RECORDING YOUR PASSWORD
1Press the Access Button to open the journal cover. NOTE: If you have difficulty opening the journal the first time, try pressing the Reset Button with the tip of a pen.
2Press the Record Options Button until you hear the option for Record Your Password, then press the
Select Button to enter your choice.
3When the LED light comes on, clearly say your chosen password (See RECORDING TIPS).
4You will then be asked to repeat your password. Be sure to speak clearly and say your password the EXACT same way each time! If spoken correctly, your password will be accepted. If not, you will be asked to try again.
•HINT #1: Sometimes a short password works better than a longer one. “Cat” is easier to say correctly than “hippopotamus.”
•HINT #2: If the journal does not accept your password after speaking it clearly, try lowering your voice and repeating it. You can also try adjusting your Security setting to Low (See SECURITY
SETTINGS).
NOTE: If you do not want to set a password, switch the Security Button to OFF. The Access Button will then automatically open the journal.
USING YOUR PASSWORD
When the journal is closed, press the Access Button and the journal will prompt you to “Please enter your password,” Hold the journal at arms length and try to say your password the same way you recorded it. This works best in a quiet environment, and you should speak in a calm, level voice.
