The PLAY has 512 megabytes — that’s 10 hours of audio! The audio does not have to be equally distributed between the buttons. Each number you use can hold as much or as little audio as you wish, with a total length of 10 hours.

The PLAY device can last between 2.5 hours to 5 hours on continuous play depending on the sound level. When set on the highest volume, the PLAY will operate continuously for 2.5 hours. When set on the lowest volume, it will operate continuously for 5 hours.

When the battery is depleted it takes up to 1 hour to get back to fully charged. When your PLAY device is charging, the light at the top of the device will be flashing red. You’ll know when it’s fully charged when the light at the top of the device stops flashing and turns off.

We even recommend that if you have a recording from someone special (like a child at a precious age or an elderly loved one) that you back up the recordings by plugging the USB charging cable into your computer.

Start recording your audio! You might want to do a test recording — see how far from your mouth (or sound source) you prefer the device to be and how loud you’d like to speak. Continue recording until you are finished, then simply press the II >> button a second time. Slide the selector switch to PLAY, enter your number, and press the II >> button to hear your recording.
