4.0 out of 5 stars volume too low, April 18, 2003

By	M. Dangremond "momuvtwo" (Troy, MI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

I bought this toy for my 10 month old. We played with it in the store and she really enjoyed it. The way the eyes open when you flip the phone open, the picture of Elmo and Dorothy, etc. are all very cute. My one complaint is that after removing the "volume control" tab from the back of the phone, the volume plummeted. Now, I am a mom that absolutely hates loud kiddie toys. Most electronic children's toys are too loud, in my opinion. But this phone is not even at a nice, quiet level. The volume is just way too low. There is a note in the instructions that states that the volume is supposed to be lowered after the tab is removed, and that the phone is not defective when this happens. We took the toy to the grocery store and could barely hear it at all. My niece has this same toy and the volume is the same as ours. It would have been better if FP put a manual volume control on the toy instead. Bottom line: although fun, the toy must be played with in a very quiet room in order to be heard.

2.0 out of 5 stars HOW TO FIX THE VOLUME PROBLEM YOURSELF, April 19, 2005

By	Mrs. Fix It (Texas) - See all my reviews

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This is so easy anyone can do it. My husband travels quite a bit, and since I can't stand to have things just laying around broken, and I for sure won't throw anything away, I've been left to figure out how to fix things on my own. If I can do it so can you! I decided to figure out what was up with this Elmo phone once and for all. After taking it apart I found that there are two metal tabs inside the slit( in the back of the phone where you had to remove the plastic tab when you took it out of the box) and when they touch the volume of the phone is lowered. When they don't touch the phone goes back to the regular audible volume. To FIX IT : The easy option A, which doesn't require you to take anything apart, is to take the piece of plastic from the original box (the one that you had to pull out in the first place to lower the volume "for the children's safety" and to cut it so that it fits into the slit without sticking out so the kids can't pull on it. Option B is to remove 6 screws (1.upper left hand corner under antenna, 2. upper right hand corner next to slit, 3.screw holding the battery cover on, remove batteries you will find 4 and 5 there. Set all of these aside. Look on the inside of the back cover where the slit comes through You'll two small pieces of metal, the top piece screwed on with a white wire coming out. This is the last screw to be removed and #6. Remove and discard. Clip the white wire where it it saudered/ connected and you can throw away the little metal piece. It is NOT needed for the toy to operate in anyway, it was only used to lower the volume. Once you've done this you can replace the lid put the screws and batteries back in and you'll have a working and AUDIBLE Elmo Phone!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Volume definitely too low!, May 22, 2003

By A Customer

Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

I bought this toy for my daughter who recently turned two and absolutely loves Elmo. As soon as we took the phone out of the box it removed a plastic strip from the back of the phone which causes the volume to decrease so much that you can barely hear it! While this was a huge disappointment for me my daughter on the other hand could've cared less which I guess is what is most important. Also when we received the phone, numbers 7, 8 and 9 were not working and we had to send it back for a replacement. I agree with the previous review saying that there should be a manual volume control. I'm all for safe levels but this one is so low it's almost ridiculous! I had my husband, who is a real electronics guru, pop open the back and he made it so the volume is what it was while it was in the package! My daughter is thrilled even more so with the phone now!
