Troubleshooting

Sound effects not working

Ensure that two AA batteries are correctly inserted in the battery compartment. Check if the batteries are fresh or try replacing them with new ones. Make sure the on/off switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position.

Sound quality is poor or distorted

This usually indicates low battery power. Replace the batteries with fresh ones. Ensure the speaker area is not obstructed.

Fabric seems dirty

Wipe the surface gently with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn spots, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth. Do not soak the toy.

Handles feel loose

Check if the handles are securely attached to the stick. If they feel wobbly, gently try to tighten any visible screws or contact customer support if the issue persists.
