Playing Messages from a SimplyWorks Switch

 

1. 

Place a SimplyWorks wireless switch close to

 SMOOTH TALKER with LEVELS

.

 

2. 

Ensure the 

SMOOTH TALKER with LEVELS

 is not in Record Mode.

 

3. 

Press and hold the Pair Button [9] on SMOOTH TALKER until LED 6 flashes slowly.

 

4. 

Immediately press the Pair Button on the SimplyWorks switch. The Pair LED on  

 

 

SMOOTH TALKER with LEVELS

 continues to flash slowly until pairing is complete,  

 

 

at which point the Pair LED lights steadily for 5 seconds.

The  SimplyWorks  wireless  switch  can  be  almost  any  SimplyWorks  transmitter.  As  well  as  SWITCH 

125 and SWITCH 75, SimplyWorks SEND can be used to make any switch wireless. Even SimplyWorks 

JOYSTICK can be used - as a wobble switch!

Note that wired and wireless switches can co-exist and perform the same function.

Controlling Battery Operated Toys/Appliances

To enhance the user experience and provide positive reinforcement, 

SMOOTH TALKER with LEVELS

 can 

activate battery operated toys and appliances. Plug any switch adapted toy or appliance into the toy/

appliance socket [5]. To assign a message to the toy/appliance press the Record Button [1] briefly during 

message recording. Every time this message is played the toy/appliance will activate for the duration 

of the message. If the message is brief, consider adding a period of silence or even add some music so 

the toy or appliance can perform for the required period. Any (or all) messages may have toy output 

assigned.

Alternatively,  for  wireless  activation  of  the  toy/appliance, 

SMOOTH  TALKER  with  LEVELS

  must  be 

paired with a SimplyWorks toy controller:

 

1. 

Connect the toy/appliance to any toy controller e.g. CONTROL LITE, CONTROL or  

 

 

CONTROL PRO.

 

2. 

Press the Pair Button on the toy controller and the Pair LED will begin to flash slowly.

 

3. 

Now press the Pair Button [9] 

briefly

 on 

SMOOTH TALKER with LEVELS

. The Pair  

 

 

LED on the toy controller will continue to flash slowly until pairing is complete at  

 

 

which point the Pair LED will light steadily for 5 seconds. 

 

4. 

Assign a message following the above procedure.

Note that wired and wireless toys can co-exist and will be turned on and off simultaneously.

Controlling Software During Message Playback

SMOOTH TALKER with LEVELS

 may also be paired with SimplyWorks RECEIVE to allow software to be 

controlled by messages

which are assigned to toy/appliance control.

 

1. 

Briefly press the Pair Button on RECEIVE and the Pair LED will begin to flash slowly.

 

2. 

Now press the Pair Button [9] 

briefly

 on SMOOTH TALKER. The Pair LED on RECEIVE  

 

 

will continue to flash slowly until pairing is complete at which point the Pair LED  

 

 

will light steadily for 5 seconds.

Whenever  a  message  is  played  which  has  toy/appliance  control  assigned,  RECEIVE  sends  the  Enter 

character to the computer via the USB lead for the duration of the message. This allows software which 

uses Enter to be used alongside 

SMOOTH TALKER with LEVELS

.
