How
to add new sounds to your TommyKnocker doorbell memory
stick:
Place
TommyKnocker memory stick into a computer that has
USB support for FAT32 type disks. This could be just
about any PC running Microsoft windows or a MAC with the ability to read FAT32 file system disks.
Simply
copy to the stick any MP3 file that you would like to
have access to from the bell. Be sure that the new file
name
is
no more than 8 characters long and that it has an
extension of .MP3 . You may need to rename the file on
the stick
once
you have copied it. Acceptable names are NewSound.mp3
, MYSOUND.mp3, horns.mp3 . Names that won't
work
are My_Sound_320.mp3 or any name that is longer than 8
characters. That's
it!. You should now be able to
access the new sound
files using the front panel switches on the doorbell.
Please see
the manual on sound selection for
further details.
If
you would like to choose the sound that the TommyKnocker
doorbell plays for the front or back doors without the
need
to program it
using the selection buttons on the doorbell front
panel, you can do so by naming the sound file
accordingly.
Simply
name the sound you would like for the front door to
FRONT.mp3, and BACK.mp3 for the back door. If your
bell
is
a 4 door model, the default names for the side doors are
SIDEL.mp3 and SIDER.mp3
NOTE:
Before you do this, if you would like to keep the
current factory sound, be sure to rename the current
FRONT.mp3 sound
to OLDFRONT.MP3 , and BACK.mp3 to OLDBACK.MP3 . That
way the sound will be there for
selection using the doorbell
front panel should you want to use it again.
NON
FACTORY SUPPLIED MEMORY STICKS
IF
YOU LOST your original factory memory stick and would
like to make a new one, simply buy a small memory stick
,
format
it using FAT32, and then follow the instructions above
to place sounds on it.
NOTE:
It is recommended that no sub directories or other files
be placed on the doorbell stick. Some reports of
incompatible
memory sticks have been made. If you come across a
stick that is not usable in the doorbell, please let us
know.
We will be keeping a list of incompatible sticks on our
web site. To be certain to get a stick that works,
remember that
you can purchase pre-formatted sticks with the factory
default sounds from our web site. Only factory
formatted sticks
will work with the automated stick manager program on
the web site.
