What should I do if…
…the yellow indicator light is blinking, even when they toy is closed off/the audio playback is freezing/ the speakers are crackling/ touching a paw doesn't do anything. We are very sorry to say that your Smart Teddy needs some repairs. Please contact us at: hello@smartteddy.store
Can Smart Teddy hear what people are saying and answer them?
The toy doesn't have a microphone, so he can't hear what you're saying. To answer, Smart Teddy needs your help. Choose an answer, and the Teddy will say it out loud.
The Teddy reacts independently to the interactive cards—when a child places a paw on a card, the bear will say the corresponding phrases.
Can I upload my own fairytales to Smart Teddy?
That isn't possible yet. If you can't find your favorite fairytale in the library, please write to us; we consider any requests we receive.
Can I change my Smart Teddy's voice?
No, that isn't possible. All the phrases your Teddy says were recorded by the same actor, so you might say that your little bear has his own personality. We don't currently plan on changing it.
Can I wash my toy?
You can carefully wipe the outside of your bear or send it out for dry-cleaning. Since your Teddy has an electronics package inside, it is not washable.
Can I take my Smart Teddy outside, or on a plane?
Of course, but remember that your Teddy's battery runs out faster in the cold. There will be no problem taking your Teddy on a plane, since it has a special mode that deactivates its Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
What kind of warranty does Smart Teddy have?
The standard warranty is 12 months. That means that we will replace your Teddy with a new one if anything happens—even if your dog chews on him!
