Caring for Your GeoSafari Talking Globe
Treat your

like a piece of furniture. It can be
dusted or wiped clean as often as necessary. Use a dust cloth sprayed with
an aerosol furniture cleaner to keep it dust-free.
NOTE: Do not spray anything directly on the globe or its base.
This globe is printed with quality light-fast inks. Keep it out of direct
sunlight.
Never use your globe as a toy. Do not throw it in the air. Do not use force
to make the globe turn. Treat it gently and it will last for years.
If Your Globe Fails to Operate Properly
1.
Check the batteries.
Weak batteries can cause a variety of

Replace the batteries with a fresh set. If your globe will not be used
for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent
possible corrosion.
2.
Use the correct adapter. WARNING:
Adapters not designed for the
GeoSafari Talking Globe can cause permanent damage to the unit’s
electronics.
Using any adapter other than the one especially designed
for the GeoSafari Talking Globe will void your warranty.

adapter body is inserted into the wall outlet.
NOTE: The adapter will not drain any batteries in the battery compartment.
