Chapter 1
Introduction
The Vocollect Hardware Documentation and Product Guides contain comprehensive information about
hardware products and peripherals.
This document includes the following information:
• Safety information
• Hardware specifications
• Installation procedures, and basic operating instructions for Vocollect hardware and/or third party devices
that are compatible with Vocollect software
• Part numbers
• Regulatory and compliance statements
• Troubleshooting guidance
Audience
This document is intended to be used as a reference resource by authorized resellers, sales representatives,
customers, and users of the hardware.
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 A700 Product Family, 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, depending on device type, 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, A500, and A700-series 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.
Confidential: For informational use by Honeywell resellers and customers only
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 device unless it has been properly powered off.
• Talkman devices are designed to be worn on the right side of the body with the device's buttons on the
top (T5-series, T2-series, A500, A700-series) or facing front (T1) and its connectors toward the operator’s
back (A500, T5-series, T2-series, A700-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.
• Honeywell recommends changing headset windscreens every 90 days to ensure the best performance.
Caution: Use only a solution of 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water to clean the hard plastics on
equipment. Other products have not been tested and may degrade the equipment.

• Grounded equipment must be plugged into an outlet, properly installed, and grounded in accordance with
all codes and ordinances.
• Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way.
• Do not use plug adapters.
•Check with an approved tester or qualified electrician if you believe an outlet may not be properly grounded.
• Keep all electrical connections dry and off the ground.
• Do not expose electrical equipment to rain or wet conditions.
• Do not touch plugs or tools with wet hands.
• Do not abuse the cords; do not carry equipment by its cord and never pull a cord to remove its plug from
an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately.
• Use only approved extension cords.
When using a scanning device or imager, do not look directly into the beam.
Statement of Agency Compliance
Honeywell Vocollect Solutions devices and wireless headsets are designed to be compliant with the rules
and regulations in the locations into which they are sold and are labeled as required. Honeywell devices are
type approved and do not require the user to obtain license or authorization before using them. Changes or
modifications not expressly approved by Honeywell could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Battery Warm-Up Time
If a battery has been used in a cold environment, it will not begin charging until it warms up sufficiently.
Approximate warm-up timeTemperature of battery use
6 minutes-4°C (24.8°F)
10 minutes-10°C (14.0°F)
22 minutes-20°C (-4°F)
30 minutes-30°C (-22°F)
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 to
VoiceConsole.
1. Create a device profile in VoiceConsole.
You can set the device profile as a "default profile," which automatically loads to any bare-platform devices.
The devices must be in standby mode and connected to VoiceConsole.
Note: The Talkman A500 model TT-802 ships as a bare-platform device. It does not have Vocollect
voice software—VoiceCatalyst or VoiceClient—preloaded.
2. In the Advanced Device Settings text box, type this parameter: "distributable"="1"
The value of "1" marks the device profile as one that can be shared with other devices using the serial
connection between bays in the T5/A500 charger. If this parameter is not placed in the device profile or
if its value is set to zero, the device profile will not be shared.
3. Follow the instructions in the VoiceConsole online help for completing the device profile.
4. Use a serial cable to load this profile to a single device.
Note: If the device profile you are loading is configured for use with static IP addresses, all the devices
will have the same IP address.

Easy Configuration: Bringing Additional T5, T5m, and A500 Devices Online
A single device has been configured using the Easy Configuration Initial Setup instructions and VoiceConsole
Online Help. The following instructions are for configuring additional devices.
1. Place a properly configured T5, T5m, or A500 device in the transmit bay in the charger. When facing the
charger bay, the transmit bay is the first bay on the right. It is identified with an off-white latch. The other
bays have dark gray latches.
2. Place the new or repaired T5, T5m, or A500 devices in the remaining charger bays.
• The LED indicators on the unconfigured devices flash green until the devices determine that they
cannot reach VoiceConsole.
• The LED indicators flash orange as the devices attempt to connect to the network to listen for a file
broadcast.
• The LED indicators flash green briefly as the devices receive profiles from the configured device and
verify the configuration.
• The LED indicators change to solid red as the devices reboot.
• When the devices have applied the configuration file and successfully contacted VoiceConsole, the
LED indicators change to blinking green. The devices are then ready to use or can be used in another
charger to bring additional devices online.
Note: The AC power indicator at the bottom right of the charger displays alternating green and yellow
lights when Easy Configuration operations are occurring. Devices should not be removed until the
individual indicator on the device blinks green or the charger's power indicator glows solid green.

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)
or has a rotating red ring (A700), unless it has been blinking red or rotating red for several minutes.
If a device is turned off in this state, 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
• 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.

time while using the device.
Spoken CommandYou want to...
"Say again"hear the current prompt again
"Talkman sleep"put the device in sleep mode
"Talkman wake up"wake up the device
"Talkman backup"erase the previous response so you can respond to the same prompt
again (VoiceClient only)
"Talkman battery status"check the remaining charge on a Talkman A700 battery
(VoiceCatalyst 2.0 and newer only)

Options for Hearing Impaired Users
Vocollect products are designed for persons with average levels of hearing. Operators who use assistive
hearing devices may need to consider some adjustments when using Vocollect headsets in a production
warehouse environment.
Vocollect recommends experimenting with combinations of several basic changes to Talkman device operation
to improve audibility:
• Change language voices using VoiceConsole (see VoiceConsole Online Help)
• Adjust the pitch of the voice lower or higher
• Adjust the volume of the voice louder or softer
• Adjust the speed of the voice slower or faster
• Change the gender of the voice to male or female
Users may find that their assistive devices are passing through additional background noise that makes it
difficult to hear the Talkman device prompts. In this case, Vocollect recommends using a cupped headset to
help eliminate distracting input from the assistive devices.
If a user continues to have problems hearing the Talkman device after trying these options, Vocollect strongly
recommends consulting a medical professional. Hearing loss is a medical condition that requires the attention
of a qualified audiologist. The audiologist should be made aware of the options that Vocollect products offer
with pitch, volume, and sidetone so that he or she can make appropriate recommendations that may benefit
the user without possible side effects. Vocollect Technical Support can talk with the user's audiologist to
explain these options and make changes in the Talkman device configuration based on the specific
recommendations of the audiologist.
Caution: There are a variety of parameters that can further increase output levels of the Talkman device.
Vocollect does not recommend changing any of these settings in a way that increases sound output
levels without consulting a qualified audiologist. Changing these settings without qualified medical
supervision could result in additional hearding damage.
Vocollect products, and their default options, have been measured and qualified to ensure audio safety for
common work flows and for the general population. The default audio parameters should not be changed
without explicit direction from a qualified audio professional.
The Vocollect publication, Evaluating Audio Safety in Your Distribution Center, explains the importance of
maintaining audio safety in the work environment. This publication is available to Vocollect partners on
https://www.voiceworld.com.
Cleaning Procedures for Honeywell Equipment
Honeywell Vocollect Solutions products have a long service life if they are maintained properly. Follow
recommended cleaning practices.
Confidential: For informational use by Honeywell resellers and customers only
26 | Vocollect Talkman A500 Product Guide
While Honeywell 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 and degrade performance over
time.
• Dirt or corrosion can prevent the proper seating of terminals in chargers and may cause intermittent
charging.
• 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 can cause the membrane to weaken and tear.
Caution: Use only a solution of 70% isopropyl alcohol and water to clean equipment. Other products
have not been tested and may degrade the equipment.
Cleaning Plastics
Cleaning Hard Plastics
Clean the hard plastics on headsets, devices, chargers, and batteries with a soft cloth that is wet with a
solution of 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% 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
Clean headset foam parts (ear pads and headband pads) as well as flexible bands and non-foam padding
with a mild soap and water. Wash pads carefully so as not to tear or detach them.
Air dry the parts. Use of a concentrated heat source such as a hairdryer or clothes dryer is not recommended.
Replace pads that are excessively dirty, such as headset windscreens.
Cleaning Contacts
Clean flat contacts on the device, such as the Talkman Connector (TCO), or flat contacts on the battery and
charger with a 70% 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.
Remove corrosion 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 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.
Never bend or manipulate battery contacts.
Contact an authorized Vocollect Service Center to repair or replace contacts that are extremely corroded,
bent, or missing.

Removal of an A500/T5 VMT Device from Vehicle
Talkman A500/T5 VMT components are designed for easy removal for occasional vehicle service, maintenance
or flexible operational needs.
Caution: Vocollect does not recommend removing the cables (CM-710-101, CM-710-102) from the
battery adapter except when required for occasional service (i.e. once per month at maximum). Excessive
removal of these cables may damage the adapter and cable. This type of use is not covered under
warranty or service plans as it is unintended product use that is specifically not recommended.
1. Release the battery adapter from the device.
2. Dock the battery adapter in the side of the VMT holder.
This leaves the device free to be removed and the battery adapter and cable docked and protected.
Caution: The battery adapter should remain cabled and docked when not in use to prevent cable
damage or accidental contact of the adapter contacts with metal surfaces.

VMT Installation Best Practices
Talkman devices and accessories are designed to provide reliable service when used as recommended. The
thousands of Talkman VMT equipment users around the world who have followed the best practices outlined
here are enjoying increased productivity with Talkman devices integrated on their vehicles.
•Do not remove Talkman devices from VMT configurations
Talkman VMT devices were designed and intended for easy installation. They were not designed for
frequent removal.
Vocollect recommends that Talkman devices, cables, and VMT battery adapters be left in place after they
are installed in vehicles. While these components may be removed for maintenance or temporary use in
other areas, they should not be removed as a part of regular operation.
If a Talkman device must be removed, the battery adapter remains in the battery adapter dock.
Figure 19: Battery adapter docked in VMT configuration
Caution: Frequent removal of the Talkman, battery adapter and/or cable will likely cause a premature
mechanical failure to the cable and/or battery adapter. This damage is not covered by normal product
warranty.
•Protect Talkman devices from damage
A Talkman device should be mounted on a vehicle in a location where operators can easily access Talkman
controls and where the device is well protected from bumps or damage when the vehicle is in use. While
recessed mounting offers good protection, the installer must ensure that this mounting does not interfere
with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth™connectivity of the Talkman device.

36 | Vocollect Talkman A500 Product Guide
•Consider additional options from RAM®Mounts
The Vocollect parts provided for mounting Talkman devices represent a small set of the mounting options
available from RAM Mounts (www.rammount.com). Vocollect only requires that customers purchase the
BL-710-1, vehicle mount holder for Talkman. When used with the screw-on base attachment (BL-710-102)
or other parts that use a 1" ball mounting, the VMT configuration may require additional parts that can be
purchased from RAM Mounts for an optimal installation.
Figure 21: Screw on mounting using BL-710-1 vehicle mount holder
In particular, the following standard RAM Mounts parts provide additional mounting flexibility.

•Lock parts into place if they might be moved during normal operations
The parts used for mounting the Talkman were designed for a fixed position with easy adjustment. While
unlikely, these parts may loosen over time with inadvertent impacts of daily use—especially if the mountings
have not been firmly secured or if workers attempt to adjust the mounting manually.
To prevent this issue, remove the user-adjustable handle on the arm and install a 1/4" #20 nylon lock nut
provided with the Vocollect VMT kit. The lock nut cannot be loosened by hand and resists most vibrations.
•Secure VMT cabling
The cables and wiring that connect the Talkman VMT must be well secured to the vehicle so that they do
not get caught on anything. Snagged cables could result in an accident and damage to the VMT or vehicle.
The cable pictured here will not fall out of alignment and possibly snag anything while the vehicle is in
motion. Note that there is enough slack in the cable to its right so that the battery adapter can be removed
or installed in the Talkman device.

Talkman A500 VMT | 37
Figure 22: Cables secured on a vehicle
The cable end that connects to the battery adapter should have enough length to permit easy disconnection
and docking of the battery adapter but not so much length that it could become snagged on something.
The cable may be secured to the bottom of the adapter using the two holes on the bottom of the docking
area of the adapter. If the cable is secured in this manner, use spiral cable wrap, supplied with the VMT
Talkman adapter, to provide additional protection.
Figure 23: Cables secured on a vehicle
To accomplish this mounting:
• Place approximately 2.50 inches of spiral wrap (0.25-inch outer diameter) on the yellow cable with its
midpoint at 9 or 10 inches from the cable end connector.
• Using a cable tie (maximum 0.1 inch wide), attach the wrapped section of the cable to the RAM cradle
using the holes on the bottom of the adapter docking area as shown.
Cabling inside of the vehicle to the battery adapter should also be secured and maintained neatly to prevent
cable travel and accidental damage or shorting. Cables should be kept clear of any articulating members.
The full range of articulation should be exercised to ensure that any vehicular operation will not physically
compromise the cables.

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 A700 series, 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
Figure 24: T5/A500 10-Bay Combination Charger
• The T5/A500 10-Bay Combination Charger can store five devices at a time and any combination of T5,
T5mand A500 device models.
• The charger can store and charge ten batteries - five batteries in the upper battery slots and five batteries
connected to devices in the lower device slots.
• The charger can also share one device's configuration with other devices being charged at the same time.
Confidential: For informational use by Honeywell resellers and customers only
• The T5/A500 charger may be fixed to a wall using the available wall mount kit.
Note: Do not place a device into a charger without a battery attached to it.
If a device that has been on and in use for more than eight hours will automatically power off and then
back on after it has been in the charger for five minutes. Also, a device that has been in a charger for
more than eight hours will automatically power off and then back on.
T5/A500 Single-Bay Combination Charger
• A T5/A500 Single-Bay Combination Charger is also available. It includes one battery slot and one device
slot. The charger can store one device at a time and store and charge up to two batteries at a time - one
battery in the upper slot and one battery in the device in the lower slot.
Connecting the Power Supply to the T5/A500 Combination Charger
1. Connect the AC cord to the left end of the power supply that is mounted inside the charger.
2. Route the cable through the plastic clips as shown.
Figure 25: Cable Routed Through Plastic Clips
3. Push the clips to lock the cord in place.
T5/A500 Combination Charger Wall Mount
This unit provides a convenient surface for mounting the T5/A500 10-Bay Combination Charger and its power
supply on a wall.
• Customer assembly required.
• Be aware of potential hazards (electrical wires, waterlines, etc.) when drilling the pilot holes.
• Customer assumes all responsibility for the installation of these units.
• A device charger cannot have another charger placed directly above it. A section of dry-erase board
(included) must be placed above each device charger.
• If you drill into a wall stud when drilling a pilot hole for one of the anchors, do not use an anchor with that
hole.
• The lowest anchor for each extrusion must be a minimum of 12 inches from the floor.
• Avoid blocking power outlets and other wall receptacles when installing the extrusions and charger unit.

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.
A500/T5-Series Charger LED Indicators
The upper pair of indicators applies to the charger's battery slots. The lower pair applies to the device slots.
The LED conditions described here apply to the lower pair.
Note: If there is no device in the charger or if the device in the charger does not have a battery and one
of these conditions occurs,disconnect the charger from its power source for about five seconds, then
reconnect the charger. If the condition persists, return the charger for service.

Troubleshooting Equipment Problems
Sometimes you will not see an LED indicator change or hear an error message, but will see some other sign
of trouble. Find the description below that most accurately describes what you see. Follow the steps in
sequence until the issue is resolved; start with the first option and see if that solves your problem before
moving on to the second. If none of the listed steps resolve the problem, contact Vocollect to send the
equipment back for repair or to speak with a support representative.
I Can't Hear Anything Through the Headset
1. Make sure the device has a fully charged battery.
2. Make sure the headset is properly connected to the device.
3. Try the headset on a device that is not having problems.
4. Try a different headset on the device with the problem.
5. Turn the device off and then back on again.
6. Reboot the device.
7. If you are using an SRX or SRX2 headset, make sure your headset is paired with your device.
8. If the headset is broken, send it back to Vocollect for repair.
The Scanner will not Scan
These steps apply to bar code scanners external to the Talkman device and not the integrated scanner in
the Talkman A730.
1. Make sure the scanner is on, plugged into the Talkman device properly, and that the battery is charged.
2. Make sure the Talkman device is on, the battery is charged, and that it is running voice process software
(task or voice application) that is set up for scanning.
3. Using VoiceConsole, verify that the task is set up to use the port “BT_SCAN” for its scanning connection
in the advanced settings of the task package.
4. Check the Talkman device in VoiceConsole. If the “Peripherals Paired With” status indicates “searching,”
verify that the correct Bluetooth address was entered. Correct the entry if necessary by following the initial
procedure to set up the connection.
5. If the scanner beeps several times after a scan, it is not connected. Verify the connection with the Talkman.
6. If the scanner appears to scan and beeps once (indicating successful scan) but Talkman does not appear
to accept input, assure that the task termination characters are the default (CR/LF). If not, the scanner or
task may need to be reprogrammed to match.
7. If a scan was attempted while the Talkman was asleep, the Talkman may ignore all subsequent scans.
Toggling the Talkman on/off will typically correct this condition.
8. Try connecting the scanner to a different device.
9. If the scanner is damaged, send it back to Honeywell for repair.

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.
Confidential: For informational use by Honeywell resellers and customers only
Troubleshooting Equipment Problems | 47
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.

About Sending Equipment Back for Repairs
Important:
• Only equipment purchased directly from Honeywell can be returned to Honeywell for repairs.
•If you purchased Honeywell equipment — for example, a headset in the SR-Series — from a Honeywell
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.
Honeywell 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, Honeywell may issue RMAs for other reasons, such as the following:
• The product belongs to Honeywell. Honeywell may have loaned the product to a customer or provided it
as a sample.
• Honeywell requested that the customer return the item, perhaps for testing.
• A Honeywell employee at the customer site has determined that the product should go back to Honeywell
for some other reason.
• Exchange — for example, an incorrect item was shipped or the wrong size of belt was ordered.
Some Honeywell customers have service contracts with repair depots to perform repairs on Honeywell
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 Honeywell
Note: Properly packaged RMA items facilitate faster repair and return of Honeywell products. Honeywell
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.
Confidential: For informational use by Honeywell resellers and customers only
58 | Vocollect Talkman A500 Product Guide
• 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 ACSHSMVocollectRMA@honeywell.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 Honeywell.
4. Package the equipment according to the packaging instructions.
5. Address the shipping label to: Honeywell, 4250 Old William Penn Highway Monroeville, PA 15146-1622
RMA
Troubleshooting VMT Configurations
The following procedures are for fault determination with Vehicle Mount Talkman (VMT) when powered by
the vehicle power system. These 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:
Confidential: For informational use by Honeywell resellers and customers only
Troubleshooting Equipment Problems | 59
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.
• 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.

Visual Training Devices
Figure 37: Pidion BM-170 and QTERM-G55
• Visual training devices enable operators to read the words that they need to say during the enrollment
training process.
• Vocollect recommends using a browser-based mobile display with Talkman A500 or A700 devices, and
the QTERM-G55 with Talkman T5 or T2x devices.
• These devices have a liquid-crystal screen that displays words that an operator needs to train. Operators
are more likely to speak in their normal conversational tone when reading the words than when hearing
the device say the words during training.
• Vocollect provides a cable with a connector so that the QTERM device can be attached to the red port on
the device.
•Supporting documentation and software for the QTERM visual training device is available for free download
on the manufacturer’s website. Please refer to this site for all supplemental product information such as
the user manual, specifications, data sheet, tutorials, and accompanying software.
Note: In order to use QTERM devices with a Thai TTS, you must use a QTERM-G55 running device
software version 3.1 or newer. After connecting the QTERM, verify you have the correct software by
checking debug logs for the message "TRAIN DEVICE: Device query detected training device G55
using v3.1." If you do not see this message, you do not have the correct software, and you must obtain
it to use the device with a Thai TTS.

Vocollect recommends using a browser-based mobile display with Talkman A500 or A700 devices, and the
QTERM-G55 with Talkman T5 or T2x devices.
Note: In order to use QTERM devices with a Thai TTS, you must use a QTERM-G55 running device
software version 3.1 or newer. After connecting the QTERM, verify you have the correct software by
checking debug logs for the message "TRAIN DEVICE: Device query detected training device G55 using
v3.1." If you do not see this message, you do not have the correct software, and you must obtain it to use
the device with a Thai TTS.
1. Be sure the training device is configured.
2. Connect the training device to your Talkman device.
3. Turn your Talkman device on by pressing the Play/Pause button.
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."
Confidential: For informational use by Honeywell resellers and customers only
Template Training Options | 75
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 with VoiceClient 3.5 and newer and VoiceCatalyst
MP 1.0 and 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 a Device and
an Operator in the VoiceConsole online help for more information.
Training Using a Printed List of Words
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.
Note: This method is supported when using VoiceConsole 3.1 or newer.
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.
