Welcome
Greetings upon receiving your Vocera smartphone. The
Vocera smartphone combines Vocera's unique calling
and messaging capabilities with a powerful open
platform capable of supporting email, text messaging
and critical enterprise applications.
Meet the smartphone
Your Vocera smartphone is designed to operate
throughout the wireless network coverage of your
enterprise environment. You can use the smartphone as
you would any normal office phone. This means that you
can dial local office phone extensions just as you could
with a wired desk phone, using abbreviated extension
phone numbers. The smartphone connects to the Vocera
Communications System for voice recognition, hands-
free dialing, group and individual push-to-talk (PTT),
telephony integration, text messaging, and call
management. The smartphone also provides email,
contacts, calendar, tasks and many other built-in tools to
help you manage your busy work style.
The Vocera smartphone can also access server based
enterprise applications, a standard mobile Internet
browser, and has the ability to pair with Bluetooth®
headsets and other Bluetooth devices such as personal
computers.
BEFORE USING THIS smartphone, READ the Product
Regulatory, Safety & RF Exposure Guide (P/N
6802985C71) included with this smartphone.
