Operation

Activating Dancing Groot

The Dancing Groot figure features a button located on its left knee, disguised as a leaf. Pressing this button activates the figure's functions.

• Internal Music & Dancing: Press the leaf button on Groot's left knee. The figure will say "I am Groot!", its eyes will light up, and it will begin to dance to a clip from the Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 movie soundtrack. It cycles through several songs.
• External Music Detection: To make Groot dance to external music (from a phone, tablet, or other device), press and hold the leaf button on its left knee for approximately 15 seconds. Groot's eyes will light up, indicating it is in external music detection mode. Place Groot near your music source, and it will begin to boogie to the beat. This mode is not continuously active; it needs to be re-activated if you wish for Groot to dance to external music again after a period of inactivity.

Note: No official seller videos are available for embedding. The functionality described is based on product features and user reviews.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean your Dancing Groot figure, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the figure in water, as this may damage the electronic components.

Storage

When not in use for extended periods, it is recommended to remove the batteries from the figure to prevent leakage and potential damage. Store the figure in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

• Figure does not dance or play music:
  • Ensure batteries are correctly installed and are not depleted. Replace with fresh AAA alkaline batteries if necessary.
  • Verify the leaf button on the left knee is being pressed firmly.
• Figure does not respond to external music:
  • Confirm that the external music detection mode has been activated by holding the leaf button for 15 seconds.
  • Ensure the music source is loud enough and close to the figure.
• Figure moves excessively or falls while dancing:
  • Place the figure on a stable, flat, and non-slippery surface.
  • Some users have found that leaving the small plastic tabs that come with the packaging on Groot's feet can help minimize movement.
