Alert Tones and Notifications

You can control the alert tones using the settings on the Vocera server.

Your device may play any or all of the following alert tones:

Tone Meaning
On/Off Network Alert You just moved out of the range of the wireless network, or you just moved into the range of your wireless network.
Low Battery Alert Your battery needs to be recharged.
Text Message Alert You just received a new text message.
Voice Message Alert You just received a new voice message.

Your device may play any or all of the following reminders:

Reminder Meaning
Text Message Reminder Plays a tone every 15 minutes until you read or listen to a new text message.
Voice Message Reminder Plays a tone every 15 minutes until you listen to a new voice message.
DND Reminder Plays a tone every 15 minutes to remind you that the badge is in DND mode.

If you are not receiving an alert tone or reminder that you would find useful, or if you do not want to be notified of any of the above conditions, ask your system administrator to change the settings for your device. The system administrator can also set an option to disable all alerts when your device is in Do Not Disturb mode.

In addition to the alert tones, the badge provides a spoken notification Searching for Server if you press the Call button when the badge is connected to the network but not connected to the Vocera Server.
