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.
General Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when working with Honeywell electrical 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.
