9.0 Using the MP3 Player
The use of prerecorded messages is recommended whenever possible. Prerecording ensures
that messages are appropriately worded and clearly broadcasted to maximize the effectiveness
of communications.
The LRAD-100X’s MP3 player allows operators to utilize prerecorded messages in the field.
Some operators have found it useful to record a message in several different languages to meet
their communication needs.
If professionally produced voice recordings in multiple languages are needed, please contact
your Genasys sales representative.
The MP3 player is preloaded with a number of warning and test messages that may be freely
used or deleted as needed. The MP3 player is capable of playing MP3, WAV, and WMA file
formats.
10.0 Downloading Files
Additional audio files can be downloaded onto the MP3 player by connecting to a USB-enabled
computer. First connect the USB download cable (item 7 in Figure 1) to the MIC/USB connector
on the MP3 player, then connect the USB download cable to the computer’s USB port.
NOTE
: If the order of the cable connection is not followed as described above, the MP3
player may not be recognized by the USB-enabled computer.
Upon connecting the MP3 player’s USB interface to the computer, the MP3 player’s display will
change from the initial splash screen to the MP3 player’s mass storage screen as seen in the
figure below.
