Vmt Installation Best Practices - Honeywell Vocollect Hardware Reference Manual

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.
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.
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.
