TURNING THE UNIT OFF

90-DAY LIMITED WARRANTY

Pooh Learning Pond has an automatic shut-off feature to help prolong battery life. After a brief period of inactivity, Pooh prompts your child for a response. If your child doesn't respond by pressing a button, Pooh will repeat the prompt or ask again. If there is still no activity, the unit will then automatically turn itself off. Pressing the "ON" button can then restart the toy.

NOTE: Your child needs to wait until after Pooh and Tigger have stopped talking before pressing a letter button. Presses made while the characters are speaking will not register.

Your child can respond to the question by pressing the matching letter, number or shape key on the keyboard.

IDENTIFY MODE: Pooh or Tigger will prompt the child to push a button. Each time a button is pressed, Pooh or Tigger will identify the button and the corresponding image will appear on the LCD screen. Every so often, Pooh or Tigger will respond with an encouraging phrase.

WHAT COMES NEXT?: Pooh or Tigger will ask your child, "What comes after the letter _____?" or "What comes after _____?" for number buttons. Your child can respond to the prompt by pressing the corresponding key.

FRIENDLY AND ENCOURAGING FEEDBACK:

In all the play modes, Tigger and Pooh will gently tell the child if he/she has answered correctly. If the child answers correctly, Pooh or Tigger will respond with an enthusiastic congratulations such as "That's right!" or "Very good!" If the child answers incorrectly, Tigger or Pooh will provide an encouraging response such as "Oopsie, try again," or "Almost, try again." The child will be given several attempts to correctly respond. At that point Pooh will move on to another question or prompt. If the child does not respond to a prompt with a button press, Pooh or Tigger will wait for a short period of time and then repeat the prompt. If there is still no action taken by the child, then the prompt will be repeated again. At that point, if the child does not respond, Pooh or Tigger will ask a new question or provide a new prompt.
