Reading Text Messages
You can read three kinds of text messages on the display of your Vocera device:
• Text messages. Vocera smartphone users can send text messages to other
Vocera users. Vocera Messaging Interface (VMI) applications that interface
with other systems, such as nurse call systems, can also send text messages to
Vocera devices.
• Email messages. People inside and outside the Vocera system can send text
messages to your Vocera device from their email programs. See Sending
Text Messages to Vocera Devices on page 87.
• User Console messages. Users can send these text messages from the Vocera
User Console. See The User Console on page 99.
To read text messages on the badge display:
1. Hold the badge so that the display screen is visible.
2. Press the Select button once to see the Messages icon.
3. Press the Select button to display a list of message subjects, one subject
per line. On the B3000, the subject line for only one message is shown at a
time. The newest messages are listed first.
If the message was sent from an email account, the subject line displays the
first 12 or 13 characters of the message.
4. Use the Up and Down buttons to scroll through the list of messages until
you see the message you want to read.
5. Press the Select button to view the selected message.
The badge displays the body of the message, the sender's name or email
address, and the date and time the message was received by the Vocera
server. Use the Up and Down buttons to scroll through the message, if
necessary.
Note: If a text message appears to be incomplete, someone may have sent
you an email message longer than the character limit for your device.
6. When you finish reading the message, press the Select button to see this
menu of message options:
