5. Operating Instructions
The BABY born Sleep Well Bed features interactive sound functions to enhance playtime.
- Power On/Off: Locate the power switch, typically near the battery compartment, to turn the sound functions on or off.
- Activating Crying Sound: Place your BABY born doll (up to 43 cm) into the bed. Ensure the doll's head rests on the designated sensor area (often a 'big button' or pressure point) within the bed. This action will trigger a crying sound from the bed.
- Activating Sleep Sounds: While the doll is crying, place the cuddly Bruno bear next to the doll in the bed. The Bruno bear contains a magnetic function that interacts with the bed's sensor. This will cause the crying sound to stop, and soothing sleep music and snoring sounds will begin, indicating the doll is 'falling asleep'.
