Wearable Computers

Figure 4: Talkman T2 x
Figure 5: Talkman T1
Talkman devices are voice-directed wearable computers. The Talkman
T1 has been specifically designed for light-duty, light-industrial
environments. 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-series, T5-series and A500 wearable computers. It
is intended for work in areas where you don't require an extremely rugged
device.
Talkman T5-series, T2-series and A500 devices attach to a customized
belt or shoulder harness equipped with a specially designed clip. Talkman
T1 devices are inserted into a customized holster with belt clip. This
leaves the operator's hands free to inspect items, pick products, 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 T5 VMT 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,
T2-series, A500) or facing front (T1) and its connectors toward the
operator’s back (T5-series, T2-series, A500) 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 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
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.
Important:
• These instructions are for the T2-series, T5-series and A500
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.
