Operation:
1.
The Mini-Com requires 4 AA batteries to operate (Not included).
2.
Gently turn the unit over to reveal the black battery compartment.
Carefully remove the small screw from the battery compartment cover
using a Phillips head screwdriver, and slide the battery compartment
cover off. Observing polarity, install four AA size batteries into the holder.
Alkaline batteries are recommended because they last longer. Do not
use rechargeable batteries because they supply lower voltage and the
unit may not perform as well. Replace the battery compartment cover
and replace the screw.
3.
Turn the unit on by turning the ON/OFF/VOLUME knob (black knob)
located on the back panel of the unit clockwise. You will hear an audible
click when the unit turns on.
4.
To record, simply press and hold the red “RECORD” button on the back
panel of the unit, while simultaneously holding down the plate switch.
While continuing to hold the record button and the plate switch, speak
your message. Your mouth should be about 6 inches from the
microphone when recording (the Mic is the “fuzzy” black circle on the
back of the unit). Release both the record button and the plate switch
when you finish recording.
5.
Slide a picture card or photograph in the opening of the plastic strip.
6.
To play back your message, simply activate the plate switch. It is not
necessary to continue holding the plate switch when listening to the
message. The unit will continue to playback the entire message, even if
pressure on the plate is released.
7.
The unit will retain recorded information indefinitely, even if the batteries
are disconnected. Previously stored information will be erased only when
a new recording is performed.
8.
Playback volume can be adjusted using the “ON/OFF/VOLUME” control
knob located on the back panel of the unit.
