A force restart turns your QuickTalker Freestyle off and back on, even when the screen won’t respond to touch. The buttons you press depend on which model you have, so start by finding your model. 

Find Your Model 

Have a home button? If you have a small round button below your screen, you have a model with a home button.  

• Follow the steps under “Force Restart a Model With a Home Button.” 

Don’t have a home button? If you don’t see one, you have a model without a Home button.  

• Follow the steps for your QuickTalker Freestyle or QuickTalker Freestyle Mini below.
