This section summarizes the new features in the Vocera Minibadge release.

• Calls encryption—Calls between two Minibadges are encrypted in FIPS mode. The encryption is controlled through a badge property.
• Firmware check for invalid badge properties—To prevent outages caused by invalid properties, the Minibadge now verifies the validity of badge properties from the server and skips any invalid properties before updating the device.
• Battery usage data—The Minibadge can now log battery usage data. This helps to diagnose battery-related problems.
• Enhancements
  • When a Minibadge user receives a normal broadcast call while already in a call or broadcast, the Minibadge enunciates "broadcast to {group}."
  • The Minibadge users can now press the volume up and DND buttons in any order to accept the connection request from the MBU app. After the connection is approved, the Minibadge enunciates “Connecting to smartphone.”

• G6W-4297 Minibadge is unresponsive and not always recoverable when a user receives an urgent message with only special characters
• G6W-4589 False acceptance issue is reported with Wake word. This issue has been resolved. Wake word is enabled by default.
• G6W-4634 The Minibadge completes the enunciation of lower priority message or alert even after receiving a higher priority message or alert. This issue has been addressed. When a higher priority message or alert is received while the Minibadge is enunciating a lower priority one, the enunciation of the higher priority message or alert takes precedence.
• G6W-4639 Kerplunk plays two times for the text message received during the logged out state.
• G6W-4737 The Minibadge restarts when it receives more than 40 alerts. This issue has been resolved.
• G6W-4742 The Minibadge log frequently displays 50% as the Channel Utilization, which does not accurately reflect the true utilization rate. Now the log reflects the actual utilization rate.
• G6W-4756 Unable to reconnect to the Minibadge from the MBU app after the Minibadge Bluetooth is turned off and subsequently turned on. This issue has been addressed.
• G6W-5543 The Minibadge gets stuck in the boot procedure (intermittent) when it is connected to a USB-C cable after the badge battery is removed and inserted. This issue has been resolved.
• G6W-5549 The Minibadge does not play the reminder notification for voice messages after 10 minutes. This issue has been addressed.
• G6W-5562 The panic call does not activate when the Minibadge is in the Settings menu. This issue has been addressed.

• G6W-4698 Coverage request does not work with the Minibadge.
• G6W-4707 When a Minibadge user merges the call between two other users, the user who initiated the merge call cannot put the call on hold after a user leaves the call by pressing the Call button.
• G6W-4736 After being turned off and on using the DND button, the Minibadge does not enunciate "Press the call button to log in."
• G6W-4817 The Minibadge cannot connect to the access point (AP) due to poor network in the BG band.
• G6W-5148 In some situations, the blue light on the Minibadge blinks even after the connection is lost.
• G6W-5671 If a Minibadge user switches from an analog headset to a Google Pixel digital headset, the digital headset does not function properly, and the audio is played through the Minibadge speaker.
