Lithium Ion Battery Safety Procedures in Industrial Environments
A dent or mechanical crush of the outer plastic shell of the device or battery could compromise the device creating an
internal short circuit.
If a device experiences a mechanical crushing event or is suspected or appears to have experienced a mechanical
crushing event, do the following:
The device is in a flammable area or next to flammable materials
Warning: DO NOT PICK UP THE DEVICE OR PUT IT ON YOUR BODY. Lithium Ion cells that have
been crushed can experience an internal short, causing the cells to overheat. It can take several minutes for the
cells to reach temperatures high enough to overheat. An overheating lithium ion cell can often be detected by
a hissing sound or the bulging of the cell(s).
1.
Put on safety glasses.
2.
Slide the device away from flammable materials using a long stick or broom handle. Stay at least 6 feet away from
the device.
3.
If step 2 isn’t possible, dump a bucket of sand on the damaged device.
4.
Wait a minimum of 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, dispose of the device and the battery in accordance with your
local codes for disposal of hazardous goods.
CAUTION: Do NOT attempt to charge a battery that appears damaged in any way. Use a replacement
battery instead.
Warning: If a lithium ion device is on fire, you must only use a Class D fire extinguisher. DO NOT USE
WATER as water can react with the lithium and release highly flammable hydrogen gas.
The device is in a non-flammable area and away from flammable materials
Warning: DO NOT PICK UP THE DEVICE OR PUT IT ON YOUR BODY. Lithium Ion cells that have
been crushed can experience an internal short, causing the cells to overheat. It can take several minutes for the
cells to reach temperatures high enough to overheat. An overheating lithium ion cell can often be detected by
a hissing sound or the bulging of the cell(s).
1.
Put on safety glasses.
2.
Stay away from the device for at least 30 minutes. Keep others away from the device as well.
3.
After 30 minutes, dispose of the device and battery in accordance with your local codes for disposal of hazardous
goods.
CAUTION: Do NOT attempt to charge a battery that appears damaged in any way. Use a replacement
battery instead.
Cleaning Procedures for Honeywell Equipment
Honeywell Solutions products have a long service life if they are maintained properly. Follow recommended cleaning
practices.
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.
| Introduction | 17
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.
Related tasks
Cleaning Headsets on page 165
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 Honeywell Service Center to repair or replace contacts that are extremely corroded, bent, or
missing.

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.
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 Honeywell 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.
| Talkman Devices and Headsets | 22
•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, A700series) 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 Honeywell 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.
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 differs depending on the device being used.
Device TypeIndicator
A700 seriesThe ring is yellow and rotates, then the ring segment
turns solid green.
T2 series, T5 series and A500First turns solid red while the processor reboots. It then
flashes red and green, turns solid, blinks red, then turns
solid green.
T1Turns solid green
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.
| Talkman Devices and Headsets | 23
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)
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
| Talkman Devices and Headsets | 24
•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), solid green (T1), or have a solid green ring segment or a
rotating green ring (A700).

Adjusting the Voice
Each Vocollect Talkman device uses Vocollect Voice software to provide instructions to the operator and prompt him
or her for responses.
| Talkman Devices and Headsets | 25
The actual voice that speaks to the operator can be adjusted in several ways so that the operator can hear and
understand the information clearly.
•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
Before making any changes to the voice:
Make sure the device is on or sleeping. The LED indicator should be either solid green or blinking green (A500, T5series and T2-series), solid green (T1), or have a solid green ring segment or a rotating green ring (A700).

Understanding Talkman Commands
The Talkman device prompts the operator for responses that are specific to the voice-directed work he or she is
performing. Several basic Talkman commands, however, can be spoken by the operator at almost any time while
using the device.
You want to...Spoken Command

Options for Hearing Impaired Users
Honeywell products are designed for persons with average levels of hearing. Operators who use assistive hearing
devices may need to consider some adjustments when using Honeywell headsets in a production warehouse
environment.
Honeywell 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, Honeywell 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, Honeywell 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 Honeywell 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. Honeywell 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.
Honeywell 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.
Honeywell 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 Honeywell publication, Evaluating Audio Safety in Your Distribution Center, explains the importance of
maintaining audio safety in the work environment. This publication is available to Honeywell partners on https://
