Hello Barbie™ may occasionally encounter issues sending and receiving conversations. The issues may be based on signal strength, roaming, or Internet congestion. Usually the issues are brief and Hello Barbie™ will resume operation quickly. This can also occur when Hello Barbie™ has been in connection mode for along time or has timed out after a long period of inactivity. Turning Hello Barbie™ off and on again will enable the doll to resume normal activity.
This may also happen if Hello Barbie™ loses its WiFi connection. Please take the following steps:
- Close the Companion App
- Go to your devise's WiFi settings
- Reconnect to your WiFi network
In addition, you may get this message if Hello Barbie's batteries are low. If this is the case, please place Hello Barbie™ back on her charger.

For best results, make sure doll parts are clean and dry before installing in Monster Maker. If your design did not print completely, erase ink using the provided sponge. Add water and a little dish soap (not included) and rub with the sponge until the ink is removed. Dry the doll part thoroughly before putting it back in the Monster Maker.

If this occurs during the Hello Barbie™ setup process, the WiFi SSID name or the WiFi password was possibly entered incorrectly. Select the "Manage WiFi" option to add the correct SSID name and password.
If the issue occurs during conversations and/or Hello Barbie's lights are flashing yellow you may need to move the doll closer to the WiFi router/modem. Hello Barbie's lights will flash yellow if the WiFi signal is getting weaker.
|
If this occurs during the Hello Barbie™ setup process, make sure the doll is properly charged. Hello Barbie™ should remain in the charging station and connected to power during the setup.
When putting Hello Barbie™ into connection mode, make sure you see white flashing lights (they may also look light blue) If the lights flash (royal) blue, Hello Barbie™ has been reset and will automatically say "My batteries need to recharge. Please connect me to the charging station." Connect Hello Barbie™ to the charger and continue putting her into connection mode.
If this occurs during conversations or red lights appear, connect Hello Barbie™ to her charger, make sure that the charging cable is firmly connected to the doll, and that the orange charging indicator is illuminated.
