Using the System Lock Settings in Accent
System Lock
When System Lock is ON you can still use your vocabulary to speak but the use of the TOOLS key on the front of the case is severely limited. Only certain menus in the Toolbox will work. For instance, if the system is locked and you select the TOOLS key on the front of the case, you will see a message similar to this:
The password must be entered to open the Toolbox or put in the USB or SD card that has your pre-stored System Lock Override tool stored on it then select Tools
To turn System Lock OFF go to MAINTENANCE MENU, select the System Lock Settings option and turn System Lock OFF. This puts your device back into normal use mode.
System Lock Password
You must enter a password to turn the System Lock ON. This means that in a locked system you cannot go from CORE or your Home page to the Toolbox without entering your password.
1. Turn System Lock Password ON.
2. Spell a password and select OK.
Now when you are using your MAP and select the TOOLS key on the front of the case, you will see the QWERTY Keyboard appear with a message in the text bar that reads: Enter Password. If you forgot it, close the software now.
Once you enter the password, the side menu bar will open where you can then choose what function you would like to do, such as go to the TOOLBOX. This will take you to the Toolbox where you can open the MAINTENANCE menu to System Lock Settings and turn System Lock OFF.
IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Before turning on the Tools Key – Locked feature, you must create a System Lock Override tool to allow you access back into the Toolbox.
The default is Unlocked.
This option is only available when you have locked your system.
When the TOOLS key is locked, you cannot get into the Toolbox to use the Toolbox menus.
NOTE: All devices have an on-screen TOOLS key. Some devices may also have a TOOLS key on the front of the device case. When you choose to lock the TOOLS key, both the on-screen TOOLS key and the TOOLS key on the case are locked.
This System Lock Override tool has been added to simplify programming when System Lock is ON. By using this feature you will no longer need to turn the System Lock OFF to program the Accent 1200 when the flash drive containing the override file is plugged into the device.
You will need a USB flash drive.
Your device system and TOOLS key must be unlocked.
· Plug the USB Flash Drive into one of the USB ports on your device.
· Go to the Toolbox.
· Select the MAINTENANCE MENU
· Select System Lock Settings.
· Select Create System Lock Override.
· When the override is completed you will see a yellow information box telling you the override was successfully created on Removable Drive X (whatever the drive is on your device). Select OK.
· Remove the USB flash drive and label it so you will remember that it contains your System Lock Override.
Once the file is created and when the flash drive containing the file is plugged in, you can simply do all your programming without having to turn System Lock OFF. When programming is complete, remove the Removable Drive and the unit remains locked.
NOTE: If the removable drive is misplaced, you can still use the standard methods for turning off System Lock. If the Tools Key is locked however, you must create another System lock Override from another PRC device or via the PASS software on a computer.
