42 Technical information about BeoTalk 1100
Capacity
Total speech time of up to 10 minutes for outgoing
announcements, incoming messages and internal messages.
Memory
When pressing the
+
button, the symbol in the display
shows how much of the memory has been used. The memory
status depends on how much space the outgoing
announcements and the new messages take up.
The symbol for memory used is shown in 5 steps:
, , ,
,
where indicates almost no memory used,
and almost the entire memory used.
When the entire memory has been filled, flashes in the dis-
play, it is then necessary to play new messages in order to
gain more space.
The memory for announcements, messages and phone num-
ber lists works independently of any power failure.
Automatic deleting and compressing of messages
BeoTalk 1100 automatically deletes all messages played,
when more space is needed.
If no more messages can be deleted and the memory remains
full owing to too many new messages, BeoTalk 1100 com-
presses these messages so that they take up less space in the
memory. Compressed messages are perfectly comprehensible,
but with slightly less clarity.
After compressing, if there is still not enough memory for
new messages, BeoTalk 1100 automatically switches to play-
ing Announcement Only. If no announcement for
Announcement Only has been recorded, BeoTalk 1100 plays
Announcement and Message followed by a series of tones
that are interrupted at a slow tempo.
The symbol is shown in the display when BeoTalk 1100
plays compressed messages.
In order to gain more space it is necessary to play new
messages.
It is still possible to operate BeoTalk 1100 when automatic
compressing is in progress. During the compressing
flashes
in the display.
After compressing, the sound quality will be reduced until
ALL new messages have been played.
