Programming your U-Turn

Content for your U-Turn Round is stored on a 
USB stick (supplied pre-programmed). We 
suggest you use this as a template for 
uploading your own content.

Should you need to use a different USB stick 

we suggest you format the new stick first to 

‘FAT’ or ‘FAT 32’.

To program your content you will need;

1. 

 2 x standard messages (A1 & A2 - “Please     

     turn me” and “I’m paused”.)

2.

  8 x audio messages (1-8)

3. 

 USB stick (included)

4. 

 USB Programming Dongle (included)

1.

 Windows OS

Windows OS is required to program your 
U-Turn Round using a PC or Laptop (XP - 10). 
MacOS is not supported due to hidden files 
generated by the OS.

2.

 A1 & A2

These files are included on the USB stick and 
are responsible for the messages;

A1

 - “Please turn me till the message plays”

A2 

- “I’m paused, please turn me some more”

Changing these files allows you to customise 
the messages should you need to alter their 
phrasing or language. They must always be the 
first two files added to the USB stick. A1 being 
dragged in first, then A2. 

Your A1 file 

must

 play to a maximum of 3 

seconds, whilst your A2 file 

must

 be 2 

seconds.

Note: Your files must be dragged onto the file in 

the order followed:

Your A1 file

Your A2 file

Your 1-8 audio tracks

Note: Your audio tracks must be dragged 

seperately one at a time.

3.

 8 Audio Messages

You will need 8 audio files to upload to the 
U-Turn Round. Even if your U-Turn only utilises 
a portion of the audio slots, you will still need 8 
files for upload. These tracks must be 16MB or 
less due to the UTR’s internal storage space.

This means there will be 10 files in total 
(including A1 & A2), if you attempt to program 
your U-Turn Round without the correct number 
of files it will tell you and the upload will fail).

Note: If you do not have the USB stick 
provided, use a USB stick less than 1GB in size 
if possible, if you have issues uploading your 
files please first retry with a different USB stick.

4.

 The Connection Slots

You should now have 10 files on your USB 
stick, including A1 & A2 as seen below:

To program content onto the U-Turn Round 

you must connect your USB stick to the USB 

Programming Dongle and insert into the 

connection slots located in the speaker grill.
