  • Steady – the device is in record mode
  • Continuous flashing – a message is being recorded
  • Single flash – a message is being played
  • Flashing, followed by audible warbled beep – the device’s memory has been cleared
• Yellow LED
  • Steady for 1 second – the device has no recorded message
  • Flashing (while in Record mode) – the device’s memory/ storage is full

Battery🔗

We recommend always using regular, alkaline batteries to avoid any issues with recording or playing messages. Batteries labeled “Heavy Duty,” “Industrial Grade,” or “ProCell” handle power differently than regular alkaline batteries, and when used in our devices they behave similar to low or dead batteries.

Make sure your battery is new and recently purchased. Batteries that have been used for other devices or those that have been sitting a while may not have the power to operate the switch correctly.

The video below demonstrates how to install a 9V battery into the device.
