Charging the Battery
When you first receive your Ta1kman terminal from the factory,
charge the Ta1kman battery by placing it in the battery charger. It is a
good idea to do this now so it can charge while you get started. ( S ee
Chapter 6, ('Maintaining T a/kman Batteries, 'J for information on how to
charge the battery. To ensure continued peak performance, you
should charge the battery after each shift the Talkman is used.
~.
~!1-
The Cradle
After initial setup, place the Talkman terminal in its cradle. The
Talkman terminal should be placed in the cradle any time it is not
being used to collect data by an operator. This allows the Talkman
terminal to send or receive data with the host computer while idle.
See Chapter 6, "Maintaining Talkman Batteries," for help on how to
place the Talkman terminal in its cradle.

The Talkman terminal is used to collect data or perform warehouse
operations, like order picking. You wear the Talkman terminal on a
belt around your waist. You wear a headset with a microphone to
hear the Talkman terminal's instructions or questions, and to talk to
the Talkman terminal.

Headset Connector
The headset connection is where you plug the headset with
microphone into the Talkman terminal. It has a diagram of a headset
above it as well as a yellow ring around it. The bend relief on the
headset will also be yellow. The connector, called a Lemo, is keyed
to allow you to only insert the headset correctly. See Chapter 3,
"Getting the Talkman Terminal Ready" for information on how to
connect the headset to this connector.
R5-232 Input Device Connector
The RS-232 input device connector has a diagram of a bar code gun

Speaker Connector
The speaker connector allows you to hook up an amplified speaker
with at least SK impedance to a Talkman terminal. Connecting a
speaker will allow others to hear the Talkman terminal while you are
wearing the headset. There is a diagram of a speaker beside it as a
reminder. (I'he Wireless Audio Training Device also connects here.)
The battery compartment (Fig. 2-3) is where to connect the battery
or the battery housing assembly ( S ee A.vpendix: Battery Housing
AJJembfy). The Talkman terminal needs a charged battery to run.
Refer to Chapter 6, "Maintaining Talkman Batteries" for additional
information on the battery.

Battery
The Talkman terminal uses a standard camcorder battery that inserts
in the Talkman battery compartment. The battery must be charged
after each shift. When the battery needs to be charged, you connect
it to the battery charger. The Talkman terminal will not collect data
unless the battery is charged and conne:cted. For information on
how to charge the battery, see Chapter 6, "Maintaining Talkman
Batteries."

R5-232 Input Device
The Talkman temliru1l can accept data from an RS-232 device, such as a
bar code reader. This device will be c,::>nnected to the RS-232 device
connector on the Talkman terminal. :See Chapter 5, !lRS-232 Input
Devices," for more information.
Display (PC screen or other display)
A display is used primarily during voic(: training, although you can
also collect data in display mode (usually for new applications to test
them). You use a display, such as a PC screen, to read the words the
Talkman terminal needs you to speak, :md that are specific to your
task. A display is optional, but highly r(~commended.
