GENERAL OPERATION:
All controls are located on the back of the PARTNER/PLUS FOUR.
The PARTNER/PLUS FOUR augmentative communicator is a self-contained communication device, which permits the user to record and
playback 4 messages per level of 6 seconds in length each. Graphic overlays (picture card) can be easily changed by simply sliding the overlay
between the housing grid and the message square through the slot on the side of the grid. Simple to operate, just turn the unit on, adjust the
volume, select and push the picture to activate the corresponding message.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
1.
Make sure that the PARTNER/PLUS FOUR is turned off. Set VOLUME control switch fully counterclockwise, until it clicks
off.
2.
Turn the PARTNER/PLUS FOUR over and lay the front of the unit on a flat stable surface.
3.
To gain access to the battery compartment and expose the batteries, remove the screw holding down the plastic battery cover on
the left side of the bottom of the unit.
4.
Remove the old batteries and discard them in accordance with your local recycling laws.
5.
Install the new batteries observing the proper polarity and using 4 new AAA batteries.
6.
Then replace the battery compartment cover by placing the cover over the access hole and tighten down the screw. Insure the
battery cover is secure.
RECORD OPERATION:
Note: It is important during any recording operation that the built in microphone located at the back of the PARTNER/PLUS FOUR is
clear and open.
1.
Turn the PARTNER/PLUS FOUR ON. Turn the VOLUME control switch clockwise, until it clicks ON.
2.
Set the VOLUME control, turning clockwise, until it reaches the center of the range.
3.
Depress and hold in the internal recording button (see diagram – BACK VIEW). The internal recording button must be engaged
for the entire recording process.
4.
Select one of the 4 message squares on the face of the PARTNER/PLUS FOUR and depress and hold down that message square,
then begin to say your message into the built in microphone located at the back of the PARTNER/PLUS FOUR. For the best
results, you should speak directly into the microphone and be about 6 to 9 inches away from it in a quiet room.
5.
Each of the remaining message squares can be programmed in the same manner.
