We all know what a T. Rex is,

but what or who is D-Rex™?

Using advanced dino-robotics, we

recreated one of the greatest

predators of all time. But rather than

try and ﬁt a 40 ft. long, 7 ton dinosaur

into this box, we sized him down just

a bit so he can become your

very own prehistoric pet!

WHO IS D-REX™? A DINOSAUR AS A PET?

Yes, it's true. D-Rex™ will play with his

owner just like a real pet. He walks on

his own, has a lifelike "personality" and

makes over 100 sounds & movements.

But D-Rex

™

is no lapdog! After all, he

was created in the image of a

Cretaceous carnivore. The only way to

“tame” this reptilian robot is to spend

some quality time with him. Pet him, play

with him or feed him his bone and you'll

have a happy dino on your hands.

But leave him to his own predatory ways

and he may get hungry for more than

your attention!

ARE YOU HIS MASTER

... OR PREY?

WAYS TO PLAY

BECOME HIS MASTER

PET:

You can pet D-Rex™ on the head. He likes this and will show you with happy sounds and by wagging his tail.

D-Rex™ loves attention! Keep him happy by playing with him or learn how to change his behavior with the Bone Controller. But ignore him and he'll start getting angry, whining and begging for food while “hunting for his next prey!”

BONE CONTROLLER

ATTACK mode:

Use D-Rex™ to ferociously surprise your friends and family! First press this button to get D-Rex

™

ready for the attack. Then press again and he’ll launch forward, roaring and charging. Keep pressing to continue his ﬁerce attack.

GUARD mode: First, D-Rex

™

will turn his head and scan room giving you a few seconds to get away or sit down. Once he stops scanning, he is ready to protect. If anyone is moving in front of him, he will let out a roar. If there are no intruders, D-Rex

™

will turn his head to

re-scan the room every few minutes. D-Rex

™

will not react during scanning. If no intruders pass by for approximately 30 minutes, D-Rex

™

will get tired and take a dino-nap (see sleep instructions below to wake him up). GUARD mode will end only after you pet D-Rex

™

on the head (or he falls asleep).

FEED: He chews when he senses something in his mouth. If his mouth is closed, simply pull it open and place his bone or some other item inside. If D-Rex

™

is full, he will make a spitting sound and

stop chewing.

Page 6

SEEK mode:

D-Rex

™

will ﬁrst chirp to let you know he's listening. Whistle or call him and he will chirp again, then start walking toward you. Call him multiple times and he will come closer, allowing you to pet him. After awhile if he does not ﬁnd you, he may get tired and start panting. If you ignore him, he may whine and stop searching for you.

™

tricks!

QUESTION mode:

After you ask D-Rex

™

a question, press this button and he will answer by nodding “YES” or shaking his head “NO”.

PRANK mode: D-Rex

™

has a “sense of humor” too! If you feel like joking around, press this button and he will fart, burp, or play a snapping game with you! After D-Rex

™

burps or farts, make your own funny sound and he'll respond. If he opens his mouth, he’s daring you to put your hand inside. But be quick or he'll take a bite! Press button again to scroll to the next game.

“YES”

“NO”

Check the batteries if D-Rex™ is not functioning properly. If batteries are OK and he’s still not working correctly, try switching him "OFF", pausing 5 seconds and turning him back "ON".

LYING DOWN: If D-Rex

™

falls on his side, he will stop moving and call for your attention. If you don't pick him up, eventually he will take a dino nap or fall asleep.

• Watch his tail to study his mood. Fast wagging means he’s happy and playful. If he stops wagging his tail, you'd better feed him soon!

• D-Rex

™

is a restless dinosaur - he only listens when he's not moving. If you whistle or call him while he is still, he will turn his head and often give a response.

• D-Rex

™

does not like having his nose pressed. If you repeatedly touch his nose, he’ll back up and become increasingly more aggressive.

• Feeding and petting D-Rex

™

will keep him happy & playful!

• D-Rex

™

is a smart dinosaur, but if you give him too many commands too quickly, he will remember only the last one.

After you have learned all about D-Rex™, try his special TRICKS feature. You can program D-Rex

™

to remember a sequence of

up to 30 actions that he will perform on your command!

•SET-UP: Press the SEEK mode button, then quickly hold down

his bottom teeth while petting the back of his head. You will hear a triple chirp sound. After this sound, D-Rex

™

ready to memorize your plan.

•PROGRAM: Follow the inputs below to program D-Rex

™
