Rear Differntial Lock

I recently got a used 2008 FJ Cruiser and am new to the whole off roading scene. Anyways, a couple days ago, I was off roading and put my FJ in 4 HI and turned the differential lock on and started mudding around. I exceeded 5mph, which I read today, is not good :/. Shame on me for not reading the owners manual first! Also, I've heard that you are not to engage it in any setting other than 4LO. Is it possible that I caused some damage in doing that or is it fine? I don't or didn't experience any problems while doing so, so I'm assuming everything is fine. Feedback is definitely appreciated! Thank you all and have a most blessed day!

Doubtful that you did any damage, have you noticed any new sounds or issues since you did this? I am also curious if you mean the center differential vs the rear locking differential.
