Overview; Features - ACS Compact flash User Manual

Overview:

Thank you for purchasing the Compact FLASH Digital Audio System; be assured that it will provide
you with thousands of hours of trouble free, solid-state operation. You will also find that it is simple to
change audio themes or tracks and is easy to make your own recordings or "program" the device.
End users can change the audio themes or tracks simply by inserting another, different Compact
FLASH Card, as easily as the changing of a cassette tape. Multiple cards can be programmed with different
audio themes or tracks allowing daily, hourly, weekly or monthly changes. It truly is as simple as removing
the old card and plugging in the new one. Depending on the manufacturer, Compact FLASH Cards may be
re-used up to 10,000 times.
Sound files are easily copied onto the card via your PC or laptop, using a Compact FLASH to
PCMCIA, Compact FLASH to USB or parallel port adapter. Once the files are copied to the Compact
FLASH Card, they are renamed. This process instructs the Compact FLASH Digital Audio System how
and when to play the copied files.
