5. Cleaning the rollers

Sometimes excess developer paste from photos may build up on the Polaroid Lab’s rollers, affecting the Polaroid Lab’s performance and causing photos to show unwanted imperfections. The Polaroid Lab has a built-in roller cleaning mode to help with this issue. Just follow these steps:

and hold shutter button for >2 seconds

2. The app made an error noise at me

The app will detect if your phone has been placed on the Polaroid Lab correctly. The touch points on the phone platform allow the app to rotate and place the image directly above the lens of the Polaroid Lab. If the app can’t do this then it will let you know so you can place your phone in a better position. When you pick up your phone the app will guide you through the correct positioning with a short video.

3. The shutter button won’t work

The Rainbow logo LED will blink 3 times if the phone is recognized. If it keeps rapidly blinking, the Polaroid Lab can’t recognize the sensor area/brightness correctly. If it doesn’t blink at all, it means that it doesn’t recognize the phone on top. This can be because of a phone case or screen protector, which can impair the recognition of the phone. To rectify this, remove any phone case or screen protector. Gently push the phone on the Lab.User Manual
