Wall Mount
The SRX2 battery charger is ready for mounting on a standard DIN rail without any customer
modifications. A DIN rail must be installed on a wall in a suitable location. Vocollect offers a DIN rail
suitable for mounting a single charger, but customers may choose to purchase rails from other suppliers
as long as the rails meet Vocollect specifications. Consider the following before wall mounting your
charger.
• Customer assembly required for the rail wall mount.
• Customer assumes all responsibility for the installation of charger units.
• Installer must verify that the installation meets all local building codes.
• Avoid potential hazards (electrical wires, waterlines, and similar building components) when drilling
into the wall.
• Avoid blocking power outlets and other wall receptacles when installing the rail and charger.
• Anchoring a wall mount rail to a wall stud generally results in a more stable installation. If you drill
into a wall stud, do not use a screw anchor in that hole.
• If you are mounting two chargers side by side, you must leave at least 1 in. (2.54 cm.) of space between
the two units to allow clearance for the locking arms.
• Rails must be anchored to the wall at least 12 in. (30.5 cm.) from the floor to allow for proper
attachment, seating, and removal of the charger unit.
• If you are mounting a charger directly above another charger, Vocollect recommends clearance of at
least 10 in. (25.4 cm.) between DIN rails.

About LED Indicators
Vocollect Talkman devices, SRX and SRX2 headsets, and their chargers have LEDs that indicate the
state of the equipment. These LEDs may be on, off or blink. In some cases an LED will blink, alternating
between two colors.
If the LEDs indicate that there is a problem, refer to information on troubleshooting to solve the problem.
See also Troubleshooting Problems Indicated by LED.
SRX2 Battery Charger LED Indicators
The SRX2 battery charger has an LED indicator light, located at the bottom right of the charger face,
that signals the status of the charger.
• Solid green LED: Charger power is on
• No light: Charger power is off
• Solid red LED: Charger is experiencing a power fault
Note: If the charger LED indicator is red, unplug the charger power supply from the power
source, and remove all batteries. Plug the power supply into the power source again. If the LED
remains red, the charger may require repair or replacement.
Charger Port Indicators
Additionally, each battery port has two LED indicator lights that apply to the status of the resident
battery.srx
• The ring LED is a circular light that indicates the battery's charge status.
• The alert LED, in the shape of an exclamation point (!), indicates that there is a battery condition
requiring attention. When this indicator is on, the battery on that charger port may not last a full
shift. Check VoiceConsole for a specific alert message.

Pairing the Socket Cordless Ring Scanner with a Talkman T5
During use, it is possible for the scanner to disconnect from the device if the communication link is
disrupted. When the scanner is setup so that the device initiates the connection, the device typically
Confidential: For informational use by Vocollect Resellers and customers only
186 | Vocollect Hardware Documentation
recovers the connection automatically. When the scanner initiates the connection, it typically requires
the press of a button to activate and recover the connection..
The Bluetooth connection between the Socket®Cordless Ring Scanner (CRS) and a Talkman T5 is
managed through VoiceConsole. See VoiceConsole Help for details on the use of Bluetooth with Vocollect
Voice systems.
Note that Each CRS has a unique Bluetooth address that is clearly labeled on the underside of the
wrist-worn Bluetooth transmitter and battery pack. This address is needed to associate a CRS with a
T5.
Because a T5 will be explicitly associated with a specific CRS via VoiceConsole, Vocollect strongly
recommends clearly labeling the CRS wrist units to identify them with the specific T5 to which they are
paired. A clear identification and operational procedure for keeping specific scanners associated with
specific Talkman T-Series devices will be beneficial in the work environment.
Connecting the CRS to the Talkman T5 Device
The Socket Cordless Ring Scanner, with scanner part number ending in REV D, can be paired with a
T5-series device where the scanner acts as the initiator.
You must have access to VoiceConsole to set up the pairing. For production use, Vocollect recommends
that you create a specific device profile in VoiceConsole to store many of the following settings.
1. In VoiceConsole, select Bluetooth scanner as the pairing type for the device you want to pair with
the scanner. For the Connection Mode, select Device listens for peripheral connection. See VoiceConsole
Help for details.
2. Create a bar code using Symbology Code 128 in the following form, where AABBCCDDEEFF is the
Bluetooth MAC address found on the T5: #FNIAABBCCDDEEFF#
a) Bar codes can be created at a Web site such as www.barcoding.com/upc.
3. Turn on the Socket CRS and the T5.
4. Scan the bar code you created.
The scanner beeps and begins flashing rapidly. It is now searching for the device.
5. Place the scanner and device closely together to pair.
The Bluetooth LED on the scanner blinks once every four seconds to indicate that the scanner and
device have paired.
Setting up for Carriage-Return (CR) and Line Feed (LF) Termination
It is likely that the scanner will need to minimally be set to send a carriage-return (CR) and line-feed
(LF) character, hexadecimal 13 and 10 respectively. Scanning each bar code from the sequence below
from top left to bottom right will:
• Initialize the scanner to defaults (top right bar code, may be omitted if not needed)
• Set Scan Suffix 1 to be a carriage return (next 5 bar codes)
• Set Scan Suffix 2 to be a line feed (top right 5 bar codes)
• Request scans be formatted with scanned data followed by Suffix 1 and then Suffix 2 (bottom right
bar code)

Vocollect Voice on Handheld Devices
Vocollect Voice extends the value of voice to users who perform multiple operations with handheld
devices. By installing Vocollect Voice on handheld display devices and scanners, you can take advantage
of the efficiency and ease of voice dialogs, Vocollect Adaptive Speech Recognition™, noise cancelation,
and multiple language support.
Adaptive Speech Recognition means that as the worker uses the system over time, Vocollect's speech
recognizer uses samples of his or her speech in different environments, at different volumes, and with
different inflections to update the worker's voice templates. As the recognizer accounts for changes in
speaking patterns, voice recognition improves and system performance improves.
Note that in order for adaptive voice recognition to work, the provider of your Vocollect Voice system
must include special recognizer hints called response expressions when developing the application.
Installing Vocollect Voice
Before installing:
• If using an Intermec device, prepare the device for the installation of Vocollect Voice by installing
the following operating system and device configurations in this order before you install Vocollect

Listening Kits
When training new operators, you may want to listen in on their progress working with the voice system.
Vocollect recommends specific listening kits for this purpose.
Wired Listening Kits
Caution: Vocollect strongly recommends the use of only approved listening systems sold by Vocollect.
If you choose to use a listening system that is not approved by Vocollect, Vocollect requires that the
listening system is independently powered through its own source (such as a battery) and has an
input impedance greater than or equal to 2K ohms. Vocollect is not responsible for equipment damage
that may be caused by listening systems not sold by Vocollect.
Figure 164: Radio Shack Wired Listening Kit
Figure 165: Marshall Demonstration Wired Listening Kit
• The wired listening kit connects to Talkman devices or handheld devices and allows a number of
people, such as trainers or supervisors, to listen to the conversation between an operator and a
Talkman device or handheld device.
• The Vocollect audio adapter cable with the red connector can be used with Talkman devices.
• A device-specific adapter training cable (also referred to as a "Y" or splitter cable) must be used with
third-party handheld devices.

About Sending Equipment Back for Repairs
Important:
• Only equipment purchased directly from Vocollect can be returned to Vocollect for repairs.
•If you purchased Vocollect equipment — for example, a headset in the SR-Series — from a Vocollect
reseller, contact the reseller.
• If you are using Vocollect VoiceClient on a handheld device, contact the reseller or device
manufacturer if you have questions or issues concerning the device.
Attention: Remove ear pads, mounting discs, cables, and cord clips before shipping. These
consumable items slow down the repair process, and units will be shipped back without these
consumables installed.
Vocollect issues RMAs for all returns regardless of the reason for the return. This guarantees proper
tracking of equipment, ensures proper handling, and facilitates a fast return.
The Customer Service department generally issues RMAs to customers who are returning products for
repair. However, Vocollect may issue RMAs for other reasons, such as the following:
• The product belongs to Vocollect. Vocollect may have loaned the product to a customer or provided it
as a sample.
• Vocollect requested that the customer return the item, perhaps for testing.
• A Vocollect employee at the customer site has determined that the product should go back to Vocollect
for some other reason.
Confidential: For informational use by Vocollect Resellers and customers only
234 | Vocollect Hardware Documentation
• Exchange — for example, an incorrect item was shipped or the wrong size of belt was ordered.
Some Vocollect customers have service contracts with repair depots to perform repairs on Vocollect
products. Customers with these service contracts should contact their repair depot to return equipment.
Follow the RMA issuance procedures to eliminate unnecessary repair costs and to ensure timely product
receipt. If you have a question about the RMA process, please contact Customer Service.
Packaging Items for Return to Vocollect
Note: Properly packaged RMA items facilitate faster repair and return of Vocollect products.
Vocollect appreciates your assistance and adherence to these policies.
1. Pack items so that no items can come into direct contact with one another or with the sides, bottom,
or top of the shipping container.
2. Line the shipping container with at least one layer of padding, preferably anti-static bubble pack.
3. Pack each item individually in a bag or wrapping, preferably anti-static bubble bags or wrapping.
• If individual wrapping is not possible, place some packing material (such as anti-static bubble
pack) on the bottom of the shipping container, then pack items between layers of the material.
• Avoid using foam peanuts as the only packing material because they do not prevent items from
coming into contact with each other or the walls of the shipping container. Peanuts can, however,
fill empty space in the shipping container and on top of items that have been individually packed
in anti-static bubble bags.
Sending Equipment Back for Repairs: Return Material Authorization (RMA)
Procedures
1. Send an email to vocollect-rma@vocollect.com with the following information:
• Name of customer contact person
• Company name
• Company address
• Phone number
• Fax number
2. Also provide the following information about the items being returned:
• Quantity
• Description of product
• Serial number
• The version number of the software currently installed at your site
• Description of problem or reason for return
• Whether the product is covered by warranty, Extended Service Plan (ESP), or Depot Express
• A purchase order number if items are not covered by ESP or Depot Express
3. Include the RMA number on the shipping label, if shipping items to Vocollect.
4. Package the equipment according to the packaging instructions.
5. Address the shipping label to: Vocollect, Inc. 4250 Old William Penn Highway Monroeville, PA

Troubleshooting Equipment Problems | 235
Troubleshooting VMT Configurations
The following procedures are for fault determination with Vehicle Mount Talkman (VMT) when powered
by the vehicle power system.
The following procedures can be done with minimal Vocollect technical support to determine the specific
malfunction of a non-working VMT:
• Be sure the vehicle battery is charged and working, turn-on the vehicle and assure it starts. If the
vehicle does not start then the vehicle should be serviced by qualified personnel.
• If VMT was installed after the vehicle key switch, ensure it powers on when the vehicle is turned on.
Vocollect recommends the VMT be installed before the vehicle key switch to ensure it is always getting
power when the vehicle has a battery.
• If another Talkman device is available, substitute it for the non-working Talkman. If this substitute
Talkman also does not work, it is likely the problem is with the VMT power system. However, if the
substitute works, then it is likely that the original device is in need of service.
• Exchange the VMT Battery Adapter from the non-working VMT with a known working Battery
Adapter. If the VMT works with the new Battery Adapter, then the original Battery Adapter is likely
in need of replacement.
The following steps will need qualified Vocollect technical support to determine the specific malfunction
of a non-working VMT:
Gain access to the power supply used by the VMT (this is likely mounted inside the vehicle). Remove
the four () screws that attach the lid of the power supply to expose the input and output wiring as
illustrated in the diagram below.
• Test the input terminals to determine if voltage is being supplied and matches that of the vehicle
power system.
• If the voltage supplied does not match that of the vehicle power system, professional attention is
needed to determine why the vehicle power system is not providing the correct voltage.
• If no voltage is being supplied, check the fuses on the input cable, replace if they are blown. If the
fuses immediately blow after replacement, determine if the input cable to the VMT power supply
has a short circuit. If there is no short then it is likely there is a problem with the VMT power
supply.
• If no voltage is being supplied and the fuses are not blown, check the integrity of the input cable
for a break. If there is a break, replace the cable. If not, there is likely a problem with the vehicle
power system that needs professional attention.
• If input voltage is being supplied to the power supply, check the output voltage.
Confidential: For informational use by Vocollect Resellers and customers only
236 | Vocollect Hardware Documentation
If there is input voltage but no output voltage or the output voltage does not match 13.2V DC then
the power supply is likely in need of replacement.
•
• If there is output voltage in the 13.2V DC range then the problem is likely in the cable to the
Battery Adapter or the Battery Adapter itself. Try a known, working Battery Adapter. If that does
not work then it is likely that the cable between the power supply and Battery Adapter is in need
of replacement.
•A Battery Adapter may be tested by checking the output of the adapter. Note that to rule out problems
with the power supply or cable to the Battery Adapter, a known, working Battery Adapter should be
tested first before testing a suspect Battery Adapter. The two outermost points of a working Battery
Adapter should read approximately 3.9-4.2V DC as illustrated in the figure below.
Troubleshooting Problems Indicated by LED
Vocollect Talkman devices, chargers and the SRX headset and its charger have LEDs that indicate the
state of the equipment. These LEDs may be on, off or blink. In some cases an LED will blink, alternating
between two colors.
If the LEDs indicate that there is a problem, follow the troubleshooting steps to solve the problem.
1. Check the battery contacts and the charger contacts for dirt or other obstructions that might prevent
the contacts from connecting properly.
2. Clean the contacts, if necessary.
a) Use an isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol) swab or soft cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol to clean
metal connection points.
b) If dirt or residue cannot be removed with the alcohol swab or cloth, use a soft, non-abrasive rubber
eraser to clean metal connection points. You can also use a three-row toothbrush style, general
cleaning brush with natural hog hair bristles to gently brush away dirt on the contacts.
c) Wipe again with isopropyl alcohol.
3. Try various combinations of batteries and chargers to determine if the condition is specific to the
battery or to the charger.
• If the condition is specific to the battery, give the battery to your system administrator.
• If the condition is specific to the charger, disconnect the charger from its power source for about
five seconds, then reconnect it. Test the charger with a battery. If the same condition occurs, return
the charger for service.

Appendix B
Template Training Options
All new operators must train their voice templates in order to perform a task with the Vocollect Voice
system. Supervisors have four options for operators to train templates when using a device.
Note: Always speak in your normal tone of voice when training templates.
Training with the Talkman Device Only
Once a new operator is recognized by a Talkman device, the Vocollect Voice system instructs him/her to
train all the words he/she will use in the task.
Note: This process can be improved when used in conjunction with the section “Training Using a
Printed List of Words” as found below.
Note: Your supervisor must set up the system to use the voice-only option for creating templates
with a handheld device.
1. Turn your device on by pressing the Play/Pause button.
The LED indicator turns red for a few moments then turns green. The device says, "Please keep quiet
for a few seconds." After a pause, the device says, "Please say zero."
2. Say "Zero."
The device says "One."
3. Say "One."
The device says, "Two."
4. Say "Two."
The device says, "Please say the following words..."
5. As the device says each word, say it back to the device. The device will prompt you with the same
word at least four times; repeat the word each time it asks. If it prompts you for phrases, say the
phrase naturally, without pauses between the words.
When the device has asked for all words in the task the necessary number of times, the device will
say, "Creating voice templates. Please wait." It will then beep periodically until all of the remaining
voice templates have been created. When the remaining voice templates have been created, the device
says, "Finished creating voice templates." The device then goes to sleep. You can begin the task by
pressing the Play/Pause button.
Training Using and Visual Training Device
Note: This is not supported on the Talkman T1.
1. Be sure the training device is configured.
2. Connect the training device to your Talkman T-Series device.
3. Turn your Talkman device on by pressing the Play/Pause button.
Confidential: For informational use by Vocollect Resellers and customers only
The LED indicator turns red for a few moments then turns green. The training device displays, "Please
keep quiet for a few seconds."
Note:
• If your device does not say this, press the Operator button to manually perform a background
noise sample.
• If you cannot see words displayed on the training device screen, there may be a problem with
the contrast on the device. Refer to the manufacturer's documentation.
• The Talkman device says and the training device displays, "Please say zero."
4. Say "Zero."
The Talkman device says and the training device displays, "One."
5. Say "One."
The Talkman device says and the training device displays, "Two."
6. Say "Two."
The Talkman device says, "Please say the following words as they appear on the screen."
The Talkman device stops speaking and words to train are only displayed on the screen. Speak the words
as they appear on the device display. Words appear in random order and are repeated at least four times
to get an accurate recording of how you speak the words. If it prompts you for phrases, say the phrase
naturally, without exaggerated pauses between the words.
When the device has asked for all words in the task the necessary number of times, the device will say,
"Creating voice templates. Please wait." It will then beep periodically until all of the remaining voice
templates have been created.
During the beeping, the device periodically repeats the "... Please wait" phrase to alert the user that it
is still busy. When the remaining voice templates have been created, the device says, "Finished creating
voice templates." The device then goes to sleep. You can begin the task by pressing the Play/Pause button.
You can expect the device to beep for approximately two minutes after all of the vocabulary words have
been spoken. If the operator presses any of the device's buttons during this time period, the device says,
"Creating voice templates. Please wait."
Disconnect the training device and begin your task by pressing the Play/Pause button.
Training through VoiceConsole's Display
Note: Supported when using VoiceConsole 3.0 or newer and VoiceClient 3.5 and newer.
If you are using VoiceConsole 3.0 or newer and VoiceClient 3.5 or newer, you can view the words the
device asks you to train on a computer screen, through the user interface, or pocket PC device screen as
you go through the training process. See Viewing Dialog Between and Device and an Operator in the
VoiceConsole online help for more information.
Training Using a Printed List of Words
Note: Supported when using VoiceConsole 3.1 or newer.
Note: This is the recommended training method for the Talkman T1.
Confidential: For informational use by Vocollect Resellers and customers only
262 | Vocollect Hardware Documentation
If you suspect operators may have a difficult time recognizing the words the device is speaking during
training, you can create a print out of the words used in the task that the device will ask the operators
to train.
1. If a current operator has previously performed the task the new operator is going to use, go to
VoiceConsole and perform the steps for viewing an operator’s voice templates using the current
operator. See Managing Operator Numbers in the VoiceConsole online help for more information.
2. On the Manage Operator Templates:<operator name> page in VoiceConsole, print the list of trained
words. See Viewing Printable Versions of List Data in the VoiceConsole online help.
3. If necessary, on the printed list, circle commonly misheard or confusing words.
Figure 170: Printed List with Commonly Misheard or Confusing Words Circled
4. Vocollect recommends the new operator review the list prior to training so he/she is familiar with the
words that will be used
If templates have not been trained for the task the new operator is going to use, have the supervisor or
current operator train templates for that task and perform the steps above. To proceed with the actual
training, follow the detailed list of instructions in the “Training with the Talkman Only” section above.
Training Using the Handheld Device Screen
Note: This is not supported on Talkman devices.
1. On the device screen, tap Start.
2.
Tap the Vocollect Voice symbol.
The Vocollect Voice screen displays. The status indicator turns red for a few moments then turns
green. The device says, "Current operator is <name>. <Number> words not trained. Good night."
Make sure the device says your name. If it does not, check with your supervisor or trainer.
3. Tap the play/pause button on the device screen. The device says, "Please keep quiet for a few
seconds."
If the device does not say this, tap the operator button to manually perform a background noise
sample.
The device says, "Please say zero."
4. Say "Zero."
The device says, "One."

Template Training Options | 263
5. Say "One."
The device says, "Two."
6. Say "Two."
The device says, "Please say the following words as they appear on the screen."
The Voice Training text box displays.
Figure 171: Voice Training text box
If you cannot see the words displayed on the training device screen, there may be a problem with the
contrast on the device. Refer to the manufacturer's documentation.
As each word appears on the device display, say it to the device. The device will display the same word
at least four times; repeat the word each time it appears. If you see phrases, say the phrase naturally,
without exaggerated pauses between the words.
When the device has asked for all words in the task the necessary number of times, the device will say,
"Creating voice templates. Please wait." It will then beep periodically until all of the remaining voice
templates have been created.
During the beeping, the device periodically repeats the "... Please wait" phrase to alert the user that it
is still busy. When the remaining voice templates have been created, the device says, "Finished creating
voice templates." The device then goes to sleep. You can begin the task by pressing the Play/Pause button.
You can expect the device to beep for approximately two minutes after all of the vocabulary words have
been spoken. If the operator presses any of the device's buttons during this time period, the device says,
"Creating voice templates. Please wait."
