Below are a few tricks and videos that may help you get your item up and running.
Battery Operated Devices:
1. If the item is not working please make sure that you have opened the battery compartment. There is sometimes a small tab that must be removed for the batteries to make contact. This is placed in the device so that the batteries do not lose power. Once the tab is removed the item should start to work.
2. Change the batteries: We do not recommend using rechargeable batteries. Sometimes they are a bit too strong for the item and can short it out. Please make sure you are using brand new disposable batteries.
3. Put the batteries in the opposite direction that they are currently in. Even if you have think they are in correctly give it a shot, it sometimes works.
4. Some items come with a travel lock. Try holding down the the power button for 3 to 10 seconds to unlock the device.
Rechargeable Operated Devices:
It could be that the charger isn't connecting properly to the device and your device is not actually getting a full charge. Below are some troubleshooting actions you can take to try and fix the issue:
1. To ensure that the charger is connecting properly to the device, try cleaning the contacts on both the charger and the device with a lint free cloth and maybe a little disinfecting spray before reconnecting.
2. Check the strength and functionality of the wall adapter you are using with the product charging cable. I would suggest trying to charge another USB device with the same wall adapter and ensure that it is charging efficiently with a strong connection.
3. Check the strength of the outlet you are using. Again, I would try using the same outlet to charge another device and ensure that it is working properly.
4. Some items come with a travel lock. Try holding down the the power button for 3 to 10 seconds to unlock the device.
