Talkman devices are voice-directed wearable computers. The Talkman T1 has
been specifically designed for light-duty, light-industrial en vironments. Operators
listen to instructions to perform tasks such as warehouse order picking and
factory floor inspection, and then speak simple phrases to enter data. Talkman
T1 device is a lighter, lower-cost alternative to the T2- and T5-series wearable
computers. It is intended for work in areas where you don't require an extremely
rugged device.
T alkman T5-series and T2-series de vices attach to a customized belt or shoulder
harness equipped with a specially designed clip. T alkman T1 de vices are inserted
into a customized holster with belt clip. This leaves the operator's hands free to
inspect items, pick product, or repair defects. A 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.
A Talkman T5e Mobile Computer, External Antenna is a T5 device with a
battery adapter 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 T5
device and connected to the vehicle’s power source.
• Talkman wearable computers 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.
• Never remove the battery from a Talkman unless it has been properly
powered off.
• Vocollect designed the Talkman to be worn on the right side of the body
with the wearable computer’s buttons on the top (T5-series and T2-series)
or facing front (T1) and its connectors toward the operator’ s back (T5-series
and T2-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.
• When the Talkman is not in use, it should be placed properly into a charger.
• A “Proper Use and Care” document has been provided with your order which
contains important handling instructions for the T1’s headset, the SL-4. If
you do not have this document, users should contact their Vocollect Regional
OpenTopic | Talkman® Devices | 17
Sales Manager Representative or Vocollect Reseller for additional copies
of this important document.
• Use an isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol) swab or soft cloth dampened with
isopropyl alcohol to clean metal connection points. If dirt or residue cannot
be removed with the alcohol swab or cloth, use a soft, non-abrasive rubber
eraser to clean metal connection points. You also can use a three-row
toothbrush style, general 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.
Important:
• These instructions are for the T2- and T5-series devices only.
• Use only isopropyl alcohol. Do not use any other cleaning solvent.
• If using an eraser, it 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 connectors.

If the wearable computer's software detects no device activity for a specified length of time, it po wers of f automatically.
Powering Off Due to Low Battery Levels
If the wearable computer's software detects that the current battery level is critically low, it powers off automatically.
Booting a Wearable Computer After Powering Off
If a wearable computer 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
• Transfers any output data records to the host that had not been sent prior to powering off
• Transfers any lookup tables to the wearable computer that had not been recei v ed from the host prior to po wering of f
Forced Reset
This type of reset is invok ed by removing the battery from the wearable computer without properly po wering it of f first.
Caution: Perform a forced reset only as a last resort. If you reboot a wearable computer in this manner:
• the contents of its memory, including any data collected, will be lost
OpenTopic | Talkman® Devices | 23
• the wearable computer starts over at the beginning of the task
• if you are in the process of retraining vocabulary , the wearable computer will send all v ocabulary 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 wearable computer 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.

been transmitted to the host computer).
• If you say "Say again" more than once, the device continues to repeat the last thing it said (that is, the current
prompt) again and again. It will not back up any further than the previous prompt.
Pairing a T5 Wearable Computer and a Bluetooth® Device
Note: Currently, you can associate one printer and/or one bar code reader to the same Talkman T5. You cannot
associate multiple printers or bar code readers to a single wearable computer.
Pairing a T5 With the Metrologic MS9535:T5 Is the Initiator
1. In VoiceConsole, follow the instructions for creating a pairing and setting the bar code reader as the acceptor. See
VoiceConsole's Help for details.
2. Scan the Code 128 bar code (3000CA7000000). See the documentation that came with the Metrologic 9535 for
details.
3. Place the T5 and bar code reader close together. The T5 associates with the bar code reader. A low-tone/high-tone
beep from the bar code reader indicates a successful association.
Note: If a bar code reader goes out of communication range with the T5, it may un-pair from the T5 device. You
will hear a high-tone/low-tone beep. Move the bar code reader closer to the T5 to reassociate the bar code reader
with the T5. You will hear a low-tone/high-tone beep when they pair.
