Power Settings

To start:

• Tur n the power dial to the medium setting. The power
indicator will light.

• Give the seat a light push to start the swinging motion.
Adjust the power dial to the desired swing motion set­ting: low, medium or high.

Helpful Hints:

• As with most battery-powered swings, a heavier child
will reduce the amount of swinging motion on all set­tings. In most cases, the low setting works best for a
smaller child while the high setting works best for a
larger child.

• If the low setting provides too much swinging motion
for your child, try placing one end of a blanket under­neath your child and let the other end of the blanket
drape down while swinging.
