The 6 Level Communicator is a self-contained communication device
which allows the user to record and play back 48 different messages of
up to five seconds each. Interchangeable picture cards (yours or ours)
slide behind the switch plate face - the user simply touches one of the
2” square pictures to activate the corresponding message. A switch on
the back of the unit allows you to select the set of pre-recorded
messages for each card. Excellent for use as a communication device
and a teaching tool.
OPERATION:
1. Carefully turn over unit to reveal battery compartment. Observing
polarity, install four AA batteries (included) into the holder.
2. Move the LEVEL SELECTOR Switch on the back of the unit to
Level 1.
3. 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 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.)
4. Move the LEVEL SELECTOR Switch to Level 2 and repeat
Step 3.
5. Continue programming additional levels if necessary.
6. Draw or print corresponding icons or words on a sheet of paper
measuring 5 1/2” x 10” so they will appear through the 8 cutouts
on the housing when inserted.
7. Carefully insert the sheet between the two top cover plates. Slide
the page down until your icons or words appear through the 8
square windows.
8. To playback, select the level and then touch the appropriate
window.
9. Playback volume can be adjusted using the control provided on
the back panel of the unit, next to the RECORD button.
10. 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:
When switching from one level to another, allow 5 seconds for the
unit to switch programs before recording new messages or playing
back existing messages.
Additional paper inserts may be cut from regular paper to the
recommended size of 5 ½” x 10” to fit properly into the housing.
The 6 Level Communicator will shut off automatically after playback
to preserve battery life. However, the 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 (more than a few days), it is
recommended to turn OFF the unit by rotating the VOLUME control
knob counterclockwise until you hear an audible “click”.
If the unit fails to operate, or operates incorrectly, the following steps
should be performed:
Disconnect the power by turning OFF the unit for 20 seconds to
reset the unit. If the unit still does not work correctly after the
power is reconnected, replace the batteries observing proper
polarity.
Make sure there are no obstacles between the square buttons and
the housing unit.
