#### A quick guide to using the Yoto Player nightlight

  

If you turn Yoto Player onto its front - and be careful only to do this on a friendly surface like a bedside table, not the floor! - this will turn on the nightlight. To turn the nightlight off, just stand your player upright again.

**How to adjust the brightness of the nightlight**

When the Yoto Player is in nightlight mode - as in turned on its face - you can adjust the brightness by turning the right hand orange button. You can turn the brightness all the way down to off.

  

**How to change the color of the nightlight**

To change the color of the nightlight. Go to the Settings tab in the app and tap the arrow icon next to your player.

In the Settings area for your player, you will be able to set colors for the nightlight in Day and Night mode - handy for letting the little ones know whether it's time to get up when they can't see the clock on the display.

  

Note: the room temperature sensor of the Yoto Player (3rd Generation) will not work while the Player is in nightlight mode.
