“The CardMaster™ helps me promote independence by being able to run independent schedules. The children run the audio card and it directs them from one activity to the next without me or my aids having to provide verbal prompts which are so hard to fade. This is an essential tool when working with children who have autism spectrum disorders.” Maria Bowden K-1 Special Education Teacher (Applied Behavior Analysis) Fernbrook Elementary School Rockaway, NJ
A: If you’re listening to cards recorded in class (compared to using preprogrammed cards), make sure the person who’s doing the recording is close enough to the built-in microphone to be clearly picked up. Read more about using Blank Cards with the CardMaster™. If the volume level on your CardMaster is at its maximum setting and there is no audio output, please contact our Tech Support Dept for assistance.
A: A small amount of static is to be expected when the CardMaster™ card readers are in use. If you find the loud static sound to occur only when adjusting the volume level there may be a problem with the volume knob. However, if the entire unit has a high static level, the unit may be defective and you will need to contact our Customer Service Dept. for a replacement unit if it is still under warranty.
An alternative to using the CardMaster is to utilize the AV Tutor™ digital card reader to enhance language learning and speech therapy with its variety of digital cartridge programs.
A: Check the speed switch located in the battery compartment of the CardMaster™ card reader and make sure that normal speed is selected. Record on a blank card and read it again, the card should now be heard at normal speed.
A: Simply lock the Teacher Track Interlock located inside the battery compartment of a CardMaster™ so students won’t record over or erase the teacher’s recordings.
A: Yes. The half speed feature on our CardMaster™ gives you about 50% more recording time than the standard speed hence allows you to record a longer response. Note: The responses recorded at half speed must be playback at half speed setting.
A: With both the 2010AV and 2020AV CardMaster™ card readers, you need to first make sure you unlock the switch for the Teacher Track located inside the battery compartment. Once unlocked, simply hold down the ‘RECORD’ button while simultaneously sliding a blank card through and speaking into the built-in microphone.
A: For both the 2010AV and the 2020AV card readers, you will first need to unlock the hidden teacher record interlock located inside the battery compartment. Then, switch the student/teacher track record key to the down position. Once unlocked, proceed with sliding the card reader program cards through as desired.
A: If you have had your card reader program cards for many years, the magnetic strip could be worn or defective. We recommend that you try using some brand new cards to see if they might work with your 2010AV. If the problem persists, please contact our Tech Support Dept.
