Happy

THE BOT-STER S BIORHYTHM

The graphs shown below represent the 8 biorhythm levels of The Bot-Ster. Each level lasts about 30 minutes and determines his feelings and behavior. For example, when he is in level 1 he will be unhappy or mad most of the time, and will probably show you his mad face a lot. In level 8, he will be happy almost all of the time.

Remember: If The Bot-Ster is mad, you can make him happy again by playing with him. Don’t forget, he has three different sensors that need attention! (Refer to the SENSOR section.)

Level 1: The Bot-Ster is very mad and needs lots of care and affection.

Level 2: The Bot-Ster is still mad, maybe giving him a burst from his energy cell will help!

Level 3: Remember to watch face and head to determine how he is feeling.

Level 4: (Home position): starts at this level when reset.

Level 5: He hears when you clap or say “Hey Dude!”

Level 6: Getting happier, The Bot-Ster loves attention!

Level 7: The Bot-Ster is very happy. He might even sing you a special song!

Level 8: Congratulations on being such a great friend!

When he is feeling a little low on energy, or asks to be fed, you can give him a boost by pushing the ENERGY button located on his back. See the diagram for the location of the button. When he is fully recharged and full, he will let you know.

- The battery toy that comes with The Bot-Ster is NOT a real battery, nor does it require batteries.

LISTEN TO A SONG

After each song is finished, The Bot-Ster will return to normal mode. To hear another song, begin with step 1 above.

SLEEPING

The Bot-Ster needs his sleep. He will fall asleep when it is dark or when no one is playing with him. When The Bot-Ster gets tired, he will tell you. He will begin to make a snoring sound right before he falls asleep.

Sometimes it takes The Bot-Ster a long time to fall asleep. First, he will try to get your attention. If he doesn’t get your attention after 3 minutes, he will power down and snore. Then if he still doesn’t get your attention after the snoring, he will fall into a deep sleep.

To wake up The Bot-Ster when he is in a deep sleep, press his head button. If he was mad when he fell asleep, it may take him a little while to completely wake up so you may need to press his head button more than once. If he was happy when he fell asleep, he will quickly wake up.

RESET

Press the RESET button only if The Bot-Ster’s movements seem to be malfunctioning.

The RESET button is located near the battery compartment on the bottom of the product. Press the RESET button once with a ball-point pen. Do not press the RESET button with any sharp instrument.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The Bot-Ster is designed to provide hours of fun play. If The Bot-Ster becomes erratic and you are having trouble, check to make certain that The Bot-Ster has fresh batteries and then call Tiger Electronics’ Customer Service Department at 1-800-844-3733.

If you can’t see The Bot-Ster’s eyes, he may be asleep (see section titled “SLEEPING”) or check to make certain there are fresh batteries.

You can wake up The Bot-Ster by pressing the head sensor. If The Bot-Ster was sad when he fell asleep, it may take multiple head presses to wake up The Bot-Ster. If The Bot-Ster was happy when he fell asleep, it will be easier to wake up The Bot-Ster.
