TESTING THE DEVICE
To ensure your Simply Soft device is functioning
properly, perform the following sound test.
Insert the battery and wait 3 seconds. Change the
Memory Level to Memory 4 (see page 7). Cup the
device in your hand and hold close to your ear. You
should hear a high-pitched sound called feedback.
If you don’t hear anything, check to ensure the
battery is correctly installed and the door is fully
closed. If you still don’t hear any whistling, try a
fresh battery.
If you continue to experience silence from the device, technical support is
available at www.readywearcenter.com (see page 22).
When successful testing is complete, open the battery door to return the
device to Memory 1.
