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
Page 17
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.
Page 18
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.
Page 22
| 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.

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
Page 24
| 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).

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://
www.voiceworld.com.

Talkman A700 VMT Installation Guide
The A700 Vehicle Mount Talkman (VMT) is an A700 device with a dock mounted to a vehicle, such as a forklift or
motorized pallet jack. After the device is mounted, the dock is connected to the vehicle’s power source.
Page 55
Talkman devices in this configuration may use any wired or wireless equipment (headsets, scanners, etc.). Honeywell
sells the complete solution including mounting kits and power systems to enable any Talkman A700 devices to be
used in an A700 VMT configuration.
Warning: DO NOT LOOK AT THE DEVICE WHILE OPERATING MACHINERY. Such a distraction
could cause an accident resulting in bodily injury to the operator and others.
This step-by-step guide shows how to install the Talkman A700 VMT in a vehicle.
Please refer to the A700 VMT Installation Best Practices on page 64 for further guidance.
Talkman A700 VMT Mounting Options
The Talkman A700 VMT is designed to be installed using RAM® Mounting Systems hardware. Honeywell supplies
a mounting bracket for the A700 and mounting hardware from RAM Mounting Systems. Additional hardware
mounting bracket options can be purchased directly from RAM Mounting Systems (www.ram-mount.com) to
customize the installation.
Important: The A700 VMT must be mounted to a sturdy surface.
The Screw On Mount is bolted to a stationary surface on
a vehicle.

Remove the A700 VMT from the Vehicle
Talkman A700 VMT components are designed for easy removal for occasional vehicle service, maintenance or
flexible operational needs. The Talkman A700 may be easily removed by sliding the device out of the dock and
replaced by sliding it back in. Care should be taken to assure that the contacts of the Talkman A700 device are on the
underside and facing so they engage with the contacts of the vehicle dock.
The dock may be easily disconnected from the CM-904-101 power cable and RAM mount should the vehicle be taken
out of service or need to be cleaned. The BL-904 dock should never be exposed to jets of waters such as that used in
cleaning vehicles.
| Talkman A700 | 64
CAUTION: Honeywell does not recommend removing the cable (CM-904-101) from the dock except when
required for occasional service, or once per month maximum. Excessive removal of the cable can cause
damage to the dock and cable that is not covered under warranty or service plans.
A700 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 A700 devices from VMT configurations
Talkman VMT devices were designed and intended for easy installation. They were not designed for frequent
removal.
The exception is the Talkman A730 which was designed to be removed from the holster for occasional scanning,
not to exceed approximately six times per hour. Even if the A730 is not being removed for scanning, it requires a
battery for backup power.
Note: Honeywell does not support configurations of the A700 without a battery.
Honeywell recommends that Talkman devices and cables 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.
Warning: Frequent removal of the Talkman or cable will likely cause a premature mechanical failure to
the cable or dock. 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.
Page 65
| Talkman A700 | 65
Figure 8: Mount locations protected by vehicles but open
for good wireless reception (showing Talkman A500)
CAUTION: Do not mount the device in the driver's area of the vehicle or areas where it can distract the
driver.
•Consider additional options from RAM® Mounts In particular, the following standard RAM Mounts parts
provide additional mounting flexibility.
Part DescriptionPart NumberUsageImage
Double 1" ball adapterRAM-B-230UThe adapter offers more
articulation to maneuver
and position the Talkman
device in a protected area
of the vehicle.
Double socket arm B Ball
A length
•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.
CAUTION: Separate the cabling from other wiring in the vehicle and ensure that it is routed away from
sharp edges.
RAM-B-201U-AThis arm and other arm
lengths offer options for
the best vehicle fit.

Collecting Platform Debug Logs from A700 Devices
When you connect an A700 device to your Windows PC, the PC will search for a USB driver to install. If the PC is
configured to search for drivers online and the connection succeeds, the driver will install automatically and the A700
device will be ready to use. If the automatic installation fails, follow these steps.
1.
Using a standard USB cable, connect the device to a computer.
2.
Power on the device.
3.
On your computer, run a serial terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal, using the following settings:
•Bits per Second: 57600
•Data Bits: 8
•Parity: None
•Stop Bits: 1
•Flow Control: None
The device transfers platform logs 30 seconds after connection and then once a minute after that. The results are
viewable within the serial terminal emulator window.

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.
Page 88
•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.

with the following specifications: Number of conductors = 3, Gauge of wire = 16, Temperature = -40C to 90C
•Cable ties
CAUTION: General Guidelines for Routing Electrical Cables
•The vehicle must be off and the vehicle's battery must be disconnected.
•Cables should be kept clear of surfaces that may become hot.
•Cables should not be run such that they can get caught on moving parts.
•Cables should not be run on the outside of a vehicle.
•Cables should not have 90 degree turns, the minimum bend radius should not be less than one inch
•To remove slack on a cable it should be coiled up and secured inside the vehicle with a cable tie.
•For maximum safety fuses should be located as close as possible to the power source.
•To protect the A500/T5 VMT from power surges and to perform voltage conversion a converter module is
fitted between the A500/T5 VMT and the forklift battery.

•Three spade connectors
Page 96
| Talkman A500 | 96
•Four small cable ties
•Fasteners
Honeywell recommends choosing unswitched power as the source for the power supply. This will allow Talkman
devices to be powered for software updates as well as prevent Talkman devices from accidentally being unpowered if
the vehicle is quickly switched off unintentionally.
1.
Remove all power sources from the vehicle.
2.
Remove any excess length from the input cable that comes from the power supply.
3.
Connect the fuses to the cable near to the battery end of the cable. Remove approximately 4 inches of the outer
insulation from the cable.
4.

tool.
6.
Connect the green wire to the vehicle's ground.
7.
Connect the fused white wire to the vehicle’s positive power source using an appropriate connector. This may
need to be crimped onto the wire.
8.
Connect the fused black wire to the vehicle’s negative power source using an appropriate connector. This may
need to be crimped onto the wire.
9.
Attach the power supply as shown in the following diagram.

Secure the wires with cable ties.
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.
Page 97
CAUTION: Honeywell does not recommend removing the cables (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 A500 devices from VMT configurations
Talkman VMT devices were designed and intended for easy installation. They were not designed for frequent
removal.
| Talkman A500 | 97
The A730 was designed to be removed from the holster for occasional scanning, not to exceed approximately
six times per hour. Even if the A730 is not being removed for scanning, it requires a battery for backup power.
Honeywell does not support configurations of the A700 without a battery.
Honeywell 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 41: 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.
Page 98
Figure 42: Mount locations protected by vehicles but open for good wireless reception
CAUTION: Do not mount the device in the driver's area of the vehicle or areas where it can distract the
driver.
•Consider additional options from RAM® Mounts
The Honeywell parts provided for mounting Talkman devices represent a small set of the mounting options
available from RAM Mounts (www.rammount.com). Honeywell 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.
| Talkman A500 | 98
Figure 43: Screw on mounting using BL-710-1 vehicle mount holder
In particular, the following standard RAM Mounts parts provide additional mounting flexibility.

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.
CAUTION: Separate the cabling from other wiring in the vehicle and ensure that it is routed away from
sharp edges.
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.
Figure 44: 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 45: 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.
Page 100
•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.
Accessories
Honeywell offers a variety of accessories for wearing, protecting, and facilitating the operations of Talkman and other
devices.
Handheld and other devices may require specific cables in order to use Honeywell accessories, such as headsets. See
the release notes for the Vocollect Voice software for your device for more information.
