User's Manual

• Vary the tone of your voice for different prompts. Using a different tone
of voice or even a different voice for consecutive prompts or error messages
will make it easier for the user to distinguish between them.
• Be sure to record error messages for all possible problems that the user
may encounter during a session. Once the operator becomes accustomed to
listening to the voice prompts, it may become easy to overlook a “display
only” error message.
RF Terminal’s Voice Message Mapping
The RF Terminal is shipped with 75 seconds of total recording time. The time
allotted for each message is partitioned as follows:
30 – ½ second messages (message numbers 01-30)
30 - 1 second messages (message numbers 31-60)
15 - 2 second messages (message numbers 61-75)
Messages are sequentially numbered beginning with the ½-second messages,
followed by the 1-second messages, and finally the 2-second messages. You can
change the partitions to allow for more or less of a particular length message.
For example, if you decide you do not want any ½ second messages and you
want 15 more 1-second messages, your allocation would look like this:
00 – ½ second messages
45 - 1 second messages (message numbers 01-45)
15 - 2 second messages (message numbers 46-60)
Voice message partitions are set in the RF Terminal either from the bar coded
Setup Menu or by the keypad setup. From the Setup Menu, scan the bar code for
“Voice Messages”, and then scan six digits. The first 2 digits correspond to the ½
second messages, the second 2 digits for the 1-second messages and the last 2
digits for the 2-second messages. See Chapter 2; RF System Setup for details on
Terminal setup (by bar code setup menu and keypad). Remember that the total
amount of time must add up to 75 seconds.
