TIP 2. Setting a STOP PLAY DATE that is in a
DIFFERENT
YEAR
to a START PLAY DATE.
When setting a STOP DATE for a Current message and a START DATE for
a Replacement message, that are in DIFFERENT YEARS, you MUST
specify the START YEAR and the STOP YEAR.
For instance, if you set a Christmas Message to START PLAY on 15 Dec
of Every Year and to STOP PLAY on 10 January of Every Year, the
microprocessor will interpret that the START DATE of 15 Dec (current year)
is AFTER the STOP DATE of 10 Jan (current year) and so it will not start.
In this situation you need to specify the START and STOP YEARS.
Ie: set the Christmas Message to START PLAY on 15 Dec of 2015 and to
STOP PLAY on 10 January of 2016.
TIP2 - When setting a STOP DATE that is in a different year to a START
DATE
always Enter the Start Year and the Stop Year.
TIP 3. Setting a Message where the STOP TIME is on a
DIFFERENT DAY
to a START TIME.
To set a MESSAGE to play from 6PM to 8AM, you will need to load the same
file onto the SD card twice. You must also use a different number for each file.
You cannot set a Message to START PLAY at 18:00 and to STOP PLAY at
08:00, because the microprocessor will always see the STOP TIME as
BEFORE the START TIME and it will not play.
You should set the 1st copy of the message to START PLAY at 18:00 to 24:00
You should set the 2nd copy of the message to START PLAY at 00:00 to 08:00
TIP 3 - When setting a Message to Start before Midnight and then Stop
after Midnight, you will need to load and program the Message Twice.
The second Message will need to have a different Message Number.
