The order in which features are programmed does
not make a difference. The following examples assume
that the VoicePal Max has been configured, a mode of
operation (direct selection, scanning, external switch)
has been programmed, and the messages are recorded.
Example 9: Program Relay A to be activated by
message 1. The relay will activate an adapted toy for the
duration of the message.

Example 10: Program two relays to be operated by
two separate messages. Message 1 will activate an
environmental control (e.g. Adaptivation’s FreeSwitch)
which will activate a clock radio immediately after the
message plays. Message two will activate a battery
operated toy for the duration of the message.

When message 1 is activated, the message will play
and immediately after Relay A will activate the ECU and
turn the radio on. Message 2 will turn on the toy for as
long as the message plays.
Example 11: Program message 1 to activate an
ECU with a radio immediately following the message.
Message 2 will also activate the same ECU only there
will be a four second delay following the end of the
message. Relay A will be used.
