Q: When I squeeze the elephant's foot, I only get a short burst of sound and light. I do not get 20 minutes even after squeezing it repeatedly. How do you get the longer burst of music and light?

submitted by Gma Antsy - 3 years ago
  • A: Had same question. When you open the elephant on the back (the clasp is made of velcro), you have two switches. The left switch can be used to set whether short melodies should be played or sleepmelodies throughout. The elephant can be turned on at the right switch and choose volume 1 or 2. When you see the places of switches at place, then you can try switching on/off and between modes without uncovering clasp from back, but directly through toy material. Hope it helps you.

Q: What type of battery does it take?

submitted by Martha - 3 years ago
  • A: Thank you for your question. Access the slit on the rear to access the battery compartment. You will need 3 batteries AAA HD .

    Was great while it worked. The button on the foot to play the music won't work after only 4 months! Got it for Christmas. Stopped working at the end of April. Very disappointing. 2 stars because it was expensive and baby loved it until then.

    My daughter loved the lights in music until it stopped working. Had one for Christmas that died received another one that stopped working after one use even changed the batteries as well and no luck. If it would actually work when needed, it would be a five stars.
