# Play Lost Mode Sound

Play the Lost Mode sound on a device that’s in Lost Mode.

## Discussion

A device responds with error code:

- `12067`: If it isn’t in Lost mode.
- `12078`: If the command is invalid while in Lost Mode.

The sound plays until the server disables Lost Mode or the user disables the sound on the device.
