BIG Step-by-Step

Overview

The BIG Step-by-Step communicator from Ablenet allows users to record and play back a series of messages in order. It has the same large activation area as the BIGmack, but with added functionality for sequencing communication and activities.

Battery Advice:

Ablenet recommend using disposable (non-rechargeable) alkaline batteries in their communication aids.

A new PP3 battery provides approximately 9 volts, which decreases over time. When the output drops to 6.8v the device will start to misbehave.

The symptoms of a failing battery include:

• Record light flashing yellow when the top switch is pressed (with no sound output)
• Messages cutting out part way through playback

The device will continue to behave in this way until the voltage drops below 6v (at which point it will shut down completely).
