Why does the LED alternate flashing between red and yellow two times and not play my message?
This is typically related to an issue with the battery installed in the device. The battery may be low or depleted or you are using a battery labeled “Heavy Duty”, “Industrial Grade” or “ProCell”. These types of batteries handle power differently than regular alkaline batteries, and when used in our devices respond similar to low/dead batteries. We recommend using a regular alkaline battery to avoid any issues with recording or playing messages. Replace your battery and try to use it again. If the problem persists contact Tech Support for further assistance.

Why can’t I change levels or record new messages?
It’s likely the lock feature has been enabled. To enable/disable the lock feature press and hold the Record and Level buttons at the same time for 5 seconds. When activated/deactivated you should see all the LED’s flash twice, then turn off.

Do the top 3 message cells change with different levels?
The top 3 messages are core messages that remain the same through all levels.

How long is the total recording time?
Total recording time across all the levels:

Can you add an external switch or operate a toy/appliance with this device?
No, the QuickTalker 7, 12 and 23 do not have input or output for external equipment. If you require this functionality, we’d recommend reviewing the SuperTalker FT as a suitable option.

Why can't record a new message?
If the device is not locked and you are able to go into the recording mode, but still unable to record a message, the memory may be full or corrupted. (The record indicator lamp lights up orange)

To erase all messages and clear the memory, press and hold the record button down for 20-30 seconds. When the device has fully erased you will hear 2 short beeps indicating the process has been completed.
