Review A700/A700x 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 A700/A700x devices from VMT configurations

Talkman VMT devices were designed and intended for easy installation. They were not designed
for frequent removal.
The exception is the Talkman A730 which 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.
NOTE
Honeywell does not support configurations of the A700/A700x without a battery.
Honeywell recommends that Talkman devices and cables 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.
WARNING
Frequent removal of the Talkman or cable will likely cause a premature mechanical failure to
the cable or dock. 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.
