Operating Instructions

• Power On/Off: Use the power button on the device or within the app to turn the Sandscape on or off.
• Select Patterns: Browse hundreds of mesmerizing patterns within the app. Choose a pattern to initiate the movement of the metal sphere, which will carve the design into the sand.

Maintenance

• Light Dusting: Regularly dust the exterior of the Sandscape with a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight and Moisture: Place the unit away from direct sunlight and areas with high humidity to prevent damage to the sand and internal components.
• Sand Care: Use the included sand rake tool to occasionally clean and re-level the sand.
• Cleaning: Avoid using water or abrasive cleaners on the metal sphere and the base of the unit.

Troubleshooting

• Device Not Responding: Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged into both the unit and a working power outlet. Check the app connection.
• Patterns Not Forming Correctly: Verify that the sand is evenly spread and the metal ball is properly centered. If the sand is clumpy, gently rake it to redistribute.
• App Connectivity Issues: Ensure your mobile device's Wi-Fi is enabled and connected to the same network as the Sandscape. Restart the app or the Sandscape unit if connection problems persist.
• Unusual Noises: The WhisperLite microbeads are designed for quiet operation. If unusual noises occur, ensure the unit is on a stable, level surface and that no foreign objects are obstructing the ball's movement.
