I'm having a hard time with the on/off button. I try to move the button but it doesn't move? Does it move down or do I press it down?

There are two ways to activate. Putting pressure on the top or switching the tiny transparent switch for continuous operation. Keep in mind this is infrared so it's hard to see with the naked eye.

Depress the center and it should light. The little switch up at the bulb end slides towards the center to lock the light in the on position.

It slides. You might have to press the button down and then slide it towards the back of the light.

Mine clicks backward to a lock position using my finger nail. Stays put until I click it forward. No problem, works well.

Did you Tap the screen and then hold it and drag you finger in direction you wanted to move it. This could take a couple of times and getting use to. A little move of finger is a big move.

That is sad and so sorry to hear. My grandson hasn't had a problem with his The buttons were stiff when he first played with it but doesn't seem to have a problem with it now. Maybe you got a defective one. I would see if you can return it. Good luck

I had trouble with the on/off button initially, but when I changed the battery it worked just fine. I would give that a try!

The toy is set in demo mode when you first get it; have you checked that? I bought 2 of these for granddaughters, and both of them had to have the button moved from demo mode before they worked properly. Also, you might try different batteries. Hope this helps!

I am guessing you have a defective one. Mine works perfect; on/off and nothing more.

if you tap it while in 'ON' mode it will respond. The button is only for demos while in the box. It is meant to work while adventuring!! There are many more sayings in the 'ON' mode and my son will sit and tap it on his foot to hear them all...or just to make me a little nuts;) Enjoy!!

I returned this product because the on/off button didn't work, so I don't know the answers to your questions.

I just push the button and it's on. No problem. After some time, I have to do the same once more.Don't forget there has to be enough water. Anyway, the instructions are not too clear, but I worked it out.Hope to have helped you. Regars, Brigitte

I had to actually hold it down pretty hard to get it to come on and hold it for a few seconds. Works great, just hard to turn on. Same with turning it off...just push hard with foot. Sometimes it takes twice.

What have you tried to get it moving? Have you tapped the button in the middle?

You don't have to hold a button. Its a switch. Up for on and down for off (or it could be the other way around as I can't remember which direction) but the switch will stay locked in what ever direction you put it.

You need to hold the button. Seems not quite convenient, but I think much safer.

I have the same problem. The button simply sticks and the only thing to do is push the left part which happens to be a reset button. I'm not sure if this is a defect or not. The button seems like a rocker switch and you don't want that in this situation.

You hold down the button for a few seconds until it comes on. Also most of the time once you're done your workout most of these will reset to zero if not used for a period of time, this one stays and continues from where you started the next time you go to workout, so you have to hold down again to reset for next workout. It threw me off when I first started using too.

Down. Weather the switch is on or off, it looks just like the picture. The "OFF" is really a paddle that pivots at the top and pushes the off button which is located behind it. Hope that helps.

Hello Kieran, I've had it for months now and never ever had a problem with the button getting stuck! it only barely pushes in and doesn't look or feel like it'll get stuck. Hope this helps :)
