|---|---|
| Hand does not move or moves slowly. | Check battery installation and replace with fresh AAA batteries if needed. Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position. |
| Hand frequently tips over. | Operate the hand on smooth, flat surfaces. Avoid rugs, carpets, or uneven terrain, as these can cause instability. |
