4. Output Mode and Volume Level The unit provides three output modes Speech Tone and Vibration Three volume levels are available in the Speech output mode The modes and volume levels are selected by using both push buttons together The loudness of the tones in tone mode is fixed and cannot be increased or decreased It will decrease at low battery levels automatically to extend the life of the battery Pressing and holding any one button and then pressing and releasing the other button changes the volume or mode Each time the second button is pressed and released the Output Mode setting cycles between Speech Mode volume levels 1 2 3 Vibration Mode and Tone Mode and then back to Speech Mode volume level 1 A tone of appropriate volume is emitted at each volume setting to indicate the level chosen For the Tone Mode a double tone of different pitch is emitted For the vibration setting a short vibration pulse is emitted The Output Mode and volume level can be changed at any time while the device is turned on even while the unit is in the identification process The unit continues the identification process upon completion of the mode or volume change lt either one of the buttons continues to remain pressed after the mode or volume change the unit will wait until it is released before continuing operation and announcing the denomination 3 4 Low Battery Indication The unit continually monitors the battery level during use A war

6. nce but if the volume level is adjusted to lower levels the warnings may stop This is because higher volume levels and Vibration Mode consume more power When the battery weakens the unit will automatically reduce the volume level in Speech Mode to allow continued use and to extend the life of the battery Therefore even if you attempt to set a higher volume level the unit will limit the volume to the maximum level possible with the weak battery To restore full volume the battery must be replaced 4 Care of the device The unit should be protected from dust and liquids When not in use keep the unit in a protective water and dust proof case Periodically wipe the unit with a slightly damp soft lint free cloth to remove accumulated dust especially from the area near the bill insertion Slot 5 Troubleshooting lf you encounter difficulty in using the device it might be due to one of the following reasons 5 1 The unit does not turn on lf you are not able to turn on the unit by pressing one of the buttons the battery should be replaced You should also check and confirm that the battery is inserted correctly 5 2 After turning on the unit turns off without announcing the result If the unit turns off abruptly without announcing the result the battery is weak and should be replaced If the unit gives progress beeps but doesn t announce the result within 3 seconds after turning on this also indicates that the unit turne
