1. Either swipe up from bottom of screen and select the same icon and toggle on or off
2. Push the mute button up or down on side of he phone to toggle on or off.

HOW TO CLEAR THE LOC CODE ON MY FRIGIDAIRE WASHER

This means that the child lock (control lock) feature is active. There will be a button (or pair of buttons) depending on the model that you need to press and hold to toggle off the feature. If it is a single button, there will be a tiny padlock icon on the button. If you need to press and hold two buttons, the padlock symbol will be in a line indicating both buttons.

A likely combination is the Select and Option buttons. These should be held together for 10+ seconds. (This is the combination for some Affinity washers.)

If this doesn't work and you can't see a lock icon, please add a comment with the model number of your washer. I'll be glad to check what the combination is for your washer. The model number is usually on a plaque on the rim of the door for front loading washers or at the back at the top of the drum for a top loading washer.

I hope this helps.

What do the lighted icons stand for at the top of the keyboard? One looks like a locked padlock with a 9 in it. What does it mean?

That is your number lock key is turned on, which means that your 9 key keypad is ready to use. If you press the number lock key on your keyboard the light will go away but your 9 key numeric keyboard won't work until you press the number lock key again.

A light has appeared on the dash which is a circle. On each side of the circle, there are three tiny squares. What does this mean?

It is the brake pad warning light. It means the brake pads are worn to the point at which they need replacing. More than likely only the front need replacing but you should have them all inspected.

Locked down cant get into it

alot of these units have a tiny padlock slide switch on the top or bottom end. It may be as simple as sliding this over. However, so many units vary, i'd suggest pulling out the ol' manual, or finding one online for your unit. best of luck

Frozen screen after charging for the first time

Check the lock on the top of the zune player to see if it is locked first of all. There is a tiny slider on the top of the player. I had to charge mine for about an hour on the pc before i could use it.
