Terminals
Operators use Talkman terminals to gather data or perform warehouse operations, such as
order picking. Operators wear terminals on their waists, mounted onto a specially designed
Talkman belt. Since they communicate with the terminals using speech, operators' hands
and eyes are free to do their work. However, there are buttons on the terminal that
operators use to perform certain functions, such as turning the terminal on or retraining a
word.
Headsets
An operator wears a headset (with an attached microphone) that is connected to the
Talkman terminal. The headset allows each operator to hear the terminal's instructions or
questions, and the microphone enables the operator talk to the terminal.
Batteries and Chargers
Talkman terminals are powered by rechargeable batteries. A fully charged battery may or
may not last for an entire shift (depending upon the length of the shift). If the battery
charge does become low, the terminal will tell the operator to change the battery.
Batteries are recharged in battery chargers.
When a terminal is not actively being used, it should be put into a terminal charger.
Note: A terminal should always have a battery attached to it when it is placed into a
terminal charger.
Terminal chargers are used to store terminals. While a terminal is in a charger, it can send
and receive certain administrative information to and from the host computer that cannot
be sent or received when the terminal is being used.
Note: Terminal chargers are also used to charge the battery that is currently attached
to the terminal.
Other Accessories and Peripherals
Sometimes other equipment is used with a terminal. Some sites use bar code readers
connected directly to terminals. Other peripherals include printers, visual training devices,
or remote listening systems. If you have questions about adding features or equipment to
your Talkman system, contact Vocollect.
