Please Note:
Operators need to understand that the quality of the recordings, the contents of the
information provided and the locations of installation of the base units are critical to the
successful use of the STEP-HEAR™ system.
1. Record messages in a quiet environment with no background noise or sound.
2. Carefully decide on number of strategic installation points of the base units at chosen
areas.
3. The provided recording messages need to be relevant and suitable to the area
regardless of which direction one may approach, especially if directionality is
provided. Make sure that when offering direction message, there is no alternative
for it to avoid direction confusion if one travels in opposite side. Do not use: “left”,
“right” but announce the name of the location: “elevator”, restrooms” etc.
Please Note: Base units should be installed at least 10 meters apart from each other.
