Cleaning Procedures for Vocollect Equipment
Vocollect products have a long service life if they are maintained properly. Proper care includes following
recommended cleaning practices and procedures.
While Vocollect 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 over time. Users may
begin to experience degraded product performance and diminished product life. For example:
• Dirt or corrosion that interferes with the proper seting of terminals in chargers may cause intermittent
charging and appear to be a battery problem.
• Wet 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 may contain a high concentration of chemicals that can cause
the membrane to weaken and tear.
When equipment is visibly retaining dirt from the workplace, Vocollect recommends that it be cleaned.
Cleaning Plastics
While Vocollect equipment is resistant to normal residue from the workplace environment, a long term build-up
of residue from the workplace may damage it and lead to degraded performance and diminished product life.
Caution: Use only a solution of 30% isopropyl alcohol and water to clean the hard plastics on
equipment. Other products have not been tested and may degrade the equipment.
Cleaning Hard Plastics
The hard plastics on headsets, devices, chargers, and batteries should be cleaned with a soft cloth that
is wet with a solution of 30% isopropyl alcohol and 70% 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
Headset foam parts (ear pads and headband pads) as well as flexible bands and non-foam padding may
be cleaned with a mild soap and water. The pads should be washed carefully so as not to tear them or
detach them from mountings.
The parts should be air dried. Use of a concentrated heat source such as a hairdryer or clothes dryer is
not recommended.
Pads that are excessively dirty, such as headset windscreens should be replaced.
Cleaning Contacts
While Vocollect equipment is resistant to normal residue from the workplace environment, a long term build-up
of residue from the workplace may damage it and lead to degraded performance and diminished product life.
Caution: Vocollect recommends using only a solution of 30% isopropyl alcohol and water to cleaning
equipment. Other products have not been tested and may degrade the equipment.
Flat contact areas on the device, such as the Talkman Connector (TCO), or flat contacts on the battery
and charger should be cleaned with the recommended 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.

18 | Vocollect Hardware Documentation
Corrosion may be removed 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 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.
Battery contacts must never be bent or manipulated.
Contacts that are extremely corroded, bent, or missing should be repaired or replaced by an authorized
Vocollect Service Center.

Chapter 2
Talkman Devices and Headsets
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 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 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 and A500 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 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 unless it has been properly powered off.
• Vocollect designed the Talkman to be worn on the right side of the body with the device's buttons on
the top (T5-series, T2-series, A500) or facing front (T1) and its connectors toward the operator’s back
(A500, T5-series, 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.
• Always use pads and windscreens with Vocollect headsets to protect the equipment and ensure
optimum speech recognition performance.
• Vocollect recommends changing headset windscreens every 90 days to ensure the best performance.
Caution: Use only a solution of 30% isopropyl alcohol and 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 first turns solid red while the processor reboots. It then flashes red and green,
turns solid, blinks red, then turns solid green (A500, T5-series and T2-series) or the LED indicator
turns solid green (T1).
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.
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), unless it has been blinking red for several minutes. If a device is turned off when
its LED indicator is blinking red, 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
Confidential: For informational use by Vocollect Resellers and customers only
Page 24
Talkman Devices and Headsets | 23
• 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) or solid green
(T1).
1. Press the Operator button.
The device says "Current operator is operator name. Select menu item."
2. Press the + button or — button until the device says, "Change operator."
3. Press the Operator button.
4. The device says, "Please wait" and retrieves a list of operators and teams. Wait for the device to say,
"Select team".
• If the device says "Current operator is (operator name). Change operator", skip to step 8.
5. Press the + button or — button to scroll through the list of operator teams until you hear the name
of a team to which you belong.
6. Press the operator button.
The device says, "Please wait" and retrieves a list of all operators who belong to the team that was
selected. The device then says, "Current operator is (operator name). Select new operator."
7. Press the + button or — button to scroll through the list of available operator names until you hear
your name.
• If you do not hear your name, press the yellow play/pause button to cancel this operation and start
over from step 2.
• When selecting a team in step 5, choose the "All Operators" team.
• Consult with your supervisor if you are not listed in the "All Operators" team.
8. Press the operator button.
The device says, "Loading operator" and loads your templates. Once it has loaded your templates,
the device says, "Current operator is (your operator name). Good night." The device then goes to sleep.
The next time you turn the device on, it will be ready to use.

Pairing the Socket Cordless Ring Scanner with a Talkman T5
During use, it is possible for the scanner to disconnect from the device if the communication link is
disrupted. When the scanner is setup so that the device initiates the connection, the device typically
recovers the connection automatically. When the scanner initiates the connection, it typically requires
the press of a button to activate and recover the connection..
The Bluetooth connection between the Socket®Cordless Ring Scanner (CRS) and a Talkman T5 is
managed through VoiceConsole. See VoiceConsole Help for details on the use of Bluetooth with Vocollect
Voice systems.
Note that Each CRS has a unique Bluetooth address that is clearly labeled on the underside of the
wrist-worn Bluetooth transmitter and battery pack. This address is needed to associate a CRS with a
T5.
Because a T5 will be explicitly associated with a specific CRS via VoiceConsole, Vocollect strongly
recommends clearly labeling the CRS wrist units to identify them with the specific T5 to which they are
paired. A clear identification and operational procedure for keeping specific scanners associated with
specific Talkman T-Series devices will be beneficial in the work environment.
Connecting the CRS to the Talkman T5 Device
The Socket Cordless Ring Scanner, with scanner part number ending in REV D, can be paired with a
T5-series device where the scanner acts as the initiator.
You must have access to VoiceConsole to set up the pairing. For production use, Vocollect recommends
that you create a specific device profile in VoiceConsole to store many of the following settings.
1. In VoiceConsole, select Bluetooth scanner as the pairing type for the device you want to pair with
the scanner. For the Connection Mode, select Device listens for peripheral connection. See VoiceConsole
Help for details.
2. Create a bar code using Symbology Code 128 in the following form, where AABBCCDDEEFF is the
Bluetooth MAC address found on the T5: #FNIAABBCCDDEEFF#
a) Bar codes can be created at a Web site such as www.barcoding.com/upc.
3. Turn on the Socket CRS and the T5.
4. Scan the bar code you created.
The scanner beeps and begins flashing rapidly. It is now searching for the device.
5. Place the scanner and device closely together to pair.
The Bluetooth LED on the scanner blinks once every four seconds to indicate that the scanner and
device have paired.

a power source.
2. If this is the initial use, allow the scanner to charge for several hours before use.
3. Set the Vocollect task with the following options: no parity, 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, CR/LF termination,
word length 8, and keep-power-on.
4. Use barcode software to generate a barcode for pairing the Vocollect T2x Bluetooth Serial Adapter
and Honeywell reader dynamically. Scanning this barcode will program the scanner to associate with
this specific serial adapter.
Note: If a bar code reader goes out of communication range with the Talkman device, it may un-pair
from the Talkman device. You will hear a high-tone/low-tone beep. Move the bar code reader closer
to the Talkman to reassociate the bar code reader with the Talkman device. You will hear a

Belts and Belt Clips
Operators wear devices on a customized belt that is purchased from Vocollect. The device is attached to
the belt with a specially designed clip or holster.
The clip is attached to the Vocollect belt at the beginning of a shift. The operator can attach the device
to and remove the device from the clip as often as necessary throughout the shift. Vocollect sells three
types of mounting clips:
Figure 63: Belt with Clip
• T2 Series Slim Blue Belt Clip: connects a devi ceto the customized belt.
• T2 Series Heavy Duty Belt Clip: adapts an OPEN belt (sold with Vocollect's previous device) for use
with a T2 Series device.
• T5/A500 Black Belt Clip: connects a T5 or A500 device to the belt.
• To comply with government safety standards, the device must be used with either a Vocollect
customized belt and clip, a Vocollect customized shoulder harness, or a Vocollect belt holder.
• Vocollect strongly recommends that the device be worn on the right side of the body with the device’s
buttons on the top and its connectors toward your back.
Using the T-Series Belts and Clips
To mount a device onto the specially designed belt or shoulder harness, an operator must have a slim
belt clip (provided with the belt or harness). The clip should be attached to the belt at the beginning of
a shift. Then, the operator can attach the device to and remove the device from the clip as often as
necessary.
• A500 and T5-series devices can be worn on a belt or shoulder harness.

Talkman T1
Figure 67: Talkman T1
The Talkman®T1 is Vocollect's light industrial voice-enabled device for dry, non-freezer environments.
The device is worn in a holster and is designed to be used only with the Vocollect SL-4 Light Industrial
Behind-the-Head Headset.
This device and headset solution is ideal for less noisy work areas because the SL-4 speaker sits farther
from the head than in Vocollect's SR-Series headsets. As a result, users must set the device volume to
a level appropriate for their environments. The Talkman T1 speech recognition performance, however,
is comparable to the rest of the Talkman line of devices.

Vocollect Wired Headsets
An operator uses a headset with a microphone to interact with a device by hearing and responding to
instructions. Based on the operator's responses, the device transmits data messages back to the host
computer.
Vocollect offers a variety of wired headsets designed for different environments and wearing preferences.
The SR-20 tends to be the most popular general use headset. Other models provide behind-the-head,
light industrial, and hardhat options. Headset features include:
• Bidirectional noise-canceling microphones for optimal noise cancelation.
• Windscreen to reduce breathing and other background noises that can make it hard for the device to
understand what an operator is saying.
• Sealed components to prevent corrosion.
• Dual strap, padded, stainless steel headbands for increased comfort and stability.
• Single strap, lightweight headbands for a personalized fit.
• Single-cup models with single ear cups that pivot vertically and horizontally and can be worn on
either ear.
• Dual-cup model for added noise reduction in loud work environments.
• Foam ear pads for quick and easy replacement.
• A rotating lever on the outside of the earpiece for moving the microphone up and down without causing
stress on the microphone boom.
• Repeatable microphone position; a groove catches the boom, placing it in the proper position when
the boom is swiveled down for operation.
The headsets, microphones, cords, and connectors used with the Vocollect Voice®system are delicate
pieces of electronic equipment. Proper care will ensure that they work well for a long time.
See Care and Use of Headsets and Microphones for more information.
Important: For maximum hygiene, Vocollect discourages sharing headsets among operators. The
design of the SRX2 Wireless Headset features an electronics module that can be removed from the
headband and windscreen. The electronics module can be shared among operators over multiple
shifts, providing some level of hygiene while potentially reducing costs.
SL-4 and SL-14 Vocollect Light Industrial Behind-the-Head Headset
The SL-4 and SL-14 Vocollect®light industrial, behind-the-head headsets are behind-the-head worn
headsets designed for worker in light industrial environments. The design of these headsets is appealing
for workers who can not wear typical over-the-head models due to hair style, headgear or comfort issues.
The SL-4 works with the Talkman T1 devices while the SL-14 works with the Talkman A500, T2- or
T5-series devices.
Note: These lightweight, non-repairable headsets may be damaged if the "Proper Use and Care"
instructions are not followed. See the "Proper Use and Care" document included with the headset
for information.
