5. Operating Instructions
The Chicco Bee Cradle Mobile offers three primary functions:
- Cradle Mobile with Projection: This mode combines rotating plush figures, light projection onto the ceiling, and musical melodies. Use the control buttons to activate rotation, projection, and music simultaneously.
- Bedside Table Night Light: The main projector unit can be detached from the crib arm and placed on a bedside table. In this mode, it functions as a soft night light with projection and music, without the rotating mobile arm.
- Baby Play Centre: The mobile can be used to engage the baby with its rotating figures and music. Ensure it is always out of reach.
Controls:
Refer to the symbols on the main projector unit for specific button functions. Typically, there are buttons for:
- Power On/Off
- Music On/Off
- Projection On/Off
- Rotation On/Off
Note: The music volume is fixed and cannot be adjusted.
6. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning:
- Wipe the main projector unit and crib attachment arm with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in water.
- The plush bee figures are removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before reattaching.
- Battery Replacement: When the mobile's functions (rotation, projection, music) become weak or stop working, replace all 3 AA batteries with new ones. Ensure correct polarity.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage. Store the mobile in a clean, dry place.
