Won't work

Look for the song cartridge pictured on your box, or "Accepts plug-in music modules" on the lid. Not sure? Send us a photo of your bells through eBay messages before you buy.
Before you buy- Will it work with my bells?Only if your set takes a removable song cartridge. See "Check your bells first" above.
- What do I need?Your own bells and a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
- Will it change my bells permanently?No. It slides in where your old cartridge goes, with no modifications. Keep your old cartridge, and you can swap it back any time.
- Will I need a different power adapter?Yes. Merrymaker needs a 1 A supply, more than the bells' original adapter provides, so use the power adapter included with it.

- What's in the box?One Merrymaker module and one 1 A power adapter. Bells not included.
