Getting Started with a Badge
If this is the first time you are using a Vocera badge, you can get started right
away by following these simple steps:
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 119 for other ways to determine
whether the battery needs charging and for instructions on how to charge
the battery with or without the badge.
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.
