Message Record
This option is used in conjuction with a house telephone (microphone) to record up to 10
custom voice messages. Each message occupies a 6 second block. Two or more
consecutive blocks may be linked together for longer times. Total record time cannot exceed
60 seconds. These messages require the Ness-RP software, which utilize these messages
together with the built-in 500+ word vocabulary to construct voice phrases for many uses,
including the voice dialer. Press the RIGHT arrow key to begin custom message record.
Selects any one of the custom messages (VM01-VM10) for playback or recording. Press the
UP or DOWN arrow keys to select. To Play the selected message press the RIGHT arrow key.
The message will play through Output 1 speakers. To record a new message press the LEFT
arrow key. To exit press the * key.
This sets the number of consecutive 6 sec. record blocks. The default is 01 blocks which is
normally long enough for most applications. However, to create a longer message press the
RIGHT arrow key and enter the number 01 to 02, etc. NOTE: Creating longer messages
reduces the total number of custom messages. This screen also allows all messages to be
played “PlayAll” by pressing the RIGHT arrow key. When ready to record press the LEFT arrow
key.
This is the prerecord screen. To begin recording: 1) lift the house phone (off hook), 2) press
the LEFT arrow key, 3) start speaking. To stop recording press the “0” key. If stop is not
pressed, recording will automatically end after 6 sec. (or the total number of blocks times 6
seconds).
NOTE: A local house phone is used as the microphone. Installer programming menu 07,
option 1, must be set to a 1 in order for the local phone to be recognized by the control.
This will display as soon as recording has stopped. To play the new message press the
RIGHT arrow key. To record the message again press the LEFT arrow key and follow the
same procedures again. To exit press the * key.
