SMOOTH TALKER may also be paired with SimplyWorks RECEIVE to allow software to be controlled by
messages which are assigned to toy/appliance control.
1.
Briefly press the Pair Button on RECEIVE and the Pair LED will begin to flash slowly.
2.
Now press the Pair Button [9] briefly on SMOOTH TALKER. The Pair LED on RECEIVE
will continue to flash slowly until pairing is complete at which point the Pair LED
will light steadily for 5 seconds.
Whenever a message is played which has toy/appliance control assigned, RECEIVE sends the Enter
character to the computer via the USB lead for the duration of the message. This allows software which
uses Enter to be used alongside SMOOTH TALKER.

Electrical appliances can also be controlled wirelessly using an ENERGISE or iCLICK mains appliance
controller. Plug the ENERGISE/iCLICK power cable into an electrical socket and the electrical appliance
into socket number one. Briefly press Pair Button 1 on ENERGISE/iCLICK and the Pair LED will begin to
flash slowly. Briefly press the Pair Button [9] on SMOOTH TALKER. The Pair LED on ENERGISE/iCLICK
will continue to flash slowly until pairing is complete at which point the Pair LED will light steadily for 5
seconds. Assign a message using the above procedure.
To conserve battery life SMOOTH TALKER automatically enters a power saving mode after 20 minutes
without use. The Simply Works wireless transmitter/receiver is shut down, which saves power but
also prevents reception of switch activation information from external wireless switches. To wake up
SMOOTH TALKER from power saving, simply press any button or the main switch. If you are not going to
use SMOOTH TALKER for more than a few minutes it is best to turn it off completely using the volume
control [3]. This also prevents accidental presses of the main switch from playing messages during
transportation.
A picture card may be inserted into the open lid of SMOOTH TALKER to act as a visual prompt. The card
should be 75mm wide, and 35mm or more in height. Should the array of LEDs and buttons distract users
when the lid is open, the Card may be made around 75mm high to obscure the LEDs and buttons, as shown
here:
