Activity Guide

™

The Pretend & Play®Teaching Telephone™is great for teaching children
important telephone numbers and skills. This unique toy telephone has
program and record features to help you teach your child important telephone
numbers while he or she is having fun! Use the Teaching Telephone to help
your child learn about 911 emergency services, telephone manners (including
answering and speaking on the telephone), and even taking messages.

The Teaching Telephone is designed so parents can program in telephone
numbers and record messages for young children. Older children can
program and record messages on their own.

The Teaching Telephone comes with 3 "AA" batteries. Before you begin,
make sure the batteries are working or replace them. See page 8 for more
information. To save batteries, the telephone will automatically shut itself
off if it is left idle for 60 seconds (you will hear a beep several seconds
before it shuts off).

Using the Teaching Telephone

™

Familiarize your child with the Teaching Telephone by reviewing the parts
of the telephone (see diagram below). The Teaching Telephone works like
a real telephone in that you must first take the receiver off the hook before
you "make a call." The receiver must be OFF the hook for the telephone
functions to work.

Be sure to explain to your child that the Teaching Telephone is used only
for play and practice. Make sure your child understands that in a real
emergency, he or she must use a real telephone to call for help.

Program and Record Features

You can program in a telephone number (up to 11 digits) that you want
your child to learn. Then you can record a message. When your child dials
the programmed number correctly, he or she will hear your message! You
can change the programmed number and record a new message again and
again. Note: If you change the programmed telephone number, it will not

“clear” the message you recorded. So, you can either leave the old
message, or record a new one.

You may want to start by having your child practice your home telephone
number. Then help your child learn other numbers, such as Mom or Dad's
work, Grandma, a neighbor, and so on.

Programming a Telephone Number

• Press On button (light indicates power is on).

• Take the receiver off the hook and set it aside (you will hear a

dial tone).

button down until you have programmed in the telephone number).

Recording a Message

• Press On button (light indicates power is on).

• Take the receiver off the hook (you will hear a dial tone).

• Press and HOLD Record button AND Program button at the same
time (continue holding both buttons while you are recording).

• Second beep tones indicate end of recording time.

• Release both buttons (Record and Program buttons).
