Barbara,

Can you alter the volume on yours when you are not playing a label message?  
So, you've looked at your label and it's stoppped speaking and you decide that 
volume was rather high.  You press the down button a few times and play again 
...  Has the volume changed?  Or do you have to alter the volume while a 
message is playing?  If that message is a very short one, that could (I 
suppose) be why the volume doesn't appear to alter at that stage for me.

I am just so hoping I won't have to send it back after all, but I haven't got 
my volume working at all.
