Controlling Mains Powered Devices During Message Playback
Electrical appliances can also be controlled wirelessly using an ENERGISE or iCLICK mains appliance
controller. Plug the ENERGISE/iCLICK power cable into an electrical socket and the electrical appliance
into socket number one. Briefly press Pair Button 1 on ENERGISE/iCLICK and the Pair LED will begin to
flash slowly. Briefly press the Pair Button [9] on SMOOTH TALKER. The Pair LED on ENERGISE/iCLICK
will continue to flash slowly until pairing is complete at which point the Pair LED will light steadily for 5
seconds. Assign a message using the above procedure.
Optimising the Battery Life
To conserve battery life
SMOOTH TALKER with LEVELS
automatically enters a power saving mode after
20 minutes without use. The Simply Works wireless transmitter/receiver is shut down, which saves
power but also prevents reception of switch activation information from external wireless switches. To
wake up
SMOOTH TALKER with LEVELS
from power saving, simply press any button or the main switch.
If you are not going to use
SMOOTH TALKER with LEVELS
for more than a few minutes it is best to turn
it off completely using the volume control [3]. This also prevents accidental presses of the main switch
from playing messages during transportation.
Inserting Prompt Cards
A picture card may be inserted into the open lid of
SMOOTH TALKER with LEVELS
to act as a visual
prompt. The card should be 75mm wide, and 35mm or more in height. Should the array of LEDs and
buttons distract users when the lid is open, the Card may be made around 75mm high to obscure the
LEDs and buttons, as shown here:
Low Battery Warning
If a message is cut short during playback and/or LED 10 flashes red, this is an indication that the battery
is exhausted and should be recharged. Turning the volume down will prevent messages being cut short
and extend battery life a little. Please note that the unit can continue to be used normally while charging.
