Information Message
This option details what notice occurs when the button is held down for the extended push time. This typically allows for a
custom message that gives blind pedestrians additional information on the street they are crossing and its cross street.
The options noted as ‘with Pulse’ give a vibrotactile pulse at the beginning of a button push and a second pulse when the
button is held down for the extended push time.
The options noted as ‘no Pulse’ only have a vibrotactile pulse at the
beginning of the button push and only the sound will play at the extended push time.
The sound options are:
•
Tick: A click sound is heard. This is the same sound file that is configurable as Click in the Push Confirm Message
setting.
•
Custom: A special-ordered or programmed information message sound. If no custom sound has been loaded, then
the Custom option contains the click sound.
•
Direction:
“Traveling North” or whichever direction is selected for the Direction Message option will play.
•
Direction: The custom sound will play followed by “Traveling North” or whichever direction is selected for
the Direction Message option.
