User's Manual

Important: For maximum hygiene, Vocollect discourages sharing headsets among operators.
The design of the SRX2 Wireless Headset features an electronics module that can be removed from
the headband and windscreen. The electronics module can be shared among operators over multiple
shifts, providing some level of hygiene while potentially reducing costs.
Wearing Headsets: General Procedures
This describes the standard procedures for wearing Vocollect headsets. Note that special types of headsets
have somewhat different procedures.
Tip:
Always use pads and windscreens with Vocollect headsets to protect the equipment and ensure
optimum speech recognition performance.
1. Put the headset on and adjust the ear pad to fit snugly over your ear.
• For the Hard-Hat Headset, first insert the headset bracket into the left or right slot on the hardhat,
then put on the hardhat.
2. Swing the microphone into position with the rotating lever at the earpiece.
Important: Do not swivel the microphone boom by the flexible end. Use the rotating lever on
the outside of the earpiece.
3. Make final adjustments with the flexible boom so that the microphone is positioned at the corner of
your mouth.
A dot or the word "talk" on the microphone faces your mouth when the microphone is positioned
properly.
Make sure that there is a windscreen on the microphone. A windscreen improves performance.
4. Clip the headset wire to collar and belt. Let the wire fall down your back, and clip it to the belt near
the device.
If you use a device cover, Vocollect recommends that you clip the bottom clip directly onto the cover.
5. Connect or pair the headset to the device.
Adjusting Headsets for Comfort
Vocollect has designed the SR Series headsets based on data for most head shapes and sizes. Because
the headset is the most personal piece of voice equipment and must remain stable while workers perform
very physical tasks, users may benefit from these headset adjustment guidelines.
•
Placement of the "T-bar" pad: The SR-20, SR-21, SR-30, and SRX models have pads called "t-bars"
opposite the speaker side of the headset. The t-bar should be positioned on a part of the head with
the least amount of muscle.
As an operator speaks, the muscle above the ear flexes. If the t-bar is placed on this muscle, the
headset applies pressure to the artery and nerves beneath it and can cause the operator some
discomfort. The operator can locate this muscle by moving his or her jaw and feeling the area above
the ear for movement. Some operators choose to alternate the headset position on either side of their
heads during their shifts.
