The Importance of Guided Access
Insurance funds your QuickTalker Freestyle as a dedicated communication device. Guided Access keeps it working that way.
Guided Access locks your device to the speech application, preventing accidental exits to other apps on the device. Without it, users can navigate away from their communication system—losing access to their primary way to express needs, ask questions, and connect with others.
The fix is simple: Turn on Guided Access and keep communication accessible at all times.
Want to use other apps? Set up a separate device (smartphone, tablet, or computer) dedicated for entertainment. That way, users can communicate while enjoying entertainment or other content without interruption.
Best Practices
Turn off Guided Access every night. Before bed, exit Guided Access, plug the device into power, and connect to Wi-Fi. This prevents the device from freezing and ensures software updates install overnight.
Pick a passcode you’ll remember. You’ll need your 6-digit passcode to exit Guided Access, so choose something easy to recall, but isn’t 1-1-1-1-1-1.
