Removing The Electronic Module From A Headband; Options For Hearing Impaired Users - Honeywell A700 Hardware Reference Manual

Removing the Electronic Module from a Headband

IMPORTANT
Do not squeeze the battery latches on the sides of the electronic module while removing it
from the headband. The battery may be inadvertently released from the electronic module.
Do not remove the electronic module by pulling on the microphone boom as this may cause
damage.
1. Grasp the electronic module with one hand, pressing your thumb and fingertips into the
gap between the electronic module and earpiece hub.
2. With the other hand, hold the headband by the earpiece hub.
3. Pull the electronic module away from the earpiece hub.

Options for Hearing Impaired Users

Honeywell products are designed for persons with average levels of hearing. Operators who use
assistive hearing devices may need to consider some adjustments when using Honeywell
headsets in a production warehouse environment.
Honeywell recommends experimenting with combinations of several basic changes to Talkman
device operation to improve audibility:
Change language voices using VoiceConsole (see VoiceConsole Online Help)
l
Adjust the pitch of the voice lower or higher
l
Adjust the volume of the voice louder or softer
l
Adjust the speed of the voice slower or faster
l
Change the gender of the voice to male or female
l
Users may find that their assistive devices are passing through additional background noise that
makes it difficult to hear the Talkman device prompts. In this case, Honeywell recommends using
a cupped headset to help eliminate distracting input from the assistive devices.
If a user continues to have problems hearing the Talkman device after trying these options,
Honeywell strongly recommends consulting a medical professional. Hearing loss is a medical
condition that requires the attention of a qualified audiologist. The audiologist should be made
aware of the options that Honeywell products offer with pitch, volume, and sidetone so that he or
she can make appropriate recommendations that may benefit the user without possible side
effects. Honeywell Technical Support can talk with the user's audiologist to explain these options
and make changes in the Talkman device configuration based on the specific recommendations
of the audiologist.
CAUTION
There are a variety of parameters that can further increase output levels of the Talkman
device. Honeywell does not recommend changing any of these settings in a way that
increases sound output levels without consulting a qualified audiologist. Changing these
settings without qualified medical supervision could result in additional hearding damage.
