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.

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.
