5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and proper function of your ROBOTIME AM305 Music Box, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the wooden surfaces. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which can damage the wood.
- Storage: Store the music box in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations, to prevent warping or damage to the wood and mechanism.
- Handling: Handle the music box with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts, which could dislodge or break delicate components.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ROBOTIME AM305 Music Box, consider the following:
- Music Not Playing: Ensure the music box has been properly wound. Check if any internal components are obstructed or dislodged.
- Parts Not Fitting: During assembly, if pieces do not fit, re-check the instruction manual to ensure you are using the correct pieces for the current step and that they are oriented correctly. Do not force pieces together.
- Winding Key Stuck/Loose: If the winding key feels stuck or too loose, stop immediately. Do not force it. This may indicate an issue with the internal spring or mechanism.
