Motion sensor lights!

We’ve added four bright LED lights to our popular Put-em-Around communicator. Any motion in front of the communicator will activate the lights.

An adjustable sensitivity knob allows you to adjust the distance it takes to activate the lights (0 to 3 feet). Allows people with low vision to locate the communicator. See Put-em-Arounds (above) for detailed description of communicator features. Size: 8"L x 6½"W x 1½"H. Requires 4 AA Batteries.

Weight: 1 lb.

Operation:

1. Light Up Put-em-around requires 4 AA batteries to operate.

Carefully remove the black Velcro backed battery cover to reveal the black battery compartments. Observing polarity, install four AA size batteries into the holders. Use alkaline batteries only (e.g. Duracell or Energizer brand). Do not use rechargeable batteries or any other type of batteries because they supply lower voltage and the unit will not perform properly.

Never mix old and new batteries together or different brands or types together. Replace the battery compartment cover.

2. Turn the unit on by turning the ON/OFF/VOLUME knob located on the side of the unit clockwise. You will hear an audible click when the unit turns on.

3. The LED lights are controlled by the Sensitivity knob located on the top of the unit. This will allow sensitivity adjustment of when the LED lights are activated by movement in front of the unit. When the lights are activated they will stay on for approximately 2 to 3 seconds then shut off.

4. To record, simply press and hold the “RECORD” button on the side panel of the unit, while simultaneously holding down the plate switch. While continuing to hold the record button and the plate switch, speak your message. Your mouth should be about 6 inches from the microphone when recording (the Mic is the “fuzzy” black circle on the side of the unit).

Release both the record button and the plate switch when you finish recording.

5. Remove the clear cover and place a picture card or photograph etc., on top of the switch plate. Replace clear cover.

6. To play back your message, simply activate the plate switch. It is not necessary to continue holding the plate switch when listening to the message. The unit will continue to playback the entire message, even if pressure on the plate is released.

7. The unit will retain recorded information indefinitely, even if the batteries are disconnected. Previously stored information will be erased only when a new recording is performed.

8. Light Up Put-em-arounds are pre-drilled for wall mounting. Mounting hardware has been included.

Important Note:

The memory of this unit is capable of holding up to a total of 20 seconds of speech information. If you go over this time, the message will record over itself.

Troubleshooting:

Problem: The unit fails to operate, or operates incorrectly.

Action #1: Disconnect the power by removing one of the batteries for 20 seconds in order to reset the unit. Re-install the batteries. If the unit does not work correctly, replace all the batteries paying careful attention to proper polarity.

Action #2: Make sure that you have the unit turned on and the volume turned up to an audible volume.

Action #3: Make sure that you are holding both the record button AND the plate switch SIMULTANEOUSLY while you are recording.

Action #4: Make sure that there is nothing covering the Microphone.

Problem: The unit is playing old messages fine, but will not record new messages.

Action #1: Check your batteries – There is a 99% chance that either one is installed incorrectly and/or one is weak/dead.

Care of the Unit:

The Light Up Put-em-around can be wiped clean with any household multipurpose, non-abrasive cleaner and disinfectant. We recommend Simple Green, which is a non toxic biodegradable all-purpose cleaner.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will scratch the surface of the unit.

Do not submerge the unit, as it will damage the electrical components.
