Romet R310 - User Manual

It is easy to control your speech with
only one hand.
NO TOOLS REQUIRED.
Adjustable top head: Twist for
fine-tuning of the sound, if needed.
WARNING - over adjusting of the
head will result in diminished tone
quality; be careful.
On/Off Button: To speak, push the
button and release when you are
finished.
Pitch Wheel: (on the left) Turn the
wheel for easy adjustment to a higher
or lower pitch. No need to further
adjust after you have achieved your
desired pitch level.
Volume Wheel: (on the right) Turn
the wheel for easy adjustment while
you are speaking to increase or
decrease your speaking volume for
emphasis.
Practice: Place the Romet®
Electronic Larynx to your neck and
practice finding your “sweet spot” to
achieve your best vocal tone.
NOTE: This spot can be many places
on either your neck or the side of your
mouth; each person is different
depending upon your skin texture and
the amount of radiation you have
received. Look into a mirror and
repeat simple sentences to achieve
vocal clarity. If possible, record your
voice and play it back to hear how
you sound. Practice regularly!
