Action #2: If the unit still does not work, make sure there is no dirt or
obstacles between the plates and the housing of the unit.
Action #3: Disconnect the power, by removing one of the batteries
for 20 seconds, to reset the unit. Reconnect the battery. If the unit still
does not work correctly, replace all batteries.
Care of Unit:
If you will not be using communicator for an extended amount of time,
we recommend removing the batteries.
The 4 Plate 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 use abrasive cleaners, as they will scratch the surface of the
unit.
Do not submerge the unit, as it will damage the electrical
components.
4-Plate Communicator Say It Play It #4055
USER’S GUIDE
Page 2
Offers 60 square inches of communication!
This communicator has four 3" x 5" plate switches providing a large
target area for individuals who cannot easily access smaller
communication devices. Light pressure on each plate sounds a
message of up to five seconds. Messages can be recorded and rerecorded as often as you wish. This versatile communicator can be
positioned at a 30 degree angle or a 70 degree angle. The
communicator also allows the user to simultaneously communicate
and activate four different toys or devices with the four cords
provided. Size: 15"L x 7½"W x 7½"H. Requires 4 AA Batteries.
Operation:
1. The 4-Plate Communicator requires 4 AA Batteries to operate.
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. The microphone and the red "RECORD" button are located on the
back panel of the unit. To record, depress and hold the red
"RECORD" button. At the same time, depress one of the four
plates on the front of the unit and speak into the microphone.
Release both the plate and the recording button when the recording
is over. Play back your message by pressing and releasing the
same plate used to record. Each of the remaining plates can be
programmed in the same manner.
3. The unit will retain recorded information indefinitely, even if the
battery is disconnected. Previously stored information will be
erased only when a new recording is performed.
4. Playback volume can be adjusted using the "ON/OFF/VOLUME"
control knob located on the back panel of the unit.
5. The unit can be used in three positions. It comes set up at a
medium angle (approx. 30 degrees), i.e. with the short edge of the
side supports at the back of the unit. To change the angle of the
unit, to a greater angle (approx. 70 degrees) remove both side
supports with a Phillips-head screwdriver. Re-attach the supports
on the opposite sides from which they were removed, positioning
the edge of the side supports with the insert nuts (i.e. the hardware
used to attach the side supports) against the main unit and the other
long edge of the side supports at the back of the unit. Snug screws
down securely. If only a slightly inclined angle is desired, leave
the side supports off.
Note: When the side supports are attached, the attaching
hardware is on the inside of the unit.
6. To operate the 4-Plate Communicator Say It Play It as a switch, as
well as a communication device, connect cords to up to four toys
or devices via the 1/8-inch jacks on the side panels of the unit. The
4-Plate Communicator Say It Play It #4055 comes with 1/8- to 1/8inch cords for activating external toys or devices with 1/8-inch
jacks. If you need to use 1/4- or 1/8-inch adaptors, they must be
mono adaptors, not stereo.
Important Notes:
• The maximum message length for any single plate is five seconds,
up to a total of 20 seconds for all four plates.
Troubleshooting:
Problem: The unit fails to operate, or operates incorrectly.
Action #1: If any pictures, words, etc. have been attached to any of
the four plates, make sure that they are not touching or underneath the
frame around the plates, for they will interfere with the action of the
plates. (Continued on back page).
