Pressing any of the 8 buttons on the front of the Paletto will activate 1 of 8 sounds from the selected group. The red LED indicates that a play button has been pressed.

Page 4 Pressing the volume buttons will increase or decrease the volume of the Paletto while giving spoken information. This product is not controllable by a remote control. Recording Sound Groups 9 to 16 are used for storing your own recordings which can be from the included microphone via the “Mic” Socket or another audio device such as a CD player or Mp3 player via the “Line In” socket. A suitable cable for connecting the devices to the “line in” can be purchased from most hi‐fi equipment shops. An error message is played if you attempt to record within one of the sound groups with permanent sounds. The record function is selected by pressing the “Rec” button on the control panel. Pressing the button once, will select recording from a connected microphone and a spoken message will be heard. Pressing the button again will select recording from the ‘Line In’. The following audio equipment may be used for ‘Line In’ recording: MP3 players, cassette players, CD players, computers. The difference between recording via a microphone and recording via the ‘Line On’ port is that ‘Line In’ plays the sound during recording. This does not happen when recording via a microphone. Pressing the button once more will return the Paletto to its normal mode. 1. Select “sound group 9” via the mode buttons ready for recording. 2. Connect the device you wish to record from to the Paletto via the appropriate socket. 3. Select the source you are recording from via the “Rec” button and a voice will state the selected mode. 4. All the LED’s should now be flashing and the Paletto is now ready to record your sound. 5. Press 1 of the 8 buttons you want to record the sound to and this will activate the record function. 6. Recordings in progress are indicated by the LED being continuously illuminated. 7. The new recordings will replace the old recordings on the button (Sound Groups 1‐8 can not be recorded on and will generate an error message). 8. Recordings can be stopped by pressing the same “play” button as first selected and then the MMC will be updated with the recorded information (this can take a few seconds). When Finished the Paletto will play back the last sound recorded. 9. The Paletto should then return back to the normal mode after the recording as been stopped. 10. Repeat this procedure for each recording. ...

Page 6 • It is recommended that you test the product works before attaching it to the wall. • Mount the Wall Paletto onto the wall bearing in mind the following: ‐ There are 4 pre‐drilled holes on the Paletto to facilitate wall mounting ‐ Fixtures are not included – purchase fixings that are appropriate to the construction of your wall and that can comfortably hold the weight of this product: 16kg ‐ proximity to a plug socket • Make sure that you can access all cables – hang them over the top towards the front Setting Up • Once the white back board is securely attached to the wall, connect the male plug of the power supply to the DC female connector attached to the electronics box at the back of the white board. The female connector is a socket and is wider than the male socket. • Locate the four proud screws on the white board – the keyboard is mounted onto these. Align the keyholes in the back of the keyboard with the proud screws of the white back board. Push gently on and then down. Please note: this is intentionally not a permanent fixing – the keyboard is intended to be easily removed for table top use. If the keyboard is to be used without the white back board, connect the male plug from the power supply directly into the 6vDC socket of the keyboard. • The male plug from the back of the white board connects to the keyboard (socket labelled 6vDC). • Please ignore the IR functions – these are not compatible with ROMPA® products.. • Take the MMC Memory card out of the box and insert with the label upward into the memory card slot on the control panel labelled “MMC”. N.B Always insert or remove the memory card with the power OFF!! • Take the power adapter and insert the small plug into the 6vDC socket on the main panel. • Plug the other end of the power adapter into a suitable 220V wall socket.
