compartment. Slide the battery compartment cover off. Observing polarity,
install four AAA size batteries (Not included) into the holder. Use alkaline
batteries only (e.g. Duracell or Energizer brand). Do not use rechargeable
batteries or any other type of batteries because they supply lower voltage

together or different brands or types together. Replace the battery
compartment cover and replace the screw.

switch to the desired position. Each time the user presses and releases
the switch plate on the top of the unit, they will hear the messages
recorded either in the sequence in which they were recorded or randomly

accept most external capability switches. When using an external switch,
make sure there are no gaps between the connections, push cables in
tightly.

words. To remove the cover, carefully lift up on one side of the clear cover.
Place your icon then place the cover over the plate and press the cover
down gently. Do not hit or press the cover down, doing so can damage the
unit and make removal of the cover difficult.

capability switch, via the switch input jack located on the side of the unit.
Make sure your switch is plugged in all the way with no gaps. External
switch activation will replicate as if the large switch plate on the device
was depressed.
