1.
Carefully turn unit over and remove the small screw from the battery
compartment. Slide the battery compartment cover off. Observing
polarity, install four AAA size batteries (Not included) into the holder.
Replace cover and screw. Alkaline batteries must be used only (e.g.
Duracell or Energizer brand). Do not use rechargeable batteries or any
other type of batteries because they supply lower voltage and the unit will
not perform properly.
2.
Never mix brands, types or old and new batteries together. Replace the
battery compartment cover and replace the screw.
3.
Turn the unit on by turning the ON/OFF/VOLUME knob located on the
bottom panel of the unit. To record, first press and hold the red
“RECORD” button press down one of the colored textured switch plates.
While continuing to hold the plate down, speak your message. Release
both when you finish recording. Record on the remaining switch plate in
the same manner.
4.
To play back your message, press lightly on the colored textured switch
plate of your choice. It is not necessary to continue holding the switch
plate down when listening to the message. The unit will continue to
playback the entire message, even if pressure on the switch plate is
released.

The unit will retain recorded information indefinitely, even if the batteries
are removed. Previously stored information will be erased only when a
new recording is performed.

knob located on the bottom panel of the unit.
