recording user programmable messages
The 516L provides nine 5-second message slots to record user programmable messages for the three auxiliary trigger
inputs. These messages can be recorded and programmed using a learn routine. Depending on the language selected
by the position of Dipswitch 1, programming instructions will be announced in either English or Japanese to guide
the programmer through the steps of the recording learn routine.
To record a voice message using the learn routine:
1. Open one of the vehicle doors. (The GREEN door trigger input must be grounded.)
2. Turn on the ignition. (The YELLOW ignition input must be powered.)
3. Press and release the program/record button the number of times corresponding to whichever of the nine
5-second message slots you wish to record.
4. Press and HOLD the program/record button. The unit will announce the number of the selected message slot
and you will then hear the word “recording”. The LED will turn on to indicate that the microphone is active and
that a 5-second message may now be recorded.
5. When you are finished recording a message, release the program/record button and the LED will go out. You
may also want to write down your custom recorded messages in the spaces provided in the table above.
