USER’S GUIDE
Page 2
The 7-Level Communication Builder allows the user to record and play back from 1,
2, 4, 8, or 16 different messages per level. There are seven levels for recordings,
giving you a total of up to 112 messages (in the 16 window setting) at the touch of a
button! Total record time is 300 seconds. The unit comes equipped with 5 sturdy
frame/overlays in 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 windows, which will retain your icon sheet (not
included) and provide a separation between icon pads. It is necessary to re-record
all messages when you switch your windows. The breakdown is as follows: Time
per level by window setting, using all seven levels. (Picture overlays not included).
1 Window setting = 42 seconds per segment per level;
2 Window setting = 21 seconds per segment per level;
4 Window setting = 10½ seconds per segment per level;
8 Window setting = 5¼ seconds per segment per level;
16 Window setting= 2½ seconds per segment per level
Frame size is 8½" x 7". Size: 12½"L x 9¼"W x 4"H. Requires 4 AA Batteries
OPERATION:
1. Carefully turn the device over to reveal the battery compartment. A small
Phillips head screw must be removed from the battery compartment cover in
order to slide it off. Observing proper polarity, install four AA alkaline 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. Replace battery compartment
cover and screw.
2. Place your icon grid over the message pad area then install the appropriate
window frame. Next turn your window frame selector knob to the appropriate
setting. Please note pre-made grid layouts can be made with our Easy To Use
Icon Maker item No.4021 or Mayer-Johnson’s Board maker program. Our Item
No. 4008 for Macintosh computers and item No. 4009 for PC computers. If you
have older versions of Boardmaker you can download the pre-made grids from
www.MayerJohnson.com.
3. Turn the unit on by turning the “ON/OFF/VOLUME” knob into the “ON”
position. You will hear a slight audible click as you turn the knob.
4. The microphone is located on the bottom of the unit next to the red “RECORD”
button. To record, depress and hold the “RECORD” button first, then depress
one of the message pads simultaneously and speak into the microphone (your
mouth should be approximately 4-6” from the microphone). Release both
buttons once recording is over. Playback your message by pressing and releasing
the same pad used to record. Each of the remaining message pads can be
“programmed” in the same manner. (The unit will retain recorded information
indefinitely, even if the batteries are disconnected. Previously stored
information will be erased only when a new recording is performed on the pad.)
5. Adjust playback volume by rotating the on/off “VOLUME” control knob to
desired level. Turn the unit off by rotating the “VOLUME” control knob
counterclockwise until you hear an audible “click”. Using the “LEVEL” knob,
select level 2. Repeat steps 2 and 3. Repeat procedures for remaining levels.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
You must use the same window setting for all seven levels. (E.G.) you cannot use
a four-window grid on level one and then go to level two and use a 16-window
grid. If you did when you went back to level one, your messages would not play
back properly.
This unit has a total record time of 300 seconds. The breakdown is as follows.
Time per level by window setting.
1 Window setting = 42 seconds per segment per level
2 Window setting = 21 seconds per segment per level
4 Window setting = 10.5 seconds per segment per level
8 Window setting = 5.25 seconds per segment per level
16 Window setting = 2.5 seconds per segment per level
The 7 Level Communication Builder
will shut off automatically after playback to preserve battery life. However, this
device still drains a very small current in this “sleep” mode. Turn the power off
when not in use. Doing this can extend overall battery life. Batteries should be
removed during long time storage as they may leak and damage the unit.
The unit may be wiped clean using mild detergent and water on a damp cloth.
Do not submerge the unit in water.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
If the unit fails to operate, or operates incorrectly, try the following suggestions:
♦ Disconnect the power by removing all of the batteries for 20 seconds to reset the
unit. If the unit still does not work correctly after batteries are reinstalled
replace with new alkaline batteries. Make sure proper polarity is observed or
damage to unit may occur.
♦ Make sure unit is on and volume is set at an audible level.
♦ Try to record again to see if the unit will “accept” the new recordings.
