Thank you for your question. There are 3 buttons on the shell of the elephant: Nightlight Display, Lullabies, and Volume.

The three buttons that control the colors, sound and volume are all located in a row right above the elephants tail. Your children will be able to change the colors but it is possible for them to hit the sound and turn the music on as well. The volume has three settings and to me goes quite loud.

I am having the same problem. After pushing the sensitivity button, I can hear out of the baby's room, then the unit mutes after a few seconds. Not quite sure if this is a battery saving feature...I always have mine plugged in next to my bed! It does go on when there is noise in the baby's room. I thought perhaps there was a reset button on the parent unit. Perhaps changing the battery will help. I guess it's time to refer to the owners manual. :-)

It has three buttons on the top for the lights and sounds that they can use. It also has buttons that are covered next to the battery compartment for parents use. I have bought one for each of my three grandchildren, the oldest is three and has enjoyed it every night from about 6months on. I highly recommend this product.

There is on/off sound button. I think his parents and your nephew will love this toy like us :)

It says it has sound effects and I can see the button on top of the first train so I think this is a battery powered train option also. Any thoughts on this??? We have another one I am trying to replace.

I've never used this feature, but to answer you question my husband turned on the music. Apparently each of the 5 songs plays for about 30 seconds and then plays again,and again, and again for approximately 20 minutes. You select which song you want to play. I hope this answers your question. The monitor is really a sanity saver because it lets me do some things while the baby sleeps. One more thing, don't expect to see anything on the screen in bright sunshine. It is completely washed out in that kind of light, but well worth having outside because you can hear the baby when he wakes up. I wouldn't be without it.

Sort of. You can turn the volume off and the unit will blink when it picks up noise, but it will not turn the volume up. Of course, this will not wake you up should you be sleeping. The best solution is to just to keep the volume on. At worst, there's some white noise in the background, but you will hear every sound the child makes.

That's a great question! I don't know! In fact, mine stopped playing all together yesterday! He's not even a year old! And I push the button and keep him where the kids with him, so it's not bc they're rough with him. Our first one was from a consignment sale and did the same thing, but I assumed it was bc the people before were rough on him. Now we have two Elmo's that don't work.

No it cant. It is only affected by sound. If the baby does not make any sound it will not show any image on Sleep mode. You can turn the sound off and keep the image on forever (turn off the "sleep" mode). But it doesnt have the feature to turn on only when a motion happens in front of it.

I had no problem with sounds..The number/letter buttons are on the other hand quite tiny and if the light is low, have hard time to find the right ones.

The buttons do not make any noise. I don't think there's a setting, it's just silent by default. It only makes noise for the alarm if you turn it on.

My son doesn't have a problem with the buttons. You do have to press the on/off button a little harder. My other child has a different case and his is much harder to use buttons. As far as touch screen, no issues at all.

Technically yes, mine actually won't turn off if it's in the case even if I'm depressing the button (I don't know what the technical cause is behind this) - so I have to slide it out of the case to turn it off. Additionally, the material is not rigid, so it does cover the buttons sometime. I can access the volume button though. I actually recently ended up getting a new case. This one was really cool, but the inconvenience became a little too annoying for me.

The on/off button is on the back. However; if you use the sound/pitch button and click it twice, the first click is on and the second click is off. It is all common sense.

Greetings Anica, The song forward and back buttons also act as volume up and down functions. Simply hold the song forward button down for a few seconds and the volume should go up. Please let us know if you have any additional questions and enjoy your ShowerSong! Sincerely, Get Happy Giving

It has three buttons on one side which plays music n tones when child hits the button. And blinks with colors too. My child loves the dancing lights with music when he hits these buttons

My son used his until he was 11 months old. He loved it!!! He watched it every night to fall asleep and loved pushing the button, other than pushing the one big button to start and stop the noise and motion there is not much interaction.
