Recording a New Message:
• Remove the MOH DRIVE from the Model 50 Digital Message On Hold Player. Insert the MOH DRIVE into the USB
port of any computer that contains the new message or messages to be transferred. A USB extension cable is included if
needed.
• Wait approximately 30 seconds for the computer to recognize the MOH Drive.
• Double click on My Computer and double click on the MOH DRIVE to display its contents. If “MOH Drive” is not in the list,
remove the USB Thumb Drive, wait 5 seconds, and re-insert the drive.
• Delete any unwanted messages on the MOH DRIVE. The only files that are played are those in the root of the drive. No
files in sub-directories are accessed by the Model 50 Digital Message On Hold Player. If there is more than one mp3
audio file in the root of the MOH DRIVE the Model 50 Digital Message On Hold Player will play the files in filename

NOTE: If you want to store audio files on the USB Drive, but not have them play, simply create a folder called UNUSED
MESSAGES (or what ever name you like) on the USB Drive and save the audio files to that folder. The audio files will be on
the drive but will not play. When you want an unused file to play simply drag the audio file out of the folder to the root of the
USB drive and the Model 50 Digital Message On Hold Player will play it.
