NOTE: Switches 1, 2, and 3 sets the number of messages in a single queue sequence. The timing between those messages is set by switches 4, 5, and 6. Switch 7 sets the total possible number of messages for the unit. Switch 8 is always in the ON position.
Power Up System The MDMU is now ready to record and play meassages. NOTE: The internal battery maintains the recorded messages two hours in the event of a power failure or brownout. Allow 48 hours to fully charge. If power is to be removed from the MDMU for an extended period of time, turn the battery switch to the Off position to...
The MDMU can record messages input from the front panel through the Hand Set, Tape, and Mic connectors. The unit also record and store messages input remotely through telephone access to the REM port using a DTMF (touch tone) telephone.

NOTE: Depending on number of messages optioned during installation (switch 7), the (available message numbers will read 1 through 9, or 01 through 99. NOTE: If the message number selected has been pre-recorded, a messaged will display "SURE?" Press "RUN" again to append to the existing message.
Listening to Recorded Messages NOTE: Use the front panel handset to listen to messages. As the message plays into the handset, the display counts down the message time. Press the FUNC button until the display indicates monitor. Press the RUN button to select the message number. Press the FUNC key until the desired message number appears.
Playing Messages Once messages have been recorded, they may be played over the paging system as described below. Messages can also be queued by a contact closure of one of the switch cable pair of the RJ-21 cable (See figure 5). NOTE: If a contact closure comes in on the RJ-21 cable, the message sequence will...
Playing Messages in Sequence A group or sequence of messages can be played to the output channel. The maximum number of messages in a sequence can be up to 8 (determined by the DIP switch settings on the back panel). To add messages to the sequence simply repeat the PLAY command, selecting the message to be added each time.
Adding a Time Delay Between Message Plays A time delay can be inserted before successive message plays. The amount of time depends on the maximum time delay set on the option DIP switch. NOTE: A delay may only be selected for a message which has previously been recorded.
Clearing a Message Sequence The message sequence can be cleared leaving the individual messages to be played separately. Press the FUNC button until PLAY is displayed Press the RUN button. Press the FUNC button until the following message is displayed. This is the message abort number.
Checking Message Times The TIME function displays the time used for each message recorded. It also displays the remaining time available in system memory to record other messages. Press the FUNC button until TIME appears. Press the RUN button (once) to view message numbers and recording time.
Reset Delay Times to Default The INIT (initialize) function resets the operating parameters and delay time to the default setting of five seconds without effecting the recorded messages. Audio and Memory Tests Two diagnostics tests are built into the MDMU internal software. The audio test plays a 1000 Hz tone to the installed J1 output line.
Memory Test CAUTION! The memory test will erase all recorded and stored messages. To cancel the memory test command, press the FUNC button. Press the FUNC button to end the continuous audio test. Press the FUNC button until TEST appears. Press the RUN button to display the test options.
Telephone Access Operation The MDMU may be accessed remotely using a DTMF (Touch Tone) telephone. Telephone access can be made directly through a telephone switching system with one of its analog stations connected to the MDMU REM port. Recording Messages Listening to Recorded Messages Dial the telephone extension of the MDMU.
Playing Messages Clearing a Message Sequence Dial the telephone extension of the MDMU. Dial the message number to play over the public address system (for example, number 14). The message is played and added to the sequence of messages playing.
