Set Up
Petal-Chi will play best on a smooth, flat surface. Make certain the area is
clear of obstacles so Petal-Chi can dance and sing. Petal-Chi should always
be played with indoors.
Movement
Leaves – move side to side
Head – moves up and down
Body – sways left to right
Watering
Feeding Petal-Chi is an important step in its
development. To feed Petal-Chi place the special
watering can over the “water me here” label on the
soil. Petal-Chi can die from lack of water or too
much. Please see below for watering tips:
• 5 water sounds + 1 burp = needs more water
• 3 water sounds + 1 burp = perfect amount
of water
• 1 water sound + 1 burp = too much water
- Do not attempt to open the watering can.
- Avoid placing the watering can close to any magnetic-sensitive object like
a cassette tape, video tape, magnetic disk, credit, etc.
Wither
If you do not take good care of your Petal-Chi it will wither. The funeral song
will start to play and Petal-Chi’s face will go blank, the petals will wither and
it goes back to the first stage again. At this point
you will have to start all over again with Petal-Chi.
Talking to Petal-Chi
Petal-Chi reacts to sound, so talking to your
Petal-Chi or playing music for it is very important.

Stages
The more attention Petal-Chi receives the faster it will move through the 3
stages of development.
Stage 1 – Limited basic actions. In this stage the petals are closed because
Petal-Chi is very young and has to grow. Petal-Chi does not sing in this stage.
It only makes Pi, Po and Pa sounds. ***Very Important – it takes 15 minutes
to move to Stage2. To make Petal-Chi grow faster in this stage water it more,
talk to it a lot and play music for it. This will make Petal-Chi grow up A LOT
faster! In this stage Petal-Chi cannot wither from too much water, so you
can feed it as much as you want.
Stage 2 – Basic actions, Petal-Chi starts to sing short songs, its face gets
more expressions and its petals open up. This is a very important stage –
The way you take care of Petal-Chi in this stage determines the character it
will be in stage 3. If Petal-Chi is left alone for more than 3 minutes it will go
to sleep. Please refer to sleeping section for details. ***Please note – in this
stage Petal-Chi will wither with too much water.
Stage 3 – Basic actions and events (character development is an event). In
this stage Petal-Chi becomes one of four characters. If you have taken very
good care of Petal-Chi it will switch into another character after the first one.
Characters
For each character, Petal-Chi will play 10 different songs (40 songs total) in
different genres of music ranging from nursery rhymes to rock and roll!
The only way to get to the next character is to water and play with Petal-Chi.
Don’t water it too much or Petal-Chi will wither.
1. Adorable Baby 2. Young Lady 3. Teenage Rocker 4. Awkward Chap
Interaction
Besides having fun with you, Petal-Chi likes to hang out with other Petal-Chi
friends! Place two or more Petal-Chi’s next to each other and watch them
sing and dance together! Petal-Chi flowers react to sound, so if one singing
Petal-Chi is placed next to another quiet Petal-Chi, then the quiet Petal-Chi
will start to sing and dance as well. (The quiet Petal-Chi must be “On” for the
sound activation to work).
Attention
Petal-Chi will make certain noises to clue you in on what it needs. Petal-Chi
will make a beep sound to indicate that it has received your attention. Please
refer to the following for hints:
Water running sound = needs water. Once you give it to Petal-Chi it will sing
and dance. You have to be fast!!! If you wait too long to give Petal-Chi water,
the buzzer sounds and that means you have just lost points in the game.
Beep, Beep, Beep = needs you to talk to it. Once you start talking to
Petal-Chi its petals and leaves start moving.
***Please note: Petal-Chi will react differently after receiving just water, just
sound and a combination of the two. Try all three combinations to see
how Petal-Chi will react!
Sleeping
If you do not pay attention to Petal-Chi it will fall asleep. Petal-Chi will make
a wah wah sound to indicate that it is yawning and about to fall asleep. To
wake Petal-Chi up, give it water.
Turning Petal-Chi On
Please note that there is no on/off switch for Petal-Chi. Once the batteries
are in, Petal-Chi comes to life. ***Please note that if the batteries are removed
or when the reset button is pressed (see ‘Reset’ section for details) all data
for Petal-Chi will be erased and it will go back to the beginning stage of play.
Reset
Press the reset button only if Petal-Chi’s movements seem
to be malfunctioning. Take a ball-point pen or a paper
clip and insert it into the reset button hole located on
the soil of the pot. Do not press the Reset button with
any sharp instrument. Once the reset button is pressed,
Petal-Chi goes back to the beginning stage.
