Maintenance

SMOOTH TALKER with LEVELS

 has no user serviceable parts. If repair is necessary the unit should be 

returned to Pretorian Technologies or an authorised Distributor.

Low Level Erase

It is possible to erase all of the messages on all five Levels using the Low Level Erase feature. This will 

also set the playback modes on all Levels back to Sequential. To perform a Low Level Erase, first put 

the unit into Record Mode by pressing and holding the Record button [1]. Once the Record LED [2] is lit, 

press and hold

 the Erase/Pair button [9] until you hear the ‘Press again to confirm’ announcement. If you 

wish to proceed, release the button and press it briefly once again. All messages and settings will then 

be erased and a further announcement will advise when it is complete. Erasing a full memory can take 

several seconds.

Replacement Charging Cable

If you should misplace the charging cable which is shipped with your 

SMOOTH TALKER with LEVELS

replacements can be purchased from most technology retailers. The cable is the same as a camera cable 

and may, in most cases, be ordered as such. An alternative description is: USB type A plug to mini-USB 

plug cable.
