IMPORTANT! If you pull the curtain string and the star lights
do not glow and you do not hear applause, you may need to
reshape the plastic tab on the back of the curtain. During
packaging and shipping, the notched tab on the curtain may
bend. If this happens, you may need to bend the notched tab
back into its original shape (flat).
• Tip the stage face down.
• Remove the screw near the notched tab from the archway
with a Phillips screwdriver.
• Straighten the notched tab by bending it back towards the
archway to straighten it. Make sure the notched tab is flat.
• Replace the screw into the archway.Tighten the screw
with a Phillips Screwdriver. Do not over-tighten.
• Check to be sure the notched tab rubs across the bump on
the archway.This triggers the lights and sound on the toy. If
you still do not hear sound or see lights, review this step or
check your battery installation (please review instructions on
page 7).
• Do not immerse any part of this toy. Surface wash this toy
with a mild detergent and clean, soft cloth.
• If sound or lights from/on this toy become faint, or if there is
no sound or lights, remove the batteries and dispose of
them properly. Replace the batteries with three, new, size
“AA” (LR6) alkaline batteries.
