Mini-Com
Place these communicators far apart or join them for building
communication skills. Easy to use picture clip allows for you to
change icons easily. Twenty seconds hi-fidelity recording time
allows you to record and re-record at the touch of a button!
Operation:
1. The Mini-Com requires 4 AA batteries to operate (Not included).
2. Gently turn the unit over to reveal the black battery
compartment. Carefully remove the small screw from the
battery compartment cover using a Phillips head screwdriver,
and slide the battery compartment cover off. Observing polarity,
install four AA size batteries into the holder. Alkaline batteries
are recommended because they last longer. Do not use
rechargeable batteries because they supply lower voltage and
the unit may not perform as well. Replace the battery
compartment cover and replace the screw.
3. Turn the unit on by turning the ON/OFF/VOLUME knob (black
knob) located on the back panel of the unit clockwise. You will
hear an audible click when the unit turns on.
4. To record, simply press and hold the red “RECORD” button on
the back panel of the unit, while simultaneously holding down
the plate switch. While continuing to hold the record button and
the plate switch, speak your message. Your mouth should be
about 6 inches from the microphone when recording (the Mic is
the “fuzzy” black circle on the back of the unit). Release both
the record button and the plate switch when you finish
recording.
5. Slide a picture card or photograph in the opening of the plastic
strip.
6. To play back your message, simply activate the plate switch. It
is not necessary to continue holding the plate switch when
listening to the message. The unit will continue to playback the
entire message, even if pressure on the plate is released.
7. 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.
8. Playback volume can be adjusted using the “ON/OFF/VOLUME”
control knob located on the back panel of the unit.
Important Note:
The memory of this unit is capable of holding up to a total of 20
seconds of speech information. If you go over this time, the
message will record over itself.
Troubleshooting:
Problem: The unit fails to operate, or operates incorrectly.
Action #1: Disconnect the power by removing one of the batteries
for 20 seconds in order to reset the unit. Re-install the batteries. If
the unit does not work correctly, replace all the batteries paying
careful attention to proper polarity.
Action #2: Make sure that you have the unit turned on and the
volume turned up to an audible volume.
Action #3: Make sure that you are holding both the record button
AND the plate switch SIMULTANEOUSLY while you are recording.
Action #4: Make sure that there is nothing covering the Mic
Problem: The unit is playing old messages fine, but will not record
new messages.
Action #1: Check your batteries – There is a 99% chance that
either one is installed incorrectly and/or one is weak/dead.
Care of the Unit:
The Mini-Com can be wiped clean with any household multi-purpose,
non-abrasive cleaner and disinfectant.
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.
