USING YOUR

PASSWORD NOTES™

GETTING STARTED

To open your Password Notes for the first time, insert the Reset

Key, with the Girl Tech logo facing up, into the slot located on the rear panel.

NOTE: Make sure you insert the

Reset Key into the slot on the rear panel. There is also a slot on the left side panel which leads to the Secret Compartment. Inserting the key into this slot could result in the key becoming locked inside of your Password Notes.

You will then need to select the mode that you would like to use. You have a choice of two modes, Whisper

Off and Whisper On. To select the mode, slide the

Whisper switch to the desired position.

Whisper Off Mode - With this mode, you will record and speak your password in a normal tone of voice.

Whisper On Mode - With this mode, you will record and speak your password in a whisper.

Depending on the mode you selected, you will then be prompted to “Record your Password” or “Whisper your

Password”. Wait for the green “Access” light to illuminate then speak or whisper your chosen password into the microphone (Mic). Short words like "popcorn" or

"fun" work best. You will then be prompted to “Repeat your Password”.

NOTE: When recording your password, make sure you are in a quiet place. Your Password Notes hears everything.

NORMAL USE

Press and hold the Access button. Depending on the mode you selected, you will be prompted for “Your

Password Please” or to “Whisper your Password”. Wait for the green “Access” light, then speak or whisper your chosen password clearly into the microphone (Mic).

Continue following the voice prompts until your

Password Notes opens automatically.

CHANGING MODES AND PASSWORDS

Whenever you change modes, you will be prompted to record a new password. At the voice prompts, record your new password by speaking or whispering clearly into the microphone (Mic) as described earlier. To change your password without changing modes, press and hold the Password button for about one second.

This will erase your old password and you will be prompted to record your new password.

LOCKING YOUR PASSWORD NOTES™

Firmly close the cover and your Password Notes will lock automatically.

SECURITY SWITCH

Security - Sliding this switch between “Hi” and “Lo” controls how precisely your Password Notes recognizes your voice. If you are experiencing problems with getting your Password Notes to recognize your password, switching to "Lo" security may help.

RESET KEY

The Reset Key is located in the battery compartment door. The Reset Key will open your Password Notes without asking for your password, just in case you forget it. Insert the Reset Key, with the Girl Tech logo facing up, into the slot located on the rear panel and your

Password Notes will open automatically.

NOTE: Make sure to keep your key in a safe place or put it back in the battery compartment door. Never put it inside of the locking portion of your Password Notes.
