Battery Installation
• Close the battery compartment door and tighten the
screws with a Phillips screwdriver. Do not over-tighten.
Important Note: Under normal use conditions, the batteries
in the mobile 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 or movement of the mobile
sluggish, it's time to replace the batteries in the mobile.
Remote
• Locate the battery compartment door on the back of
the remote.
• Unfasten the screw in the battery compartment door with
a Phillips screwdriver.
• Open the battery compartment door and insert two size
“AA” (LR6) alkaline batteries in the correct polarity as
indicated in the battery compartment.
• Close the battery compartment door and tighten the
screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Do not over-tighten.
Important Note: If the mobile does not respond to use of
the remote it does not necessarily mean that the battery
power in the remote is low. Replace the batteries in the
remote if the LED signal indicator on the remote is dim
when the button is pressed.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.

Important Notes
• In the unlikely event that use of the remote interferes with
normal use of other remote controlled equipment, such as
televisions and stereos, or use of other electric or battery
powered appliances interfere with operation of the mobile,
do not use both appliances at the same time.
• For best performance between the mobile and the
remote, avoid using the remote in areas of bright light.
In bright natural or artificial light you may notice loss of
range. Move the mobile or otherwise reduce the amount
of light to improve performance.
•When using the remote, make sure that the arrow on the
mobile’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
mobile 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.
