Options For Hearing Impaired Users; Scanning With The Talkman A730 Device - Honeywell Vocollect Talkman A700 Product Manual

Options for Hearing Impaired Users

Vocollect products are designed for persons with average levels of hearing. Operators who use assistive
hearing devices may need to consider some adjustments when using Vocollect headsets in a production
warehouse environment.
Vocollect recommends experimenting with combinations of several basic changes to Talkman device operation
to improve audibility:
• Change language voices using VoiceConsole (see VoiceConsole Online Help)
• Adjust the pitch of the voice lower or higher
• Adjust the volume of the voice louder or softer
• Adjust the speed of the voice slower or faster
• Change the gender of the voice to male or female
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, Vocollect 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, Vocollect 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 Vocollect 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. Vocollect 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.
Vocollect 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.
Vocollect products, and their default options, have been measured and qualified to ensure audio safety for
common work flows and for the general population. The default audio parameters should not be changed
without explicit direction from a qualified audio professional.
The Vocollect publication, Evaluating Audio Safety in Your Distribution Center, explains the importance of
maintaining audio safety in the work environment. This publication is available to Vocollect partners on
