Operation
- Carefully turn unit over and remove the small screw from the battery compartment. Slide the battery compartment cover off. Observing polarity, install four AA size batteries (Not included) into the holder. Replace cover and screw. For Talkable 2 you must install 4 AAA batteries. Alkaline batteries must be used 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 brands, types or old and new batteries together. Replace the battery compartment cover and replace the screw.
- Turn the unit on by turning the ON/OFF/VOLUME knob located on the bottom panel of the unit. To record, first press and hold the red “RECORD” button press down one of the colored plates. While continuing to hold the plate down, speak your message. Release both when you finish recording. Record on the remaining plates in the same manner.
- To play back your message, press lightly on the plate of your choice. It is not necessary to continue holding the plate down when listening to the message. The unit will continue to playback the entire message, even if pressure on the plate is released.
- 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.
- Playback volume can be adjusted using the “ON/OFF/VOLUME” control knob located on the bottom panel of the unit.
To use as a switch
-
This unit can also be used to activate switch adapted toys or devices.
Simply attach the toy or device to the corresponding 1/8 inch female jack using the cords provided. There is an output jack for each or the switch plates. When the plate is pressed, the message will play and the toy or device will be activated. Make sure all connections are tight with no gaps between plug and device. -
The Talkables have two locations for placing Icons or Pictures. On the back of the unit there is a holding strip where Icons or Photos can be placed. There is also a removable clear cover on the built in round switch plate which icons or photos can be placed. When inserting icon in the back holding strip, insert your icon by starting at one side of the strip. Put the icon in at a slight angle for easy installation. See figure on back page.
Please Note:
When using the holding strip if you’re Icons, Photos or words are printed on
regular printer paper, we recommend laminating them. If not they will not
stand upright or be secure in the holding strip.
