Message channels are factory recorded (See Table 1) but may be custom recorded using the on-board microphone or computer downloaded WAV files. Refer to the Magic Module instruction manuals and software for procedures on playing messages.

The message start and ending locations will be reflected in the Start and Stop Boundary window. Instructions will be sent to the MV480 board and a message box will inform you to press the Record switch while speaking into the MV480's microphone. If you speak longer than the length set by the start and stop boundary a portion of your message will be lost.
