Battery Installation
Soother
• Locate the battery compartment door on the back of
the soother.
• Unfasten the screws in the battery compartment door with a
Phillips screwdriver.
• Open the battery compartment door and insert four size “C”
(LR14) alkaline batteries in the correct polarity as indicated in
the battery compartment.
• Close the battery compartment door and tighten the screws
with a Phillips screwdriver. Do not over-tighten.
Under normal use conditions, the batteries in the soother will
require replacement more often than the batteries in the remote.
When you notice that the sound slows down and is affected by
the light display or when the sound or lights become faint, it's
time to replace the batteries in the soother.

If the LED signal indicator does not light after installing new
batteries in the remote, check the orientation of the batteries in
the battery compartment to make
sure they are properly installed. 4

recommended in the “Battery Installation” instructions are
to be used.

regularly for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other
parts. In the event that such damage is found, the toy must
not be used with the battery charger until the damage has
been repaired.

Important Note: When using the remote, make sure that the
arrow on the soother’s receiver dome is pointing towards the
transmitter on the remote. For best results, the path
between the transmitter on the remote and the receiver on
the soother should be in direct line of sight and free of
obstacles. Rotate the receiver dome so that the arrow on
the dome points to the area from which you’re most likely
to use the remote. For example, if you’ll most often be using
the remote from the doorway of the nursery, make sure that
the arrow on the receiver dome is pointing towards the
doorway and that the path between the receiver and the
doorway is free from obstructions.
