for both your dinosaur and the opponent dinosaur.
But when the fight starts in WATCH MODE, you don’t do the actual fighting.

Instead, you sit back and watch the dinosaurs compete automatically!
That’s really cool, too!

Reset Operations:

By pressing the reset button, you can delete
all the data previously entered. A screen
will ask you, DATA FOUND! KEEP RECORD?
Y/N. By pressing Y (yes) all data will be
deleted. By pressing N (no), you will return
to the initial screen.

Be sure to press the reset button before you
use DINO DEX for the first time.

Replacing Batteries:

This DINO DEX is powered by two button-cell batteries
type LR44 and four AAA batteries. The four AAA batteries
are the main batteries and the two LR44 batteries are the
back-up batteries. The main batteries provide power for
normal operations. The back-up batteries protect data
stored in memory when changing the main batteries.

CAUTION : Batteries should be replaced by an adult.
Not suitable for children under 36 months, may contain small parts.
If the LCD display becomes dim, this means you should turn off the DINO DEX and

replace the main batteries. Your DINO DEX is protected by the back-up batteries
during main battery replacement.

Memory contents are lost when the back-up batteries are removed or need to be
replaced. Be sure to always leave the back-up batteries in place to protect
memory contents when you are changing the main batteries. However, when you
remove the main batteries at any time, memory retention will depend entirely on
the condition of the back-up batteries in place. If back-up batteries are not in
place, memory contents are likely to be damaged. If memory seems corrupted,
clear it using the reset.

Normally the back-up batteries can support over 180 days of operation, even
when no main batteries have been installed. However, in order to guarantee your
data is stored, never leave the unit without main batteries for a whole day.
Otherwise, you could lose your data. For regular maintenance, please exchange
the back-up batteries once a year.

Important:

Incorrect use of batteries can cause them to burst or leak, possibly damaging the
interior of the DINO DEX. Note the following precautions:

Never leave dead batteries in the battery compartment.
To avoid damage to the unit from leaky batteries, replace both the main battery and

the back-up battery every three years. Batteries should be replaced no matter how
much you use the diary during that time.

Warning:

Never try to recharge the batteries supplied with DINO DEX.
Do not expose batteries to direct heat.
Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If swallowed, consult a physician

immediately.

To Replace The Main Battery:

1. Switch power off, loose the screws that holds the battery compartment cover
in place, then remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert a thin, pointed, non-metallic object into small hole and remove the old
battery.

Warning:

DO NOT CLOSE THE BATTERY DOOR ONCE YOU REMOVE THE MAIN BATTERY. YOU
MUST REPLACE MAIN BATTERY BEFORE CLOSING BATTERY COMPARTMENT OR
ALL FILES WILL BE DELETED!

3. Wipe the surfaces of a new battery with a soft, dry cloth. Insert the new battery
into the DINO DEX, making sure to align "+" and "-" as shown.

4. Replace the battery compartment cover and the screws that secure it in place.

To Replace the Back-Up Battery:

1. Be sure always to leave main battery in place to protect memory contents before
you replace back-up battery.

2. Loose the screw that holds the back-up battery cover in place.
Remove the cover, then remove the old battery with a thin pointed, non-metallic
object.

3. Wipe the surfaces of a new battery with a soft, dry cloth. Insert the new battery
into the DINO DEX, making sure that its positive (+) side is facing up (so that you
can see it).

4. Replace the battery compartment cover and the screws that secure it in place.
