General description
This talking measuring jug announces the measurements in imperial or metric in a
natural male English voice. The contents being measured are spoken either
automatically when poured into the jug or you can press a button for an
announcement. You can also convert readings between imperial and metric.
Orientation
The main unit is a solid plastic mould which incorporates the carry handle, the base for
the plastic jug, and the function buttons. The removable plastic jug is attached to the
base by placing it in position with the lip facing away from the unit and then clipping it
in place.
There are four operating buttons on the unit. The
Speak
button is located on top of the
handle and three further buttons are positioned on the side of the unit, with the handle
facing towards the right. From top to bottom these are:
Zero
,
Units
and
Liquid
. These
are now described in detail as follows:
Speak button:
Press this button to hear the announcement of a measurement.
However, the unit will automatically speak the measurement when a liquid is poured
into the jug. If no button has been pressed within the previous 30 seconds the jug will
indicate the liquid being measured followed by the amount, otherwise only the amount
will be spoken.
Zero button:
Used to reset the measurement to zero. This can be done when
measuring multiple ingredients. For example, if you have a recipe which requires you
to add a specific amount of milk to a cake mix then you could add the mix to the jug,
press
Zero
then measure the milk while adding it to the mix. This is known as a Tare
function.
Please note:
The jug cannot read less than zero, so if you press the
Zero
button and
remove some of the contents it will continue to say “zero”. If you have used the Tare
function it is important to remember before taking new measurements to press the
Zero
button again with the jug empty.
