Simply insert the usb drive with the mp3 file on the drive into the 1200M unit. Within 5 seconds, the USB 1200 will
begin to load the audio from the USB flash to internal memory. The unit will play the audio as it is loading to memory.
While loading the audio file to internal memory, the USB 1200’s LED will stay solid yellow, then turn green when audio
file is loaded.
Instructions for playing one of multiple files from the USB flash drive.
You can select one file (from up to 6 files) to play. The mp3 file (s) will need to be labeled properly in order for the unit to
differentiate the files. The number (1-6) needs to be in front of the name of the mp3 file.
For example: 1your-company.mp3, 2yourcompany.mp3.
Select the file you would like to play by pressing and holding the speaker button. Watch the LED and count the number of orange
blinks to play the corresponding file. For example: holding the speaker button and waiting for 4 orange blinks from the LED will
play the file beginning with 4. After you have selected the message number to play, the LED will blink the number of blinks for the
audio file chosen.

Simply insert the USB drive with the MP3 files on the drive into the 1200M unit. The number of files you can have are
