Inputs/Outputs
The Audio Generator device consists of three basic areas where inputs or outputs are located.
The front of the Audio Generator (Figure 1)
The USB flash drive input is located on the front of the device. This is where the supplied USB drive is inserted into the Audio
Generator.
Eight different MP3 files can be saved on the USB drive and individually selected (or rotated through) by triggering one of
the eight marked inputs on the back of the Audio Generator. (Figure 2) The MP3 files must be saved on the USB drive in the
following format:
1.mp3
2.mp3
3.mp3
4.mp3
5.mp3
6.mp3
7.mp3
8.mp3
n Note: Alternate file naming, such as 08.mp3, will not work with this device.
A Speaker and Status light are also located on the front of the Audio Generator.
The red Speaker button allows the user to hear (at a low volume) the audio being generated by the Audio Generator without
having to connect the PA or amplifier system. If no sound can be heard from the speaker when a MP3 is triggered, verify that
the Speaker button is pressed and that the Message or BGM adjustments on the bottom of the device is turned up high
enough to hear the MP3 through the speaker.
If the Status light is not solid blue, and is flashing or blinking blue, this indicates there is an issue with the USB drive. Usually
in this case, the USB drive is not inserted or is empty.
n
Note: The Status light may take up to 10 to 20 seconds to turn solid blue once power is applied to the Audio Generator.
