FAQs

Are batteries included with the shark?

Yes, the ZURU Robo Alive Shark comes with the necessary LR44 batteries installed so it is ready to play right out of the box.

Can I use the shark in a salt water pool?

It is recommended to use the shark in fresh water only. Saltwater can cause premature corrosion of the electronic sensors and battery contacts.

How do I change the batteries?

Use a small screwdriver to open the battery compartment, remove the depleted LR44 batteries, and insert new ones, ensuring the seal is tightly closed afterward.

Is the shark suitable for children under 3?

No, the product is not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts that may pose a choking hazard.

Does it work in dry conditions?

No, the shark relies on water-activated technology to complete the electrical circuit and begin swimming; it will not function outside of water.

Troubleshooting

Shark does not start swimming when placed in water

Ensure the water level is deep enough and check if the LR44 batteries are installed correctly or need replacement.

Movement seems slow or jerky

Clean the tail and fins of any debris or hair that may have become tangled, and check if the battery power is low.

Water entered the battery compartment

Immediately remove the batteries, dry the compartment thoroughly with a cotton swab, and allow it to air dry for 24 hours before replacing the batteries.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: remove the shark from its packaging and ensure the battery compartment is sealed tight. To begin play, simply place the toy into water. After each use, remove the shark from the water to prevent battery drainage and potential corrosion. Shake off excess water and dry the unit thoroughly with a soft towel before storing. Always check the battery cover to ensure it is locked securely to maintain the watertight seal. Avoid using the shark in saltwater or chlorinated pools for extended periods, as salt and high chemical concentrations can degrade the internal components over time.
