Can I continue to record a sound until it's just right?

Yes, each time you push the "record" button, you capture a new sound. By removing the pull-tab, you can protect your recording from being lost.

How can I protect my recorded message?

Remove the pull-tab on the side of the card to protect your recording forever.

Can I put the pull tab back in to re-record a message?

Yes, it's small, so don't lose it if you plan to put it back into the card.

Can I add several messages to the PictureThatSound™ card?

No, only one message can be recorded and stored on the card.

Will I lose my recorded sound if the batteries die?

No. Each PictureThatSound card comes loaded with long-life coin batteries. At the end of the batteries' life, you can replace them easily without disturbing the recording. The recording will not play until the batteries are replaced.

How do I replace the batteries?

On the left side of the PictureThatSound card, use your fingernail to slide open the battery tray. Use your fingernail to open the prong securing each battery. Simply pull out the old batteries and replace with new ones. Make sure you insert the batteries with the same side up as the old batteries and push the prongs down to secure them.

What type of replacement batteries should I purchase?

Your included batteries should last as much as 10 years. Purchase the same coin batteries as found in the card. You'll need three L1131 coin batteries. Most retail stores will carry these batteries.

Is the paper featured in the PictureThatSound card archival quality?

Yes, the high-quality cardstock is acid and lignin free, like most memory-keeping paper products. It's always best to use craft gloves and/or wash your hands before handling the card to prevent the transfer of skin oils to the card.

How do I attach a photo to the PictureThatSound card?

You will find archival-safe adhesive products at your local craft store or online.

Can I trim the card?
