BADGE FEATURES
16 VOCERA BADGE USERGUIDE
See Turning Privacy Mode On or Off on page 30 for more information.
Enhanced Durability
Like the B3000, the B3000n is more durable and rugged than the B2000 predecessor. All
buttons on the badge now use dome switches instead of mechanical switches. Menu selection
buttons have been moved from the side to the front of the badge, and the battery latch is now
part of the battery. A metallic spine reinforces the shell and serves as the attachment point for
accessories at the top of the badge. The B3000n has been tested to withstand dust, shock, and
vibration. Like the B2000 and B3000 before it, the B3000n is NOT water-resistant.
Increased Speaker Volume
The B3000n has a speaker with 85 dBSPL peak loudness, more than 10 dB louder than the
B2000 speaker, making it easier to use without a headset in noisy areas or areas with persistent
background noise.
Integrated Noise Cancellation
The B3000n has enhanced noise cancellation as well as better acoustic echo cancellation. The
badge has an array of four directional microphones (two at the top and two along the right front
side), each with their own echo cancellor, reducing background noise while you speak.
The following figures illustrate B3000n microphone sensitivity. They show front and side views
of someone wearing the badge using a lanyard or a universal clip. The shaded area above the
badge is the speech zone, the region in which audio can be detected.
The following figure shows the primary B3000n microphone and the three noise-canceling
microphones.
