to read your brainwaves,
the console will say,
“Check headset sensors.”
If this happens during a
game, the game timer will
pause until the signal is
restored. Refer to
the TROUBLESHOOTING
section for tips on
connection problems.

To move the ball – and the fan nozzle – right or left around the console, turn the control knob.
Turning it clockwise will move the fan in a counter-clockwise direction, and turning it counterclockwise will move the fan in a clockwise direction.
Exercise #4: Concentrate until the ball is floating as high as you can get it. Turn the control knob
and move the ball all the way around the console, trying to keep the ball at the same height.
Exercise #5: Once you reach the end, relax your thoughts until the ball is floating as low as you
can get it. Now turn the control knob in the opposite direction and move the ball back the other
way, maintaining the low height of the ball.
Exercise #6: Press ENTER to end the game.
Turn control knob counter-clockwise
