11 VOCERA BADGE USERGUIDE
The Genie will prompt you to record your name. If you do not record your name, the Vocera
system uses speech synthesis to say your name.
7. Adjust the volume on the badge, if necessary. See Adjusting the Volume on page 28.
To get started with a B2000 badge:
1. Charge the battery, if necessary.
New batteries must be charged before use. If the badge has already been used by someone
else, check the battery level indicator on the badge display to make sure the battery has
sufficient power.
See Maintaining Your Badge on page 81 for other ways to determine whether the battery
needs charging and for instructions on how to charge the battery.
2. Choose the lanyard, pocket clip, or universal clip attachment, and connect it to the badge.
Connect attachments before you install the battery.
3. Install the battery. To do this, slide the holes in the top of the battery over the small pegs at
the top of the badge's battery compartment, and then press down gently to seat the battery.
The badge will begin a startup sequence. Wait until the badge display reads Logged Out or
shows someone's name.
4. Put the badge on, and make sure it is in the proper position.
To get the best possible speech recognition, the microphone on the top of the badge should
point toward your mouth and should be approximately 6 inches (15 centimeters) from your
chin.
5. Log in: Press the Call button and wait for the Genie to answer.
• If the Genie asks for your name, say your first and last names.
• If the Genie answers by saying "Vocera" or by playing a tone, another user may
already be logged in. If so, say "Log me out," wait for the chime, and then press the Call
button again to log in.
6. Record your name: Press the Call button, wait for the Genie to answer, and then say "Record
my name."
