3.5.  Lock Function 
Sometimes you want to be able to lock the device’s inputs, for instance if listening to music 
and carrying the player in your pocket, to avoid unwanted inputs.  It is possible to lock the 
Sansa Fuze+ MP3 player’s touch pad. 
To lock
 the device, press and hold the Play/Pause button   for 3 seconds.  All the function 
keys will be disabled once lock is engaged.  Please note that the Lock function only works 
when the player is turned on. 
The following image will appear on the display screen if any button is pressed while the 
device is in the locked mode.  The music should continue to play even
 if the device is 
locked. 
 
To unlock
 the player, slide your finger up on the touch pad as indicated by the arrow. 
 Quick Tips: 
1.  Locking the device is quick and easy.  Simply press and hold the Play/Pause 
button 
 for 3 seconds. We highly recommend that when the device is playing 
in your pocket or is susceptible to receiving unwanted inputs while you are 
enjoying your listening, that you lock the device.
