Notes
• If the desk does not recognize the tile rolled,
check to see if:
- Tiles are rolled outside a zone of about 1 m (3 feet)
from the sides and front of the desk. Do not roll tiles
behind the desk.
- Your child is playing with the desk in a noisy room
with clicking noises in the background. This toy
recognizes the clicking sounds made from each
tile as it is rolled. If there is another clicking or
tapping noise in the background, the toy will not
be able to identify the tile because of this interfer-
ence. Make sure your child plays with this toy in
a quiet room.
- Your child rolls the tile while the toy is “talking”.
Wait until the toy is finished “talking”.
- Your child has rolled two tiles at the same time.
Roll only one tile at a time.
- Both wheels on the tile do not contact a surface
when rolled.
• If the desk does not recognize the letter rolled, you
will hear a tone. Simply re-roll the tile. This time,
try rolling it slower.
• For best performance, roll the tiles on the desk surface.
• This toy features an automatic shut off, and will turn
off if your child is not actively playing with it after
about 15-30 seconds. You can also turn this toy off
by pressing the power button o/●.

Listening Skills

• Your child can practice how
to make letters by tracing
the raised letter on each tile.
• Then, your child can use the
dry erase marker (included)
to write the letter or draw a picture on the
desk surface!
Note: Be sure to let dry erase markings
dry at least 15 seconds before touching.
• Use paper towel to erase the
drawing surface.
IMPORTANT! To completely remove dry-
erase marker residue from the drawing
surface, wipe it with a damp cloth after
each use. Dry-erase marker images left on
the drawing surface for extended periods of
time should also be removed this way.
• Use only the Fisher-Price®dry-erase
marker with this product. Never use
regular or permanent markers because
they cannot be erased and will damage
the drawing surface.
• Never use the Fisher-Price dry-erase
marker on any other surfaces. The
markings may not erase from porous
surfaces such as cloth, unfinished wood,
matte finish paint, wallpaper, vinyl, etc.
