AUDITORY CUEING:
During Message Scanning you can enable the communicator to speak the message being
scanned, but at reduced volume. This gives the user an auditory “preview” of the current
message. Pressing the capability switch again will play the current message at full volume. To
turn Auditory Cueing ON or OFF, press buttons 2 & 3 simultaneously and hold until a “beep” is
heard.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Problem:
The unit fails to operate, or operates incorrectly.
Action #1:
Make sure that you have fresh batteries in the unit and that they are installed
according to proper polarity.
Action #2:
Make sure that the volume is turned up to an audible level
Action #3:
Make sure that there is nothing inhibiting the depression of the touch pad OR
pressing the touch pad down (i.e. icons, crumbs, sticky juice, etc.)
Action #5:
If you are using an external capability switch, make sure that there is a TIGHT
connection between the switch and the unit (there should be NO gaps). Especially check this
when using adapters. Any gaps will cause the unit to function incorrectly or not work at all.
Action #6:
If you are using an external capability switch, test that switch with another device to
rule out the switch as the source of the problem. Do the same with any adapters that you may
be using.
REPLACING BATTERIES:
Replace batteries regularly. Weak batteries will cause the Choice 4 to act erratically, such as
shutting off while playing messages.
Use brand name ALKALINE batteries ONLY (e.g. Duracell or Eveready Energizer).
Do NOT use rechargeable batteries.
Do NOT mix new and old batteries.
To extend battery life, always shut the Choice 4 OFF when not in use.
Always remove batteries when the unit will not be used for extended periods of time. Dead
batteries often leak acid and can cause permanent damage to the communicator.
PRECAUTIONS:
Never hit the icon surface with a hard object or permanent damage can result.
Never tape or affix anything directly to the icon surface.
Always keep a paper insert installed in the Choice 4 to protect the activation cells.
Always keep liquids far away from the communicator to prevent permanent damage to the
internal circuitry from spillage.
CARE OF UNIT:
The 4 Choice Communicator can be wiped clean with any household multi-purpose cleaner and
disinfectant. We recommend Simple Green, which is a non toxic biodegradable all-purpose
cleaner.
Do not submerge
the unit, as it will damage the contents and the electrical components.
Do not use abrasive cleaners,
as they will scratch the surface of the unit.
