Using a Badge in Dual Mode

Dual Mode optionally allows you to use the Vocera Collaboration Suite for messaging while continuing to use a Vocera badge for hands-free communication.

Log in to the badge.

Note: When you log in to the badge, you will be warned that you are already logged in, since you are using the Vocera Collaboration Suite on your device. If you are asked whether you still want to log in to the badge, say "Yes".
Use the Vocera badge as needed to send and receive Vocera calls, broadcasts, and messages. You can still use the Vocera Collaboration Suite to participate in message conversations.

All messages are sent to your badge and are delivered to your Vocera Collaboration Suite app's Inbox with a single notification tone. You can respond to a message from the app if you prefer.

When you are using a badge in Dual Mode, if you initiate a Call from the app, it is connected through your badge instead of the app.
When you are finished with the badge, log off from it. Calls and messages are now received on the app.

When you are in Dual Mode and you access the Call module from the Vocera Collaboration Suite, a message is displayed on the Call module screen that indicates that an alternate Vocera device is in use for Calls and Messages.

If you tap the Call button on the app when in Dual Mode, you are logged out of the badge.
