Troubleshooting Common Issues

Facing difficulties? This section provides solutions for common problems like power issues, night light malfunctions, and clock inaccuracies with your Frida Sound Machine.

Sound Machine Not Powering On

Is your Frida Sound Machine failing to power on? First, ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the device and a functioning wall outlet. Try a different outlet to rule out an electrical issue.

If using batteries, verify they are correctly installed with the proper polarity (+/-) and are not depleted. Replace with fresh batteries if necessary.

Check the power button itself; ensure it’s fully engaged. If the issue persists, disconnect the power adapter and batteries for 60 seconds, then reconnect. This can sometimes reset the device.

If none of these steps resolve the problem, please contact Frida customer support for further assistance, as it may indicate a hardware malfunction.

Night Light Malfunctioning

Experiencing issues with the night light on your Frida Sound Machine? Begin by confirming the night light function is activated via the designated button. Cycle through the color options to see if a specific color is the problem.

Adjust the brightness settings; a very low setting might appear as if the light isn’t working. If the light is flickering or dim, try disconnecting and reconnecting the power adapter.

Ensure the light isn’t obstructed by anything. If the problem continues, a reset might help – disconnect power for one minute, then reconnect.

If the night light remains unresponsive, contact Frida customer support for potential repair or replacement options.

Clock Not Displaying Correct Time

Is the time on your Frida Sound Machine inaccurate? First, ensure the device is properly powered and receiving consistent electricity. Access the clock settings menu using the designated buttons – refer to the ‘Setting the Wake-Up Clock’ section for guidance.

Verify the time zone is correctly configured for your location. If the clock continues to drift, a reset might be necessary; disconnect the power for one minute, then reconnect;

Check for any interference from other electronic devices. If issues persist, consult the troubleshooting section or contact Frida customer support for assistance with time synchronization.
