CAUTION: Do not mount the device in the driver's area of the vehicle or areas where it can distract the
driver.
• Consider additional options from RAM
The Honeywell parts provided for mounting Talkman devices represent a small set of the mounting options
available from RAM Mounts (www.rammount.com). Honeywell only requires that customers purchase the
BL-710-1, vehicle mount holder for Talkman. When used with the screw-on base attachment (BL-710-102) or
other parts that use a 1" ball mounting, the VMT configuration may require additional parts that can be purchased
from RAM Mounts for an optimal installation.

In particular, the following standard RAM Mounts parts provide additional mounting flexibility.

• Lock parts into place if they might be moved during normal operations
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.
