For example, the carer and user are making an
excursion to a fast food restaurant. The carer pre-
records the following messages:
Message 1: “Hamburger”
Message 2: “Pizza”
Message 3: “Ice Cream”
Message 4: “Hot dog”
On arrival at the restaurant, the user decides
she would like a hot dog. The carer discreetly
steps through to message 4 and then the user
approaches the cashier and presses the main
switch. The message “Hot dog” is played back at
normal volume levels.
QUESTION & ANSWER
Record your messages as Question and Answer
pairs and then this mode allows the question
and answer to be repeated multiple times
before moving on, allowing reiteration and
reinforcement. For example, suppose the
following messages are recorded:
Messages 1/2:
What is your favourite colour?
Blue
Messages 3/4:
Do you have a pet?
Yes, I have a dog
Messages 5/6:
Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Yes, I have a sister.
Press the external switch to hear message 1 (the
first question) and in case it needs reiteration, it
may be repeated any number of times. Pressing
the main switch will then play the second
message (the corresponding answer) and in
case it needs reinforcement, it may be repeated
any number of times. To move on to the next
question and answer pair once the first question
and answer have been heard, press the external
switch to hear the second question. Once all the
question and answer pairs have been played, the
sequence starts again from the beginning.
To re-start the question and answer sequence
from the beginning, press the record button [1]
briefly at any time.
Stopping a Message
Other than in Prompt mode, playback of a message may be ended early by briefly pressing the Record
button [1]. Playback continues with the next message when the relevant switch is next pressed.
Playing Messages from an External Wired Switch
Attach any wired switch with a 3.5mm plug into the switch input socket [4]. For sequential, random and
random (no repeats) modes, the external switch behaves in the same way as the main switch. In all other
modes, the external switch is required as a second switch.
Re-starting a sequence
Other than in Prompt mode, the unit may be made to start the playback sequence over again by briefly
pressing the Record button [1]. The outcomes in each playback mode are as follows:
Sequential:
Sequence begins again starting at message 1.
Random:
No effect
Random (no Repeats):
All messages are re-engaged and elimination begins again.
Choice:
No effect
Choice Progression:
Sequence begins again with messages 1/2.
Converse:
Sequence begins again with message 1 (1st user).
Q & A:
Sequence begins again with messages 1/2.
