Important Note: The treads on R2-D2’s steering legs can navigate floors and most carpeting.

However, we strongly recommend you use R2-D2 indoors only. Never use R2-D2 near stairs, unless the stairs are protected. R2-D2 is unable to detect or navigate stairs and may fall down stairs and

become damaged if not protected. Use on tabletops only in the wheel-lock setting. R2-D2 may fall from table and become damaged if wheels are not locked. You can keep R2 out of trouble by placing simple barriers in his path like sheets of cardboard. As long as it is something solid and is as tall or taller than R2, his sonar will usually detect it.

Congratulations!

You are a proud owner of R2-D2, an R2-series astromech utility droid from Industrial Automaton, the galaxy’s finest maker of service automatons, and distributed here on Earth by Hasbro. This droid is ready to obey certain commands, play games, and assist you on your Jedi missions.

This particular R2 unit comes from the peaceful world of Naboo, where he and a team of astromechs served Queen Amidala aboard her Royal Starship. R2-D2 has seen and taken part in many amazing adventures. He fought valiantly alongside both Anakin and Luke Skywalker, aided the Old Republic during the clone wars, and was instrumental to the Rebellion against the Empire during the Galactic Civil War.

R2-D2 (or, alternately, Artoo Detoo) has been newly programmed at our state-of-the-art factory to be your devoted helper and friend: to obey your commands, to act as your room sentry and guard, and to play fun games with you and your friends!

R2’s vocabulary of electronic beeps and whistles doesn’t stop this droid from trying to communicate with human masters; he understands certain commands, and usually manages to get his points across, too! To get started, simply follow the instructions of this manual. Please be aware that R2 is an especially feisty astromech; when not treated well, he will let you know about it! But if you treat R2-D2 with the same loyalty and dedication that he will give to you, this little droid may help you to

follow in the footsteps of the illustrious Jedi masters!

CAUTION: TO AVOID BATTERY LEAKAGE

1) Be sure to insert the batteries correctly and always follow the toy and battery manufacturers' instructions;

3) Always remove weak or dead batteries from the product.

You can also program and store a series of commands and ask R2 to execute the series all at once. To do this, say "Hey, R2!", then "Command Mode!", then "Plot course!" Give R2 several commands as described above, i.e. each command consisting of a direction and a distance. Once you’ve completed a series, say "Execute course!" and R2-D2 will do just that! Remember to wait for R2’s acknowledging beep after each command before giving him another command.

If you reach the maximum number of commands that R2’s memory banks can hold (about twenty), R2 will launch into the series immediately. Any time you want to erase a command series, simply say "Plot course" then say "Delete course!" R2 will remain in Command Mode, but will delete the stored series. (It is not possible to delete just one command in a series, only the entire course.) Also, if you turn R2 off manually, he will wipe the course from his memory.

Remember, at any time, you can say "Re-set system!" to bring R2 back to his Companion Mode. This will not delete the stored course.

The many levels of R2-D2’s programming will ensure lots of fun and discovery with this loyal, lovable, multi-talented droid. Have fun!

1.) Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two

captive screws that secure the battery door in back, and remove the door.

2.) Open the compartment door. Insert four

"AA" batteries into the compartment. Close the compartment door, then insert four "D" batteries on top as shown. (Re-chargeable batteries, such as NiCd or NiMH, will work well for the "D" cells, but are not necessary for the "AA" batteries.)

3.) Replace the battery door, and securely

fasten the screws.
