PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
DMC4 is a High Quality MP3 based Digital Message Player designed
specifically for Message On Hold applications.
The heart of unit is a professional quality MP3 engine, which is controlled
by a powerful microprocessor in order to provide exceptional message
output quality.
DMC4 is designed to play MP3 files contained on an MMC or SD Flash
Card, from the moment it is inserted. It will START PLAYING your
Message as soon as POWER is connected to it or an SD Flash Card
with an MP3 file is inserted.
When it reaches the end of the MP3 based message, it will immediately
RESTART at the beginning of the file, or if there are OTHER MP3 files
loaded onto the card, it will START playing the NEXT MESSAGE,
followed sequentially by all other messages loaded onto the card. It will
continue with this cycle until POWER is removed or the SD Flash Card
is removed.
DMC4 is designed to be left ON at all times. Power consumption is
minimal (approx $6 per year) and there are no moving parts that will
wear with use.
DMC4 is supplied with a TWO YEAR FACTORY WARRANTY.

MANUAL MESSAGE UPDATE
(via Flash Card)
DMC4 is fitted with a ‘Hot Swappable’ Flash card socket, which provides
for quick and easy Flash Card replacement.
This means that a new message can be prepared for you by a
Professional Message Production company and mailed to you at any
time.
A list of recommended Message Production companies can be provided
on request.
Replacing your message is simply a matter of removing the old Flash
Card with your fingers and replacing it with the new Flash Card.
There is no need to disconnect the power.
Your old Flash Card can then be mailed back to your Message Production
Company, in the transport case provided.

MESSAGE UPDATE
(via Email to Flash Card)
Due to the wide use of Flash Cards with Digital Cameras, Printers and
other devices, many users will now be familiar with receiving files by
email and then saving files to a Flash Card.
This makes for a very quick and efficient means of sending Message
Updates to DMC4 users.
MP3 message updates are sent as an attachment to a normal email
and then saved to the SD Flash Card. The original message should be
deleted.
In order to utilise this method, customers will need to have an SD Flash
card drive on their PC or Laptop. If a suitable built in drive is not available,
the customer can use an inexpensive external MMC/SD programmer
that is simply plugged into any USB port.
An inexpensive good quality external
USB - SD Flash Card programmer
is available from National Communications.
PROCEDURE
1) Remove the SD Flash Card from your DMC1 device and insert it
into the USB programmer.
2) You should locate the Flash Card drive using Windows Explorer
and then DELETE the original MP3 file.
3) You should right click the attachment and SAVE this file to the
USB programmer.
4) Insert your refreshed SD card into your DMC device. The new
message will start playing a short time later.
