Operation:

Paddy the Gel-a-Pillar requires 6 AA and 2 C batteries (not included).  We recommend using Duracell or Energizer alkaline batteries only.  Other types of batteries supply lower voltage and the unit may not perform properly. Do not use rechargeable batteries and never mix old and new or different brands or types of batteries.

The battery compartments are located on the bottom of the unit.  Remove the battery covers and install the batteries, paying attention to battery polarity. Replace the battery covers and secure them with the screws.

Turn the unit on by turning the “On/Off/Volume” knobs clockwise.  It is located at the back of the unit, allowing for easy access.

Apply gentle pressure anywhere on the Paddy switch and he will vibrate as a lively musical rhythm plays and bright green LEDs surrounding him light up.  Adjust the volume level to your preference by turning the “On/Off/Volume”.

Press anywhere on the squishy green gel pad to light up bright green LEDs surrounding it and to activate an amusing combination of sound effects.

When the red gel pad is touched, children sing the nursery rhyme “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” and bright red LEDs that encircle the pad light.  The volume level can be adjusted to your preference by turning the “On/Off/Volume” control knob on the back of the unit.

Pressing the orange gel pad activates a strong vibration and bright yellow LEDs around the gel pad illuminate.

 When the blue gel pad is touched, children begin singing the nursery rhyme “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and bright, multi-colored LEDs surrounding that gel pad twinkle like stars in response to the music.

To turn the unit off, turn the “On/Off/Volume” switch counterclockwise until it clicks off.

Troubleshooting:

If the Gel-a-Pillar does not function correctly:

1. Be sure that the “On/Off/Volume” switch is turned on.
2. Replace the batteries paying close attention to polarity.

Note:

• The gel pads are latex-free.
• Do not freeze them
• Do not use them orally

Care:

If you will not be playing with Paddy the Gel-a-Pillar for an extended amount of time, remove the batteries.

The unit can be wiped clean with any household multi-purpose cleaner and disinfectant.

Do not use abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surface.

Do not submerge the unit as it will damage the electrical components.
