3. Setup
3.1 Unpacking and Initial Inspection
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts are present and undamaged. The package should include the E12 device, a power cable, and a USB data cable (optional, but recommended for voice replacement).

3.3 Powering On/Off
Locate the slide switch on the side of the device (under the white cover) to power the unit on or off.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Motion Detection
The E12 utilizes an intelligent infrared sensor to detect motion. The inductive distance is approximately 0-4 meters, with an induction angle of 120 degrees. When motion is detected within this range, the device will activate and play the programmed audio.

4.2 Volume Control
The device features a 6-level volume control. Use the dedicated volume buttons on the bottom of the unit to adjust the output level. The current volume level will be displayed on the small LED screen.
4.3 Track Selection and Playback Modes
The E12 supports digital track selection and two playback modes: single track (A) and full track (B). Use the track selection buttons to navigate through loaded audio files. The selected mode and track number will be shown on the LED display.
- Single Track Mode (A): Plays one selected audio file each time motion is detected.
- Full Track Mode (B): Plays all loaded audio files in succession each time motion is detected.
4.4 Voice Replacement via USB
The E12 allows you to replace the default audio prompts with your own custom MP3 files. This process requires connecting the device to a computer using a compatible USB data cable.
- Connect to Computer: Use a USB-A to USB-C data cable (not just a charging cable) to connect the E12 to your computer. The device should appear as a removable drive, often labeled "NONAME".
- Manage Audio Files: The device has approximately 4MB of storage. You can delete existing demo sounds by moving them to the trash and emptying the trash on your computer.
- Upload Custom Audio: Drag and drop your desired MP3 audio files onto the device's drive. For multiple files, consider naming them with a numerical prefix (e.g., 001_sound.mp3, 002_alert.mp3) to control playback order.
- Eject Safely: After transferring files, safely eject the device from your computer before disconnecting the USB cable.
