5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Powering On/Off and Swing Speed
The swing can be powered by the included AC adapter or by batteries (for bouncer vibration). To start the swing, gently push the seat to initiate motion, then use the dial on the control panel to select one of the 6 swing speeds. Turn the dial to '0' to turn off the swing motion.
Figure 2: The control panel allows selection of swing speeds, melodies, nature sounds, and volume.
5.2 Changing Swing Direction
The multi-direction seat allows you to change the swing motion from side-to-side to head-to-toe. Locate the button on the swing arm near the control unit. Press this button and rotate the seat to your desired direction until it locks into place.

5.3 Music, Sounds, and Vibration
Use the dedicated buttons on the control panel to select from 10 classic melodies and 5 nature sounds. Adjust the volume using the volume up/down buttons. The bouncer unit features a separate soothing vibration unit with 2 speed settings. This is battery-operated and can be used when the bouncer is detached from the swing frame.
5.4 Detaching and Using the Bouncer
To detach the swing seat and use it as a portable bouncer, locate the carry handles on both sides of the seat. Press the release buttons on the underside of these handles and lift the seat upwards. The bouncer can then be placed on a flat surface. The vibration function is accessible on the bouncer unit itself.
