Ensure the device is not in a 'Mute' or low-volume mode if applicable, or replace the batteries as low power often causes audio to cut out before visuals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the device, install three fresh AA batteries into the rear compartment using a Phillips head screwdriver to ensure the battery door is securely closed. The tablet is a standalone unit and does not require internet connectivity or external software installation. To maintain the device, wipe the plastic casing with a lightly dampened cloth if it becomes sticky from play. Avoid submerging the unit in water or using abrasive cleaners. When not in use for extended periods, it is recommended to remove the batteries to prevent internal corrosion.
