MEOW-CHI’S SENSORS

Just like a real cat, Meow-Chi is very unpredictable. Activate one of his sensors to see what he will do! Meow-Chi has five sensors: a light sensor, sound sensor, and a touch sensor. He also has a magnetic sensor that allows him to play with his mouse play toy, which will be described in the Mouse Play Toy section, and an infrared sensor that enables Meow-Chi to play with other Robo-Chi™ Pets. This function is described in the Communicating with Other Meow-Chi’s and Robo-Chi Pets section of this guide.

			To activate the Light sensor:
			-	Wait until Meow-Chi stops moving.
			-	Slowly pass your hand in front of Meow-Chi’s
				forehead (3 holes above eyeplate)
			- When you move your hand away, Meow-Chi
