How to use your Callfinder®
Hold the Callfinder® like a pen in an upright position. Touch the selected photo with the tip of the Callfinder®. You should now hear the sound of the specific bird/mammal or words.
For some photos, only a ‘beep’ sound will be heard. This happens because that particular sound is not available.
To switch to the next sound
To hear the next sound, simply touch the next relevant picture with the tip of the Callfinder®, still keeping the Callfinder® in a vertical position.
Do not press the On/Off Power Button!

- The light will turn blue and the Callfinder® will first play the sound from the book again and then it will play your recorded pronunciation.

NB. Only the last recording will be stored in the memory.
To plug in alternative cables
USB port
Use this port to connect your Callfinder® to your computer. You will need to connect your Callfinder® to your computer when uploading or updating sound files or when you would like to listen or view your recordings.
Earphone port
You can plug in a set of earphones so that only you can listen to your sounds. This is especially helpful when you are in an environment that requires you to be quiet. Alternatively, if you want to make your sounds louder, you can plug a speaker in here as well.
