Maintenance

• Avoid exposing the game to harsh chemicals, especially those containing acetone or similar solvents, as these can react with the plastic components and cause stickiness or damage.
• When not in use for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

Troubleshooting

• Game does not turn on:
  • Ensure batteries are inserted correctly with the proper polarity.
  • Replace old batteries with new AAA alkaline batteries.
  • Check that the battery compartment cover is securely closed.
• Commands are unclear or sounds are distorted:
  • Adjust the volume settings.
  • Ensure the speaker is not obstructed.
  • If using headphones, check the headphone connection and the headphones themselves.
• Game components (e.g., knobs) feel sticky:
  • This can occur if the plastic has been exposed to certain chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid strong cleaning agents.
