Smart Battery And Power Efficiency; Handset Mode - Vocera Badge User Manual

Smart Battery and Power Efficiency

The lithium-ion polymer smart battery continuously monitors battery life and
is able to accurately report remaining capacity. Due to improvements in power
efficiency in the B3000 badge, a fully charged B3000 standard battery should
provide 3 hours of talk time (U-APSD enabled) and up to 45 hours of standby
time. A fully charged B3000 extended battery should provide 5 hours of talk
time and 60 hours of standby time. Unlike the B2000 battery, you must remove
the B3000 battery from the badge to charge it.

Handset Mode

The B3000 lets users switch to handset mode to ensure privacy or use the
badge in a high noise environment without a headset. When the badge is in
handset mode, you can use it like a telephone handset. Press the Call button to
make a call or answer a call, and then put the badge speaker to your ear and
speak into the primary microphone located on the front of the badge at the
top right corner. Only the primary microphone is enabled in handset mode; the
three noise-canceling microphones are automatically disabled. For information
on how to switch the badge to handset mode, see
On or Off
Note: When you hold the badge speaker up to your ear, do not cover the
primary microphone with your fingers. Otherwise, the Genie will not hear
anything you say.
