my instructions so you

Use of the ON/OFF Switch:
The OFF Switch should only be used if you plan NOT to play with Allysen
for several months. Turning Allysen off with the ON/OFF switch stops
her internal clock. If she is turned off longer than 5 minutes, her clock
will become incorrect. Should this happen, you can reset any of
Allysen’s settings at any time by squeezing both hands
simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds.
Please make sure the latch is in the LOCK position or Allysen
will turn off. If the latch is in the UNLOCK position for longer
than 5 minutes, her clock will need to be reset.
SENSORS: Allysen has 8 places where she can feel and sense things!

in minutes by using 5 minute increments.
Decide the closest number the minute hand on
your home clock is pointing to and squeeze
her left hand until she says the number of minutes
closest to the actual time.
Once you’ve completed entering in the correct time,
Allysen will ask you to confirm if it is morning,
afternoon or night.
Once prompted, simply answer by saying either ‘morning’,‘afternoon’, or ‘night’.
Once you’ve completed entering in the correct time, Allysen will ask you to confirm if it is

you should input 1 for the hour and 40 for the minutes, and answer “afternoon”.
Setting the Year, Month and Date
Allysen will prompt you to input the correct year, month and date. Once prompted by
Allysen, simply squeeze her left hand to select the current year, month, and date.
When squeezing Allysen’s left hand, make sure to continually squeeze her hand until she

select the month and date of your birthday. Once you do this, she’ll remember and wish you
happy birthday on your special day. She will also remind you from time to time how far off
your birthday is.

Allysen will ask you to choose a nickname for her to call you. She will ask ‘Would you like me
to call you: Girlfriend, Jelly Bean, Best Friend, Girlie, Pickles or Sweetie?’ Please answer with
the nickname you like best from the choices listed and Allysen will remember your selected
nickname.
Changing Nickname, Time, Date, Year & Birthdate
If you want to change the nickname Allysen calls you or the time, date, year or birthdate, just
squeeze both of Allysen’s hands simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds.
Allysen Will Teach You How To Play With Her
Once you’ve completed the Start-Up Routine, Allysen will ask you if you would like her to
show you how to play with her. Answer ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’ If you answer ‘Yes,’ Allysen will take you
through a tutorial that teaches you how to play with her. If you answer ‘No’ she will go
directly into the Play Routine.
Allysen loves to chat with her friends on her cell phone, try new smoothie flavors, have her
hair brushed, try different hair accessories & styles, read her magazine, and try on clothes
and shoes. Here is what you and Allysen can do together:
Brush Allysen’s Hair
Allysen can recognize when her hair is being brushed. Just make
sure to touch the brush to the top of her scalp so she’s sure to
recognize it. Please brush Allysen’s hair gently.
Try on Hair Accessories
Allysen can recognize her hair barrettes and
headband when they are placed in her hair.
Just make sure they are securely in her hair
and close to her scalp, don’t place the
barrettes below her ears or at the ends of her
hair or she may not recognize them.
Outfit & Shoes
Allysen can recognize when she’s wearing her cool jeans, her cute purple top, and tennies.
Make sure to securely place the snaps in the plugs so that Allysen can recognize her clothing
and shoes. If Allysen still asks you to put on her clothing or shoes, this means that the snap
is not securely placed in the plug.
Accessories
Allysen loves to chat on her cell phone, try new smoothie flavors, read her magazine and
have her hair brushed. Remember that all of Allysen’s accessories need to be placed in her
right hand. If you look closely, you will see a small square indentation
on her accessories where her right thumb fits. Simply slide the
accessory into Allysen’s right hand so that her thumb fits in the
square inddentation and her other four fingers are
securely nested in the larger indentation
on the other side of the accessory.
If Allysen doesn’t recognize her
accessory, please check to make sure
it is securely placed in her hand with all
her fingers in the correct position.
WORD RECOGNITION
There are special words or phrases that Allysen can hear – and she has to listen for them
one at a time. Please listen carefully to her questions, so you know which words she’s
listening for.
TIP: Simple answers work best! Listen for the simple words to reply to her questions.
REMEMBER!
After Allysen asks, "What do you want to do?" she will be listening for one of these 8 special
phrases from YOU:
• “Play a game.”
• “Read the magazine.”
• “Call a friend.”
• “Have a smoothie.”
• “Try hairstyles.”
• “Let’s chat.”
• “Take a break.”
• “Allysen.”
NOTE: It is best to memorize these 8 key phrases. Always wait for Allysen to say
"What do you want to do?" before you say one of the 8 special phrases. If Allysen doesn’t say,
"What do you want to do?" then she will NOT be listening for these 8 important phrases.
What do you
want to do?
Call a friend.

RESET:
If Allysen is having problems, like repeating herself or not responding, reset her system by
turning her OFF for 15 seconds, then turning her ON again.
To clear her memory of all settings like the time and date,
insert the end of a bent paper clip into the hole
on her back to trigger the RESET BUTTON.
While holding down the RESET BUTTON,
turn her OFF, then ON again. (Note: This is
a good thing to do if a new child would like
to play with Allysen as it will reset her back
to the factory defaults.) Once she opens
her eyes, remove the paper clip and
she’ll begin the Start-up Routine again.
If Allysen continues to have problems, she may
need fresh batteries. (See “BATTERIES” and “IMPORTANT NOTE” Sections on reverse side.)
DOs & DON’Ts
DO NOT puncture, pinch or expose Allysen to hot temperatures.
DO NOT pull Allysen’s hair or eyelashes.
DO NOT leave her inside a car on a hot day.
DO NOT leave her squished in a toy box, or under anything that’s heavy.
DO NOT get Allysen wet or put her into the bathtub or swimming pool.
DO NOT clean her with any ammonia-based detergents. It can burn her skin.
DO wash her clothing; it is surface washable only – and very delicate.
DO keep sharp objects away from her. She could get hurt – and so could you!
DO have fun with Allysen!
Be sure to look for her Accessory Packs coming soon to a store near you!
