cognitive support to enhance and develop expressive and receptive
language skills. Messages can be up to 5 seconds each and can be
recorded and re-recorded as often as you wish. Size: 8" x 8" x 3".
Requires 4 AA Batteries.
Operation:
1. Carefully turn over unit to reveal battery compartment. Observing
polarity, install four AA Alkaline batteries (e.g. Duracell or
Energizer Brand) only (Not included) into the holder. Do not use
rechargeable or any non alkaline type batteries as they will not
work in this device.
2. The microphone and red “RECORD” button are located on the
back panel of the unit. To record, depress and hold the “RECORD”
button, then depress one of the 4 colored squares and speak into
the microphone. Release both buttons once recording is over.
Playback your message by pressing and releasing the same
square used to record. Each of the remaining buttons can be
“programmed” in the same manner. (The unit will retain recorded
information indefinitely, even if the battery is disconnected.
Previously stored information will be erased only when new
recording is performed.)
3. Playback volume can be adjusted using the control provided on
the back panel of the unit, next to the “RECORD” button.
4. Turn the unit off by rotating the “VOLUME” control knob located
on the back of the unit counterclockwise until you hear an audible
“click”.
