Loading MP3 Files:
• Loading audio files onto the LB-5A memory stick:
Any size of USB memory stick can be used with the unit but it must be formatted to
a FAT 32 file system (the usual file system used on this type of device).
Any file preparation is best carried out on a PC using a suitable application such
as Windows Explorer on Windows-based computers and Finder on Apple Mac
computers.
It is recommended that the files to be used on the unit are copied onto the memory
stick first and then, if necessary, renamed in accordance with the requirements listed
below. This allows the source files to retain their original names which will possibly be
more meaningful to the operator if required again in the future.
The files loaded onto the memory stick must adhere to the
following guidelines:
• All message-type files i.e. those files to be used in the ‘Message’, ‘Alarm’ and
‘Chime’ banks
MUST be located in the root directory of the memory stick, NOT in any
sub-directories.
• They must be of an MP3 file type i.e. have a .mp3 file extension.
• All speech message type files should have a half second (500mS) silence at the start
of the file to prevent any loss of conveyed information due to processing activity.
• The background music files (BGM) must be located in a sub-directory (folder) off
the root directory and must be named ‘MUSIC’. The naming structure of the audio
files is not critical apart from the fact that they must have the .mp3 extension.
• All the files in the root directory (the message, alarm, and chime bank files) must be
named in accordance with the table opposite...
