USER’S GUIDE

Introducing truly portable Communicators!
We have created a truly portable version of our best and most
affordable communicators. The On-the-Go product line comes with a
sturdy handle and 36" adjustable strap. Now you can take your
communicator anywhere!
User-friendly teaching tool is great for providing communication and
cognitive support, as well as enhancing the developing expressive and
receptive language skills. Cheap Talk 8 allows you to record and
rerecord eight messages with 37.5 seconds per message and 100%
better sound quality than earlier versions. Each 2" square has an easyto-remove plastic protective cover to hold words and/or pictures. Size:
12"x 7½"x 2 ¼ ". Requires 4 AA Batteries.
OPERATION:
1. Carefully turn over unit to reveal battery compartment. Observing
polarity, install four AA batteries into the holder.
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 8 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”.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. The memory of this unit is capable of holding up to 300 seconds of
speech information total. This memory is divided in 8 equal
segments of 37.5 seconds each.
2. Cheap Talk 8 will shut off automatically after playback to
preserve battery life. However, device still drains a very small
current in this “sleep” mode. Therefore, if the unit is not going to
be used for a prolonged amount of time, it is recommended to turn
the power off. Doing this can extend overall battery life.
3. If the unit fails to operate, or operates incorrectly, the following
steps should be performed:
Disconnect the power by removing one of the batteries for 20
seconds to reset the unit. If the unit still does not work correctly
after battery is reconnected, replace the batteries observing proper
polarity.
Make sure there are no obstacles between the colored square
buttons and the housing unit.
