2. BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT

2.1. General Description

Employing the memory cards as recording media, the unit is a programmable, maintenance-free digitalannouncer that permits both recording and playback.

2.2. Features

LCD-displayed operation guides and handy selection dial facilitate recording and playback.

Holds up to two memory cards.

The combination of two sampling frequencies (32 kHz and 44.1 kHz) and four recording grades ("Long","Normal", "High" and "Extremely High") permits selection of up to eight levels of recording sound quality tobest suit given situation.

Recorded sentences can be combined into complete messages and played back as a program.

Up to 256 programs can be played back.

Up to 256 or 1,024 sentences (changeable) can be recorded (when two memory cards are installed).

Two different messages can be simultaneously output to two different locations.

In emergency situations, emergency messages can be set to override current programs. (Emergencymessages must be pre-recorded.)

Recording, playback, erasure, and stop can be remotely controlled by external equipment.

Detachable front cover protects the memory cards from tampering.

Key lock function prevents accidental key setting changes and tampering of the keys.

Optional emergency power supply panel permits operation even during power failures.

Built-in timer allows the same message to be repeated at preset time intervals.

2.3. Handling Precautions

Do not use the unit near heaters or in locations exposed to sunlight. The unit's plastic parts may bedeformed or its finish discolored.

Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations, as doing otherwise may cause the unit's failure.

When the unit gets dirty with dust or oil, wipe down with a soft, dry cloth. Never use a chemically-processedcleaning towel or volatile liquids, such as benzine and thinner, because the unit's plastic parts may bedeformed or its finish discolored.

2.4. About the Memory Card

The memory card to be used in conjunction with the unit is optional. Purchase the card separately from theunit.

2.4.1. Usable memory cardsTwo different types of memory card can be used with the unit: ATA flash memory card and SRAM memorycard. Note that purely flash memory cards cannot be used.

Notes Contact your TOA dealer as for large-capacity cards of other makers. All the cards available for the EV-300R and EV-300P (our conventional models) can be used for this unit. Up to two memory cards can be installed in the unit.

2.4.3. Before using the SRAM memory card[Backup battery installation]

1. Shift the LOCK switch to the left to pull the battery holder out of the card.

2. Place the supplied backup battery in the holder with the [+] side up, then reinsert the holder into the card.

3. Shift the LOCK switch back to the right to lock theholder.

4. Release the write protect switch toenable writing.

Caution If the write protect switch is set to the

WP position, the card cannot beused for recording. Use the WP position to avoid the

accidental erasure of important recording.

Note that neither the battery nor the battery holder issupplied with the EV-F series cards.

[Backup battery replacement (EV-F series excepted)]

If the battery voltage drops below a marginal level, either of the following indications is displayed on thescreen.

C BA AR TD .A L OW C A R D A B A T . O U T

Access indicator lamp

Press the [EJECT] button.

[Card insertion] [Card ejection]

1. Push down the front covertab to remove the cover.

2. Insert or eject the card as shown in the figures.

Important.It is suggested that the battery be replaced immediately when the indication of [CARD A BAT. OUT] isdisplayed.

Each SRAM memory card (EV-M256, EV-M512, EV-M1024, and EV-M2048) has a built-in auxiliary batterythat protects the recorded contents from erasure during the backup battery replacement.

The auxiliary battery is a rechargeable battery. Charging the battery by inserting it into this unit for 30minutes or more protects the recorded contents for about ten minutes during the backup batteryreplacement.

When replacing the backup battery, be sure to insert the auxiliary battery into this unit (energized state) for

30 minutes or more to keep the auxiliary battery fully charged before replacing.Each battery's life is as follows.EV-M256 : Approximately 5 yearsEV-M512 : Approximately 4 yearsEV-M1024: Approximately 2 yearsEV-M2048: Approximately 1 year

Use the commercial lithium battery BR2325 or CR2325 when replacing the backup battery.

2.4.4. Inserting and ejecting the memory cardRemove the front cover when inserting or ejecting the memory card.

2.4.5. Handling precautions for the memory card Do not use alcohol to clean the surface. Do not expose the card to sunlight. Replace the battery as soon as it shows a sign of exhaustion. (EV-F series is excepted.) Do not get the card wet. Use a dedicated soft case to keep the card. (This not only prevents the attachment of foreign substance to

the terminal, but also protects the memory card from static electricity.)

Caution: Do not move the card while the access indicator lamp remains lit or is flashing. Data in the card maybe lost.

6. RECORDING

6.1. Before Recording

6.1.1. Notes on recordingThere are some types of memory cards which cannot be used with the unit (refer to p. 7). If such an unusablecard is installed, the screen will tell you to the effect that the card cannot be used. The same indication is alsodisplayed if the card installed is broken even though it is of correct type. In such cases, replace the memorycard. Note that the memory card must be formatted whenever recording on the new card.

6.1.2. ConnectionsConnect the microphones for recording or external musical equipment to be used as a recording soundsource.

Note: Simultaneously recording multiple source equipment connected to the unit mixes all inputs from suchequipment.

6.2. Recording Sound Quality

Eight different types of recording sound quality are made available to the unit, so that you can select thesound quality best suited to given situation depending on the type of recording sound source, recording time,and type of memory card to use.

If the recording grade is selected, the unit begins to record audio signals compressed using the following bitrates:

Even though the recording grade is the same, the sound quality of the 32 kHz sampling frequency is higher,although its reproducing frequency range is narrower than that of 44.1 kHz sampling frequency.

Sampling frequency vs. reproducing frequency rangeSampling frequency 32 kHz : Reproducing frequency range 20 Hz - 14 kHz

Sampling frequency 44.1 kHz: Reproducing frequency range 20 Hz - 20 kHz

Recording grade and recording time

Sampling frequency vs. reproducing frequency range

Recording grade and sampling frequency can be set individually for each sentence (recording unit) in onememory card. Because the recording sound quality best suited to each sentence can be selectedindividually, the card can be efficiently used for recording.

It is possible to combine sentences recorded using different recording grades and sampling frequencies,and play back such sentences as a program (playback unit).

Applications of the recording sound qualityThe following table provides the guidelines on the selection of the sound quality.

For the sampling frequency, usually use 32 kHz. In this event, the frequency response is 20 Hz-14 kHz.When requiring the frequency response of 20 Hz-20 kHz, use the sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.

6.4. Recording the Emergency Sentence

[Card slot for the emergency sentence recording]The emergency sentence is recorded on the slot A memory card when two cards are inserted into both

slots A and B. Also, the emergency sentence is recorded on the slot A memory card when the card is onlyinserted into slot A, and on the slot B memory card when only inserted into slot B.

[Remarks] It is impossible to copy the emergency sentence. It is impossible to change the emergency sentence title.

(Refer to p. 24 Emergency sentence recording.)

Note: The method is factory-preset for manual start recording.

6.3.2. Setting of automatic start recordingThis function is enabled by setting the recording method for this mode. (Refer to p. 22)The level at which recording starts automatically can be set.

[Levels to automatically start recording]The "Automatic start recording" method permits the unit to automatically start recording with the recordinginput signal level set for "Small," "Medium," or "Large."

7.3. Emergency Playback (External Activation)

By directly designating and activating a recorded emergency sentence, emergency playback can be achievedwith no need to set programs. Even when the unit is in use for broadcast from the microphone or externalequipment or it is playing back a program, the current broadcast is interrupted and the program playbackstops, allowing the emergency broadcast to go through.

The emergency sentence is played back from both Outputs 1 and 2.During emergency playback, both busy outputs 1 and 2 are shorted.

The emergency sentence is broadcast at the maximum sound volume. To adjust the emergency broadcastvolume, use the output volume control located on the rear panel.

Insert the card containing the emergency sentence into card slot A. The emergency sentence recorded onthe slot B memory card can be played back only when the card is not inserted into slot A. Emergencyplayback cannot be accomplished when the card containing no emergency sentence is inserted into slot A.For recording the emergency sentence, refer to p. 21.

7.4. Playing Back the Emergency Sentence

The emergency sentence cannot be played back manually. Arrange the switch for emergency playbackactivation separately, and connect that switch to the emergency playback activation control input located onthe rear panel. Shorting that switch activates the emergency playback.To stop playback of the emergency sentence, press the front-mounted [STOP] key. (This function can not beachioed by remote control.)

8.1.2. Playback MethodThere are 4 different playback methods. Select one of them when making the setting.

[Continuous program playback]

Sentences and silent intervals registered into the program are consecutively played back in order of stepnumber, and playback stops after the program is completed. This method (factory-preset) is used for programplayback unless other method is especially selected.

To stop playback manually, press the [STOP] key or short the Stop terminal.

[Single-program playback]

One each of sentences silent intervals registered into the program is played back in order of step numbereach time the unit is activated. Playback automatically stops after a single sentence is completed. After thelast sentence is completed, playback returns to the first step of the program with the next activation. Activating

the unit in the Stop mode (initiated by either pressing the [STOP] key or shorting the Stop control terminals)begins playback from the next step number. In addition to manual playback and terminal-activated playback, itis also possible to automatically playback sentences with time intervals (program intervals) set between themusing the units built-in timer (Interval Broadcast). Intervals of OFF, 10-50 seconds (in 10-second units), or 1-99minutes (in 1-minute units) can be set.

To stop playback manually, press the [STOP] key or short the Stop terminal.

Playback begins with thefirst sentence (A002)when activated next time.
