USER’S GUIDE
Page 2
The Four Compartment Communicator with Speech is a selfcontained communication device which allows the user to record and
playback four different messages of up to five seconds each.
Operation:
1. Locate the battery compartment at the top of the unit. Remove
the white cover and install four AA batteries into the holder,
being sure to observe the polarity of the batteries. 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 and the unit will not perform
properly. Never mix old and new batteries together or different
brands or types together.
2. To the left of the battery compartment is a red button. This
button is used for recording messages into the Compartment
Communicator. To record a message, press and hold the red
button while at the same time holding down one of the four
large colored buttons in one of the compartments. The
microphone is located just above the compartments and looks
like a black button. Speak into the microphone when recording.
The unit will retain recorded information indefinitely, even if
the battery is disconnected. Previously stored information will
be erased every time a new recording is performed.
3. Playback volume can be adjusted using the control knob
provided next to the red record button at the top of the unit.
Important Notes:
1. The memory of this unit is capable of holding up to 20 seconds
of speech information total. Maximum message length is 5
seconds for each segment. If the message exceeds this limit, it
will overwrite the message in the next compartment within the
bank (in ascending order). It is possible to use the unit in this
manner, but for simplicity we recommend recording of
messages of 5 seconds each or shorter.
2. The Four Compartment Communicator will shut off
automatically after playback to preserve battery life. However,
the device will remain on after recording, unless the message is
played back at least once. Be sure to playback one segment
immediately after recording, as well as before disconnecting
the switches and storing the unit.
If the unit fails to operate or operates incorrectly, disconnect the
batteries for 20 seconds to reset the unit. If the unit still does not work
correctly after the batteries are reconnected, replace all the batteries.
If you have any problems or questions about this product, or any of our
products, please do not hesitate to call our Technical Assistance
Department.
Care of Unit:
The Four Compartment Communicator can be wiped clean with any
mild household multi-purpose, non-abrasive cleaner and disinfectant.
We recommend Simple Green, which is a non toxic biodegradable allpurpose cleaner.
Do not submerge the unit, as it will damage the contents and the
electrical components.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will scratch the surface of the
unit
