RECORDING YOUR QUICK TALK
TM
VOICE MESSAGES ...................................................................................................................
Custom Voice Messages
Recording customized Quick Talk
TM
voice messages gives them unmistakable meaning and significance. The standard factory
prerecorded messages of “Switch Open” and “Switch Closed” require the listener to know how the switch works and what it does.
However, when a user hears a custom message such as ‘Water pump three running hot”, the meaning is clear.
If the factory recorded messages “Switch Open” and “Switch Closed” suit your application, recording custom messages is not
necessary.
To record a custom message, follow the instructions in the Recording Your Quick Talk
TM
Voice Messages section of this manual. Once
recorded, play back the message to be sure you are satisfied with the quality and content of the message.
