you have pressed a button and the message has been played, the 

VocaFlex® Colour 

immediately goes into “sleep mode” until a button is pressed again.   
 

EXTERNAL CONNECTION: 

You can connect an external loudspeaker or a telephone connection unit  

on the back of

 the 

VocaFlex® Colour 

.  By using a telephone connection unit (for 

example “Falck 3322 TelefonTilkobler”) the sound from 
the 

VocaFlex® Colour 

will be transmitted to the phone 

line so that both the user and the person he/she is 
speaking with can hear. An external loudspeaker is 
suitable for use in classrooms, or in situations where 
many people are gathered and a high level of volume 
is required. 

 
 

HOLD DOWN DELAY AND RELEASE DELAY: 

 

VocaFlex® Colour 

is constructed so that you can put speech messages in cue, which 

means you can push several successive keys and get your messages played one by one 
without waiting for each message to finish before pushing next key. This can be of great 
help for users who are able to build sentences. However, this may cause some problems 
for users with trembling hands and for persons who tend push repetitively. You will 
therefore find a ServiceGuide included with the 

VocaFlex® Colour 

for setting “Hold 

down delay” and “Release delay”. 
 

Hold down delay: 

“Hold down delay” is the duration a key has to be 
held down before the speech message is activated. 
This time can be set from 0 to 8 seconds on 

VocaFlex® Colour 

. Users that tremble and 

therefore tend to activate the same message 
multiple times can avoid this by setting the Hold 
down delay. 

VocaFlex® Colour 

will then only 

register a key press if it lasts for the set time. 
Trembling will not be registered as pressing the 
key. 
 

Release delay: 

“Release delay” is the period after a key press has been accepted before another key 
press will be accepted as valid. This may be useful for people who press a key multiple 
times in order to activate a message; resulting in multiple activations. This can be 
avoided by setting the Release delay. Release delay can be set from 0 to 8 seconds on 

VocaFlex® Colour
