Using Headsets in Freezer Environments

• Train your voice templates in the freezer environment. If operators train templates in a quiet area, the noise of a freezer could disrupt recognition.
• Position the microphone as close to your mouth as possible, but outside of your breath stream. It should be facing your upper lip, and not touching anything (for example, clothing, skin, or facial hair).
• Keep windscreens dry. Water does not damage the equipment; however a windscreen can create a water barrier that degrades speech recognition.
• Do not attempt to break ice from a windscreen. The pressure can grind ice into the foam and cause a water barrier as it melts. Ice build-up generally does not degrade performance because Honeywell Adaptive Speech Recognition compensates for gradual changes in the environment.
• Replace a windscreen if liquid or ice on the foam is accompanied by significant problems with recognition.

If the headset plays a "headset maintenance is needed message" when used in the freezer environment, contact your support representative for information. Do not return the headset to Honeywell unless directed to do so by your representative.
