B. Downloading .wav Files (optional)
The
SLP-4
comes factory loaded with 8 CD quality chime/messages. These chime/messages work well for differenti-
ating between up to four different doors when wired to doorbell buttons. The default DIP switch settings have the
SLP-
4
playing the Westminster 4, Ding Dong, Triangle 2 and Goblet Chimes, as shown on page 8. Users may choose to
select any of the other factory loaded chime/messages (Wind Chime Notes, Door Knock, Alert Tone 2 or Dogs Barking),
which best fits their household style. For a truly custom sounding doorbell chime/message, users may download their
own .wav files into the
SLP-4
from a computer via the USB connection. Recording up to 8 different theme or season-
al recordings such as team fight songs, jingle bells, Halloween sounds, Brahm’s Lullaby, Harley rev, electric guitar riff,
etc., all become possible. Go to
www.vikingelectronics.com
, select Software Downloads, and then choose
SLP-4
Message Manager
to proceed.
Wave File Guidelines:
1.
For best results, the .wav file should be 16 bit / 44.1K / mono.
2.
Resolution down to 8 bits is acceptable but audio quality will not be optimal.
3.
Sampling rates of 22k and 11k are also acceptable.
4.
The .wav file may be stereo or multi-channel, but only the Left Channel will be loaded.
5.
Each of the 8 Memory Locations can hold up to 44 seconds of recorded audio.
6.
Total recording time of 5 minutes 52 seconds available.
7.
Longer recordings are allowed to spill over into additional memory locations.
When using the
SLP-4 Message Manager
software, there is the option to select either the “Stack” or “Interrupt”
Chime/Message Mode. The
SLP-4
is factory set in the “Stack” mode which means if the front doorbell button and the
back doorbell button are pressed at about the same time, the
SLP-4
will fully play the first chime/message, and then
fully play the second chime/message. The “Interrupt” mode works well if the
SLP-4
is being used as a museum or infor-
mation display 4 button audio server (see page 4). This works well for this application because each new push of the
button will instantly start playing the recording the user requested.
A delay time can be programmed from when the
SLP-4
provides the page trigger signal, until the door chime record-
ing starts to play. This is useful if the whole house audio system needs additional delay time before it is ready to pass
audio. In the
SLP-4 Message Manager
software Options box, a “Trigger Delay” time from 1 to 9 seconds may be
selected.

A. Paging
To page throughout the house/small business, simply press
#
, then
7
(the letter “
P
” key on your keypad). Speak into the phone
receiver and your voice will be heard throughout the house or small business over the speakers. If background music is present over
the speakers, it will automatically mute allowing your page to be heard. If you have a caller on the phone, they will automatically be
put on hold. You can get the caller back by simply pressing
#8
or by momentarily hanging up.
Note:
The
PAGE
LED will light dur-
ing paging, and the
AUDIO
LED will flash with paging audio.
B. Placing a Call On Hold
To place a call on hold, simply press
#
then
6
(the letter “
O
” key on your keypad), two beeps should be heard confirming the call is
on hold, then hang up. The call can then be taken on another phone elsewhere in your home or small business. Optional Music-On-
Hold can be provided.
C. Releasing a Call On Hold
If you hang up the phone after placing a call on hold, simply coming off-hook with any phone will return you to the caller on hold. If
you have placed a caller on hold (
#6
) or have announced a page (
#7
) and have remained off-hook, enter
#8
or momentarily hang
up to return to the caller on hold.
If the caller hangs up while on hold, the
SLP-4
can sense a CPC disconnect signal and will automatically release the line.
Note:
The
SLP-4
has a maximum on-hold call time of 1 hour. After a caller has been on hold for 1 hour, the
SLP-4
will automatically dis-
connect the call.
D. On-Hold Alarm Tones
The
SLP-4
can provide on-hold alarm tones to alert you that a caller has been left on hold. After each minute the call has been left
on hold, the
SLP-4
will momentarily mute the background music and output a double beep tone over the speakers. This feature can
be disabled by setting DIP switch
2
to
OFF
(see
DIP Switch Programming
page 8).
