⚠️ If the user is unable to record new messages or change the level, it's most likely due to accidental activation of the Record and Level locks. For quick reference, the process listed above is printed on the back of the device:

10. Overlays

⚠️ If you laminate your overlays or place them in plastic wallets, ensure they are not too thick, as this may prevent proper contact with the touch-sensitive membrane underneath. This can result in the incorrect message (or no message at all being played).
