Content for your Period Telephone is
stored on a MicroSD card (supplied pre-
programmed). We suggest you use this
as a template for uploading your own
content.
Should you need to use a different
MicroSD Card we suggest you format the
new card first to ‘FAT’ or ‘FAT32’
To program your content, you will need;
1. A PC or laptop with Windows OS
2. Audio Content in .mp3 format
(supports up to 99 files)
3. MicroSD Card (supplied)
4. MicroSD to USB convertor (supplied)
Windows OS is required to program your
Control Box / Period Telephone using a
PC or Laptop (Xp
– 10). MacOS is not
supported due to hidden files generated
by the OS.
When programming your MicroSD Card
the amount of files you add will determine
the mode of operation for your telephone.
