Symptom

Possible Cause/ Remedy

My 

KINETIC

 is not discoverable on my 

iPad.

•  Ensure battery is charged

•  Ensure unit is awake by pressing Power button

•  Unit may be connected to another iPad which is in range. Use ‘forget this 

device’ in Bluetooth menu of the device to which it is connected to make 

unit available again.

My 

KINETIC

 has been connected to this 

iPad but won’t connect now.

•  Re-connection should be automatic but if 

KINETIC

 has been paired with 

another iPad in the meantime, the connection is lost. Use ‘forget this 

device’ and then re-connect.

I am using 

KINETIC

 in Dice Activity but 

all the messages are in the wrong order.

•  The unit has not been inserted into the soft play cube in the correct 

orientation. Refer to the orientation guide on the front panel of 

KINETIC

 

and ensure that the visual prompts correspond to each of the faces 1-6.

I am using 

KINETIC

 in Find-Me  or Find-

Me-Sequence Activity but the unit 

triggers on the wrong face.

•  The unit has not been inserted into the soft play cube in the correct 

orientation. Refer to the orientation guide on the front panel of KINETIC 
and ensure that the visual prompts correspond to each of the faces 1-6.

I am using 

KINETIC

 in Dice-as-a-

Switch/ Tilt/ Tap Activity  but nothing 

happens when the unit is triggered.

•  The Function is not set correctly for the task you wish the unit to carry 

out. Please refer to ‘Setting the Function’ for more details.

Sometimes my 

KINETIC

 isn’t triggered 

when the soft play cube is turned onto 

a new face.

•  Ensure that the surface that the soft play cube rests upon is flat. If the 

cube remains tilted when resting on the surface, it may be unable to 
detect that its status has changed.

I’m using Tap Activity but sometimes 

the unit doesn’t trigger when tapped.

•  Try to increase the mechanical ‘coupling’ between the tap source and 

the unit by reducing the amount of padding in the cushion or using 
stiffer padding.
