You’re here because: Your keyguard doesn’t line up with the buttons on your screen, or it won’t attach to your device the way it should.

Before You Begin

If you need a new keyguard, have your Funding Request Number (FN) ready. You can look it up with the Find My FN Tool.

The Keyguard Is for the Wrong Device Type

  1. Turn your device over and look at the kickstand on the back to find your device type.
    • Four threaded holes and one or more QR codes: QuickTalker Freestyle – Four Threaded Holes.
    • A round MagConnect attachment: QuickTalker Freestyle – MagConnect.
  2. Open the setup guide for your device type and compare it with how your keyguard is attached:
    1. Getting Started With Integrated sideCLICK Keyguard
    2. sideCLICK With Clips Keyguard for MagConnect Devices
  3. Reattach the keyguard by following the setup guide. You can also use the installation guide that came with your keyguard.
  4. It should now align properly with the vocab page that the keyguard was ordered for. If it still doesn’t fit, continue to the next section.

Keyguard Is the Wrong Size

  1. Measure your screen diagonally, from one corner to the opposite corner.
  2. Find your measurement and device type in the chart below to confirm your device size.
  3. Compare your device size with the size you selected when you ordered the keyguard.
  4. If the sizes don’t match, request a new keyguard with the correct device size (see “Request a New Keyguard” below).

You Received a Replacement Device

If you recently received a replacement device through warranty, your new device may need the Integrated sideCLICK keyguard, so your old sideCLICK With Clips keyguard may no longer fit.

  1. Check the back of your new device for four threaded holes and one or more QR codes (see the images under “The Keyguard Is for the Wrong Device Type”).
  2. Submit a new keyguard request with your current device information (see “Request a New Keyguard” below). Replacement keyguards are free for all QuickTalker Freestyle users.
