The Cheap Talk 4 Switch Module is a self-contained
communication device which allows the user to record and
playback four different messages of up to five seconds each.
Four 1/8" jacks provided on the unit can accommodate a
variety of external capability switches.
OPERATION:
1. Carefully turn over the unit to reveal the battery
compartment. Remove the small screw and slide the
battery compartment cover off. Observing proper
polarity, carefully install four “AA” batteries (Not
included) into the holder. Replace the battery
compartment cover. Connect one to four external
switches into the jacks on the side of the unit.
2. The microphone is located on the side of the unit and
the red “RECORD” button is located on the top panel
of the unit. To record, depress and hold the
“RECORD” button, then depress and hold one of the
four external switches and speak your message into the
microphone. Release both the “RECORD” button and
the switch once the recording is over. Playback your
message by pressing and releasing the same switch that
was used to record. Each of the remaining switches 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 every time a new recording is performed.
3. Playback volume can be adjusted using the control knob
provided on the top panel of the unit, next to the
“RECORD” button.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The memory of this unit is capable of holding up to 20 seconds of
speech information total. This amount is divided into four equal
segments of five seconds each.
If desired, a longer message can be recorded, but each segment
over five seconds will use the memory of succeeding segments,
and, therefore, they will not be available for recording. For
example, a 15-second message recorded using a switch plugged
into Jack #1 would use the memory of segments 1-3, leaving only
segment 4 free for recording. Alternately, a 15-second message
could be stored in segment #2, in which case it would take up the
memory of segment 2-4, and another 5-second message could be
stored at segment #1. Bear in mind, however, that if a message
length exceeds the available memory amount, it will wrap around
and record itself over the beginning.
Cheap Talk 4 Switch Module will shut off automatically after
playback to preserve battery life. However, the device will remain
on after recording unless the recorded 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
battery for 20 seconds to reset the unit. If the unit still does not
work correctly after the battery is reconnected, replace the
batteries.
