TROUBLE SHOOTING

1) If you ﬁnd that CruncherTM doesn’t have the strength to rear up or he sounds strange, that means it is time to feed him fresh batteries, so go get some!

2) If Cruncher

begins to act erratically, you may need to reset his electronics. Slide the power switch OFF and then back ON.

Keep these instructions for future reference as they contain important information.

Requires 5 ‘C’ alkaline batteries (not included).

CAUTION: To prevent entanglement, keep hair away from wheels.

Like all pets, CruncherTM craves attention.

So spend time together whenever you can.

For starters, pet him a lot and get on his

good side. Play catch with him and don’t

forget to feed him his favorite dish – ﬁsh!

When you know him better, team up to play

pranks on family and friends – it’s always

fun to see people run away from him.

Cruncher

also dances, performs tricks,

and believe it or not, he can even speak!

Never leave Cruncher

alone for too long

though. He might return to his predatory

ways, and you might end up becoming

prehistoric pet food!

Thanks for giving CruncherTM

a home, but beware!

ARE YOU THE MASTER

. . . OR PREY?

WAYS TO PLAY

CRUNCHER

PET:

He might look mean, but if you pet him, he will be making happy sounds in no time. The more you pet him, the happier he gets!

Switch Cruncher

ON and stand aside. See what kind of mischief he will get into when he is left to fend for himself!

COMMAND COLLAR

Each Collar Button has two modes.

To play in the ﬁrst mode, simply PRESS AND RELEASE. Then listen up for the single beep which means you’re ready to go.

To enter the second mode, PRESS AND HOLD the Collar Button until you hear a double beep.

To exit Train Mode, PRESS AND RELEASE Collar Button 3. Then watch Cruncher

perform his tricks.

To exit Speak Mode, PRESS AND RELEASE Collar Button 4 and the light on the collar will go out.

To exit all other play modes, simply pet CruncherTM on the head.

FEED:

CruncherTM loves his ﬁsh, but he will "eat" almost anything. Open his mouth, put something inside and he will crunch it up. Or make him sit up and beg by pressing his chin.

Never feed him dirt or drinks - he will fall ill and stop playing with you.

FART: After all that "eating," he’s bound to build up some gas, so help him out! Lift up his tail for a second and let it rip. Do it a few times – he’s got plenty of gas to pass!

ATTACK MODE (PRESS & RELEASE)

CruncherTM is fast and will give any mailman

a run for his money! Just press Collar Button 1, then he will roar, rear up and charge forward in a fast and furious attack.

GUARD MODE (PRESS & HOLD)

He might be pint-sized but he packs quite a fright! Put Cruncher

down on all fours, set him in Guard Mode, and he will rear up ready for action. Now whenever people pass in front of him, he will growl and attack.

CATCH MODE (PRESS & RELEASE)

To play, just press Collar Button 2 and he

will back up, rear up and open his mouth. If you toss something inside before he snaps shut, he will laugh and bring it back to play again.

SEEK MODE (PRESS & HOLD)

Whistle, clap your hands or shout his name

and he will seek you out by following the sound. Try hiding, and after making a racket, see if he can hunt you down!

DANCE MODE (PRESS & RELEASE)

You might not believe it, but Cruncher

is a

great dancer! Pump up the volume, press Collar Button 3, and he will move non-stop to the music. Or clap your hands and he will dance to that too.

TRAIN MODE (PRESS & HOLD)

Train CruncherTM to remember and perform

up to 30 tricks! To start, PRESS AND HOLD

Collar Button 3.

STEP 1 - HE LEARNS

After he gets down on all fours, you will hear, "Let's do some tricks." Then use the following table to train Cruncher

one trick at a time.

STEP 2 - HE REMEMBERS

Each time he's learned a trick, he will make a chime sound to let you know. For example: If you want to train CruncherTM to move backward, just press his chin. Then you will see him move backward and hear a chime sound, which means he understands. When you're done training, press Collar Button 3 again to see him perform.

STEP 3 - HE PERFORMS

Each time you give Cruncher

a verbal command or make a noise, you will trigger him to perform a trick. When he's ﬁnished, you will hear, "You're the best, Master."

To exit Train Mode, PRESS AND RELEASE Collar Button 3 at anytime. Cruncher

remembers his trick sequence until he is turned OFF. To play through it again, PRESS AND HOLD Collar Button 3 and he will say, "Nice, let's try that again!"

NOTE: To exit Train Mode, PRESS AND RELEASE Collar Button 3.

Training

Push him forward. Tilt him up. Tilt him down. Pull open Cruncher's mouth. Lift up Cruncher's tail. Push Cruncher’s chin. Press Collar Button 1. Press Cruncher's head repeatedly.

SPEAK MODE (PRESS & RELEASE)

Cruncher’s collar is very special! It

translates his sounds into words and phrases you understand. A light and a single beep lets you know he is in Speak Mode, and if you try his other play modes now, you might be surprised by what you hear. When you want him to stop talking, press Collar Button 4 again and the light will turn oﬀ.

SLEEP MODE

Leave CruncherTM alone for too long and he will fall asleep. To wake him up, just pet him on the head or switch him OFF and then ON again.

LYING DOWN

If CruncherTM trips and lands on his side, he will

scream and yell for your attention. But don’t worry, he’ll just fall asleep if you’re not around to help him up.

Q & A

MODE

(PRESS & HOLD)

Ask CruncherTM a question, then PRESS

AND HOLD Collar Button 4 and before you let go, he will either nod his head “Yes” or shake his head “No.”

1) Pet him, feed him, don’t ever neglect him and you’ll

have one happy Prehistoric Pet on your hands!

modes. You might be surprised by what you hear!

3) To exit any mode EXCEPT Train and Speak mode, pet

Cruncher

on the head.

4) To take Cruncher

out of Speak Mode, PRESS AND

RELEASE Collar Button 4 and the light will turn oﬀ.

To exit Train Mode at anytime, PRESS AND RELEASE

Collar Button 3. Then watch Cruncher

perform his

tricks.

6) If CruncherTM proves to be trouble and you want to

show him who the Master is, just pick him up by the

tail and he will cry like a baby.

7) Cruncher

moves best on smooth, ﬂat surfaces. He

will not run on deep carpets, and stay away from dirt

and other uneven surfaces - he doesn't like them!

CruncherTM has a secret fear of heights, so don’t play

with him on table tops

keep him on the ground.

9) CruncherTM can’t swim. In fact he sinks like a brick.

So keep him away from water!

10) Do not let

CruncherTM go outdoors - it might be the

last time you see him!
