Caring for Headsets & Microphones

Purpose
This document describes the proper methods of caring for headsets, microphones, windscreens, and
earpieces on a routine basis. For more information on headsets and microphones, refer to Headsets,
Microphones, Windscreens & Earpieces.
Routine Maintenance
The headsets and microphones used with the Talkman® system are delicate pieces of electronic equipment.
Proper care will ensure that they work well for a long time. Care for high noise and regular headsets in the
same manner. For more information, refer to Headsets, Microphones, Windscreens & Earpieces.
Vocollect highly recommends that operators do not share headsets. The primary reason for this
recommendation is sanitary in nature (i.e. the microphone is close to the mouth and can trap germs
and moisture). Also, operators tend to take better care of a headset that has been assigned
specifically to them. Set up a system for storing the headsets so that operators can easily locate
their own headset every time they report to work.
Change windscreens every 90 days. Over time, the windscreen accumulates dirt
and moisture, making it more difficult for the Talkman terminal to understand the
operator. These conditions are even worse in a freezer, where condensation can
build up and freeze on the windscreen.
If the windscreen becomes dirty or wet, slip it off of the microphone, then clean it. Clean the
windscreen by running it under warm water and rubbing it gently with soapy hands. Rinse it and
let it dry thoroughly before putting it back onto the microphone.
