Introduction

This guide explains how to lock the QuickTalker FT so users cannot accidentally erase messages or change levels. Locking the device helps prevent unintended changes and ensures consistent communication.

Following the steps below, you’ll learn how to activate the device’s lock feature in less than 5 minutes.

Required Items

• No additional tools or software needed

Ensure the device is turned on before performing the steps below.

Instructions

1. Action: Locate the Record button on the back of the QuickTalker FT and the Level button on the front. Hold both at the same time until you see all of the level lights flash.
   Expected Result: You can no longer record or change levels.

2. To unlock the device, repeat the same step:

Tips and Troubleshooting
