Two Compartment Communicator
w/Speech - #1243
USER’S GUIDE

Great for teaching language skills!
Our exclusive compartmentalized communicators are fun, easy to use,
and perfect for teaching language skills (classification, sequence,
function, opposites and comparatives). Place objects, pictures or words
in each of the compartments. Twenty seconds of total recording time.
Requires 4 AA Batteries.
Operation:
1. Locate the battery compartment at the bottom of the unit.
Remove the 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 two
large colored buttons in one of the compartments. The
microphone is located on the back of the unit, 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 bottom of the unit.
4. The Compartment Communicator has two locations for placing
Icons or Pictures. On the back of the unit there is a clear
holding strip where Icons or Photos can be placed. There are
also 3 x 3 icon holders. Changeable picture cards (Not included)
slide behind the clear covers on the black 3-inch x 3-inch icon
holders. Each icon holder is held in place with Velcro so that the
user can quickly change the icons.
Important Notes:
1. The memory of this unit is capable of holding up to 20 seconds
of speech information total. Maximum message length is 10
seconds for each segment.
2. The Two Compartment Communicator will shut off
automatically after playback to preserve battery life. However,
the device will remain on after recording.
3. 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.
Care of Unit:
Two 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 allÂpurpose 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
