Preparing the SD Card
The DM-8 message player requires an SD card (or microSD with adaptor) to read the message and schedule information
from. The SD card should be formatted to FAT32 and is recommended to be between 4GB and 32GB in capacity.
NOTE
: It is necessary to use a new or completely blank
SD card. If re-using an existing SD card, it must be fully
formatted using the application called
, which is available at the
website. The standard
“
Format
”
function provided by
your PC operating system does not always remove all of
the data and the SD card might not work with the DM-8.
If pre-recorded messages are to be used, these must be
in standard mp3 audio format and stored to the root
folder of the SD card with file names as follows
…
“
M001
.mp3,
M002
.mp3,
M003
.mp3
…
M099
.mp3
”
…
for up to 99 message tracks.
The message tracks must be stored into a folder called
MESSA
, which itself needs to be in the root folder of the
SD card, for the DM-8 to recognize them.
The message schedule must be stored on the SD card as
a text file, named as
schedule.txt
which can be created
using the free
DM8_Schedule_Editor.exe
application.
