Honeywell Vocollect Hardware Reference Manual page 99

The parts used for mounting the Talkman were designed for a fixed position with easy adjustment. While unlikely,
these parts may loosen over time with inadvertent impacts of daily use—especially if the mountings have not been
firmly secured or if workers attempt to adjust the mounting manually.
To prevent this issue, remove the user-adjustable handle on the arm and install a 1/4" #20 nylon lock nut provided
with the Vocollect VMT kit. The lock nut cannot be loosened by hand and resists most vibrations.
• Secure VMT cabling
The cables and wiring that connect the Talkman VMT must be well secured to the vehicle so that they do not get
caught on anything. Snagged cables could result in an accident and damage to the VMT or vehicle.
CAUTION: Separate the cabling from other wiring in the vehicle and ensure that it is routed away from
sharp edges.
The cable pictured here will not fall out of alignment and possibly snag anything while the vehicle is in motion.
Note that there is enough slack in the cable to its right so that the battery adapter can be removed or installed in the
Talkman device.
The cable end that connects to the battery adapter should have enough length to permit easy disconnection and
docking of the battery adapter but not so much length that it could become snagged on something.
The cable may be secured to the bottom of the adapter using the two holes on the bottom of the docking area of
the adapter. If the cable is secured in this manner, use spiral cable wrap, supplied with the VMT Talkman adapter,
to provide additional protection.
To accomplish this mounting:
• Place approximately 2.50 inches of spiral wrap (0.25-inch outer diameter) on the yellow cable with its
midpoint at 9 or 10 inches from the cable end connector.
