    The sound recordings appear not to record or to default to another recorded sound?

    This will happen if you duplicate tags on a single device. Make sure you are using differently coded sound cards.

    If you duplicate sound tags with the same number or name you cannot record different sounds on each, e.g. trying to record Jane on blank 12 and Mary on another blank 12 is impossible. The words are stored on the machine, the tags are the route to accessing the right sounds.

    I can’t get a good recording. Recorded sound is too quiet. The end of the recording gets chopped off?

    To obtain good quality recordings:

    • Record sounds in a very quiet room and speak very clearly into the microphone using a normal speaking voice as though you were speaking to the person you help.
    • Record sounds with the LOGAN® PROXTALKER® device placed on a table or desk in front of you so you can easily see the front edge. Do not push the LOGAN® PROXTALKER® device too far away.
    • 2 Sec sounds.
      Press and release tag before starting to speak.
    • 8 second sounds.
      Press and hold tag while recording do not release till after finished speaking.

    Some Buttons Do Not Work?

    Make sure the area surrounding the buttons is free of dirt and debris.
    TIP: A toothpick is useful for freeing up difficult to remove foreign objects.

    The buttons are too hard for the user to press?

    We produce a Light Touch version of the LOGAN® PROXTALKER® device which may be easier to use, the buttons require half the pressure and were designed for those with muscles weakness.

    I want to organize words into categories?

    The sound tags are too small for the images I want to use?

    We produce 2 different sizes of tags: 3.5 x 3.5 cms or 8.5x5 cms.
    You can always stick large pictures or objects of reference onto a tag to suit individual needs.

    We use different symbols from those supplied?

    We currently have agreement to sell the Widgit symbols from Communicate in Print however you can produce whatever symbols/pictures/photos you want.

    I want to have 2 sets of programming tags so we can make changes at home and school?

    We sell programming tag set as accessories.

    How do I protect the new stickers from getting wet?

    You should have received blank stickers and laminate tag protectors with your LOGAN® PROXTALKER® device, putting the laminate over the stickers offers some protection from spillage. We sell extra sheets of both as accessories.

    The factory produced tags are too shiny?

    You should have received blank stickers and laminate tag protectors with your LOGAN® PROXTALKER® device, putting the laminate over the customized tags will reduce the glare. Please request more laminates if this if an issue.

    Is there another way to store the LOGAN® PROXTALKER® device than the BackPack?

    How do I change the ProxTalker 4 “C” Batteries

    1. Whether the device is in a backpack or a binder it is the same to get the ProxTalker out of the case.  You will need a flat screwdriver or something similar that you can slide between the ProxTalker and the tabs on the sides that hold the device in.  Pry the tab away from the ProxTalker and the device will pop out.  The tab is very strong so you will have to put some pressure on it.
    2. Once device is out of carrier flip over and battery compartment is on the bottom of the ProxTalker.
    3. You will need the Torx wrench that came with your device to open this compartment.  If you no longer have the wrench please call Customer Service at 866-962-0966 and we will be happy to send you one.
    4. Make sure to replace all four batteries with brand new batteries or the function of the ProxTalker will be affected.
