Minimizing and Exiting Vocera Apps
On the Vocera Apps screen, you can minimize the application by pressing
Home . When the application is minimized, you can still receive incoming text
messages, which will automatically bring the application to the foreground. You
can also bring the application to the foreground by pressing
Vocera Apps on
the smartphone's Home screen.
You can exit the Vocera Apps application by choosing Menu > Exit from the

longer read or respond to text messages. You should not exit the application
unless you are planning to upgrade the smartphone.
If you exit from Vocera Apps accidentally, press Vocera Apps to restart the
application.
Handling Lost Connections
If the Vocera Apps client is unable to connect to the Vocera Server, or if it loses
its connection for any reason, the smartphone automatically switches to the
Vocera Apps screen and displays the message "Lost Connection." This could
be caused by a momentary network problem. If the application is unable to
connect for several minutes, or it has never connected successfully, contact your
Vocera system administrator.
