Here’s how the system works:
The recorder is a palm size device that uses digital chip technology so there are no tapes to break, no equipment to hook up, and no discs to pop in - only two buttons to push, one for record and one for play. It’s that simple.
Recording a Message
1) Align the label within the recess in the back of the recorder. With the label fully engaged, the word "Sound Stripes" on the label will just be visible above the front edge of the recorder.
2) Press the red Record button momentarily until you hear a chime-like sound.
3) Within a few seconds of reading the label, start recording a message by pressing and holding the Record button. The red LED light will be on as the message is recording. It flashes at 15 seconds and goes out at the 20-second mark.
Reviewing a Message
1) You can hear a new message immediately by pressing the green Play button. If it is not what you want, simply record the message again.
Archiving a Message
1) When the message is ready to archive, peel off the archive tab at the bottom of the label. The label will now be “play only.”
Using your Label on a Page
1) Peel off the backing and adhere your label to any page. In the case of a scrapbook page, make sure it is placed on top of the page protector and not the page itself, so the recorder can read it properly.
Note: The Sound Stripes™ labels, which are the only part of the system that stays in your scrapbook or yearbook, will not affect either pictures or paper. They have been verified as fully compatible with all photo archival applications.*
