Hi, BoB. Look at the datasheet
and see the pushbutton example on page 20. Replace the hardwired address lines with switches to GND with pullups like this (view in fixed font or Notepad):
~ ~ VCC ~ | ~ .-. ~ | |10K All ~ | | ~ '-' ~ _/ | ~ .--o/ o---o---->A0 ~ | VCC ~ | | ~ | .-. ~ | | | ~ | | | ~ | '-' ~ | _/ | ~ o--o/ o---o---->A1 ~ | ~ v . ~ . . ~ . . ~ VCC ~ ^ | ~ | .-. ~ | | | ~ | | | ~ | '-' ~ | _/ | ~ o---o/ o--o---->A9 ~ | ~ =3D=3D=3D ~ GND ~ created by Andy=B4s ASCII-Circuit v1.24.140803 Beta
If you need more than 10 different phrases, you'll have to do binary with a DIPswitch or something. Not all that hard, but not very user-friendly. Actually, that is exactly the point where you go to a PIC.
There's a good appnote on this at:
Good luck Chris
