Listening to the Music Lock on the go

NOTE: When the Music Lock is docked you can only use 

Abbee controls. Buttons on the Music Lock do not function 

while the Music Lock is docked on Abbee.

The portable Music Lock lets you take your recordings on the go. Before 
using the Music Lock it must be charged for a 

minimum of four hours

 

by docking on Abbee.

Turning the Music Lock on and off

To turn the portable Music Lock on, insert the included headphones or 
auxiliary cable, and press the “Play/Pause” button for a few seconds 
until the blue Play button light (1) is illuminated.
Turn off the Music lock by removing the headphones, or press and hold 
“Play/Pause” for 3 seconds (while the headphones are still attached.) 
You know the Music lock is off when the blue light (1) turns off. 
For the general controls, please see the Music Lock diagram earlier in 
this document.

Transferring recordings to the Music Lock 
(Synchronizing, “SYNC”)

Abbee will show “SYNC” on the display when the Music Lock is 
docked. Your recordings on Abbee will be transferred to the Music Lock. 
Abbee will display “Done” when the transfer is complete. All recorded 
recordings and audio are stored in Abbee’s internal memory and then 
transferred to the Music Lock.
Music will only transfer from Abbee to the Music Lock (one way.) Music 
does not transfer from the Music Lock to Abbee.

IMPORTANT - DO NOT REMOVE THE MUSIC LOCK WHILE “SYNC” IS 
SHOWN ON THE SCREEN.
