Claps that are too soft or too quick will be rejected by the Clapper, causing the light to go out. If your claps continue to be dismissed as noise, the Clapper will automatically lessen its sound sensitivity. You only need to applaud louder in certain circumstances. For example, if there is not enough room for everyone at the table to sit down simultaneously, then people should start clapping as they enter a room and stop once all the seats are filled. The best way to learn how to use the Clapper is by trying it out. There are several activities that you can do with friends to see who can make the most noise with their hands while still being accepted by the device. In addition to being fun, learning how to use the Clapper can also help you understand what types of movements are necessary to make a sound. For example, if you are trying to get someone's attention but cannot physically reach them, then you might have to make some noise with objects that are near you such as a spoon or bottle. Finally, knowing how to use the Clapper could possibly help you in an emergency situation where silence is needed but acceptance is difficult to achieve. For example, if you were in a library and wanted everyone in the room to know that something important was happening, then you could use the Clapper as a form of silent communication.
