1. Recording REC means that pressing and holding the REC button causes the LED to light up. At this point, speaking into the MIC records the content into the ISD1700 voice chip. After recording a segment, the LED turns off automatically. Pressing the button again starts recording the next segment, with subsequent segments recorded in sequence. 2. Press the playback PLAY button to play back recordings. Two trigger modes are available: edge trigger and level trigger. (1) Edge trigger: Click the PLAY button once to play the current segment. The LED flashes during playback and stops when playback ends. After playback completes, the playback pointer remains at the start address of the played segment. Press PLAY again to replay the same segment. (2) Level trigger: Press and hold the PLAY button to continuously play all recorded messages in a loop until the button is released. 3. Fast forward FWD operation: Before playback, press the FWD button to move the playback pointer to the next segment. Each press advances the pointer by one segment. During playback, pressing FWD stops the current segment and starts playing the next one. If the last segment is playing, pressing FWD will stop it and restart from the first segment. 4. ERASE button operation: Single-segment erase is only valid for the first and last recorded segments. When the playback pointer is on the first or last segment, pressing the ERASE button removes that segment. The playback pointer then moves to the second or second-to-last segment. Press and hold the ERASE button for more than 3 seconds to enter "all erase mode." The LED flashes twice. Continue holding, and the LED flashes 7 times then turns off. Release the button to completely erase all voice data from the chip. 5. RESET button operation: Pressing RESET initializes the system. After reset, both playback and recording pointers default to the last recorded segment. The playback pointer points to the beginning of the last segment, and the recording pointer points to the end. Playback starts from the last segment, and new recordings begin immediately after the last one. 6. Volume control VOL: Press the VOL button to adjust output volume. Each press decreases volume by 4dB until minimum level. Further presses increase volume by 4dB per click. After reset, the default output volume is set to maximum. 7. FT pass-through mode: Connect the FT pin to GND to enable pass-through mode. In this mode, audio input from the Analn terminal is routed directly to the speaker or AUD output. During recording, if FT is grounded, the incoming audio signal is simultaneously recorded. 1 x Recording and Playback Module Item Type: Recording module Size: Approx. 5.5CM x 5CM / 2.2 in x 2.0 in Power Supply: 5V Recording Time: 75 seconds at 6K, 60 seconds at 8K Chip Operating Frequency: Selectable between 6KHz and 8KHz Indicator Light: Includes power indicator and chip status indicator
