Done!

Before You Begin

Plan Your Pages

  • There are 21 buttons on the device. For books which are longer than 21 pages (many) we suggest using one button per page spread, or per 3 pages.
  • Start where you like, it doesn’t need to be page #1. Custom stickers allow you to show exactly where in the story you want the button to be pressed.
  • Button 21 is also recordable & playable!

Powering On

Insert The Batteries

The Book Buddy requires 3 AAA batteries (not included.)

Move ON/OFF switch UP to turn On.

Note: The green mode light will not light if there is nothing recorded on the device yet. This is ok!

Once the device has been recorded, the green light will blink three times when it is turned on.

Proper Recording Volume

Important:

Record at a Distance

  • Record with the device 12 to 15 inches away from you. Placing on a table or desk in front of you is ideal.
  • Do not record with the microphone close to your mouth, or playback volume will be extremely loud.
  • The Book Buddy plays back at the same volume it was recorded. If the volume is too soft or too loud, you can move the device closer or farther away from you.

Entering Recording Mode

Press 21 for 5 seconds,

until red light comes on.
  • This activates recording mode. This function is hidden to prevent accidental erasure.
  • You have 5 seconds to choose a button to record to, else recording mode will be exited automatically.

Press the button you wish to record: light blinks

red light blinks indicating it is actively recording

  • If you entered recording mode in error: simply wait until the mode times out, or turn the device off and back on.

Recording and Saving

Read the Page

You will have up to 30 seconds of recording time for each button, but you can end recording and move to the next button as soon as you wish.

When finished, press the same button again.

The light will turn solid again, and you may choose another button to record to, or wait 5 second to exit recording mode

Press Next Button- Begins recording immediately

You only need to press button 21 for 5 seconds again if you have exited recording mode and red light is off.

Recording Continued

Record Next Button

You only need to press button 21 for 5 seconds again if you have exited recording mode and red light is off.

Repeat for each page (or page spread)

  • Use remaining time or buttons for personal messages, songs, or whatever you like!

Wait 5 seconds to exit recording mode. (light will turn off.

  • You also may turn off the device to exit recording mode. Recording will be saved.

And you're done!
