User's Manual

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.

Headset pad options: Vocollect offers a variety of pads to meet the unique requirements of workers
and working conditions.
Standard foam pads: provide cushioning and soft surfaces wherever the headset comes in contact
with the operator. Available on all headsets.
Leatherette ear pads: have a faux leather exterior that is a more firm and supportive and more
moisture resistant than standard foam pads. Offered for all SR-20 through SR-40 models.
Memory foam pads: offer superior cushioning support and comfort. Available in earpads for the
SR-20/21 and in t-bar pads for the SR-20/21 and SR-30.
