Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Bassinet does not power on. AC adapter not properly connected or power outlet issue. Ensure the AC adapter is securely plugged into both the bassinet and a working wall outlet. Try a different outlet.
Smart Connect app not connecting or functioning. Bluetooth connectivity issues, app compatibility, or app decommissioning. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the bassinet is within range. Restart both the app and the bassinet. Note that the app is scheduled for discontinuation by June 2025; after this, app functionality will cease.
Motor makes unusual noise (e.g., "rusty swing" sound) during vibration or white noise. Potential motor wear or internal component issue. Reduce vibration intensity. If the noise persists or worsens, discontinue use of the vibration feature and contact customer support.
Assembly parts (e.g., arm supports) are difficult to secure or come loose. Misalignment during assembly or manufacturing variation. Carefully re-align parts and ensure screws are properly threaded. Do not overtighten. If parts cannot be securely fastened, discontinue use and contact customer support.
White noise has a faint background or glitching sound. Internal speaker or sound module issue. Try adjusting the volume. If the issue persists, consider using an external sound machine if the sound quality is disruptive. Contact customer support if the issue significantly impacts usability.
