TROUBLESHOOTING

• The chalkboard must always be in the correct orientation and distance

to the dolls. If the dolls do not answer or raise their hands, make sure
the dolls are lined up and facing the chalkboard.

awake, make sure the dolls are lined up and facing the chalkboard.
You may also need to turn the dolls on again in case they went to
sleep.

• If the doll states he or she doesn’t know the answer, re-insert the card

and make sure you hear the beep sound. If the problem persists, try
another card.

• If the chalkboard consistently talks, the batteries may be low. Replace

the batteries.

• If the doll does not say anything or fails to raise its arm when you pr
