Charging the batteries:
VocaFlex® Colour
is delivered with fully charged batteries. It may, however, have been
stored for a while before delivery.
VocaFlex® Colour
uses 0,6 mAh in stand-by mode,
and the batteries may therefore be flat or almost flat upon delivery.
Start recharging
VocaFlex® Colour at least 30 minutes before you use it for the first time
(you may
use it while it’s being recharged). Flat batteries will need 4 hours of recharging.
Overlays:
In order to use
VocaFlex® Colour
you must first make an overlay. You may choose to
use one of the demonstration overlays in your VocaCover or you can use the SmartGuide
with a mounted overlay. If you have the model ”
Falck VocaFlex® Colour Universal
”,
you must make sure to choose a bar code, which corresponds to the number of locations
on the overlay.
Laminating overlays:
If you are using a color printer to print the overlays, the colors may rub off and stain the
SmartGuide. To prevent this you may put laminated sheeting over the overlay before
mounting it to the SmartGuide. You will find a small plastic bag in the front of the cover,
which contains laminated sheeting. Remove the protection sheet and fasten the
laminated sheeting to the overlay before you mount it all to the back of the SmartGuide.
Do not laminate both sides of the overlay, - do not laminate the side with the barcode.
GETTING STARTED:
You are recommended to read the whole user manual before you start making overlays
and recording messages. However, here is a brief description of how to get started with a
SmartGuide and a mounted overlay. You will find the SmartGuide in the back of the
VocaCover and an overlay numbered from 1 to 4, 1 to 8 or 1 to 16 (depending on your
model) is already mounted.
First make sure your
VocaFlex® Colour
is fully charged. Unpack
VocaFlex® Colour
and the battery charger. Connect the charger to a wall outlet and then plug the
charger plug in the power input on the back of
VocaFlex® Colour
. Check that the
red LED lights up. If the batteries are flat when you connect the charger, it might take
a few minutes before the LED starts lighting (the batteries must be charged a bit
before they can provide the LED with enough power to light). If the batteries are fully
charged, the LED will light green
A SmartGuide with a mounted overlay is included. Put this SmartGuide on the
VocaFlex.
Set the Play/Record switch to Record (see illustration below).
Hold
Falck VocaFlex® Colour
approximately 15-20 cm from your mouth and angled
slightly away from you .
Press a key and hold it down while you say the message.
Release the key.
Set the Play/Record switch to Play (see illustration next page).
Press the key you used for recording to test the recording.
The message you recorded will now be played.
