BULLDOG’S BIORHYTHM

Graphs shown below represent the 8 biorhythm levels of your Poo-Chi Friend,
Bulldog. Each level lasts about 30 minutes and determines his feelings and
behavior. For example, when Bulldog is in level 1 he will be unhappy most of
the time, and will probably have sad eyes. In level 8, he will be happy almost
all of the time, and will sing you special songs!

Remember: If he is sad, it’s very easy to make him happy again by playing
with him. Don’t forget, Bulldog has three different sensors that need attention!

(Refer to the SENSORS section).

Level 1: Bulldog is very unhappy and needs much care and affection.

Level 2: Bulldog is still sad, maybe feeding Bulldog his bone will help!

Level 3: Remember to watch Bulldog's eyes, they tell you how he feels.

Level 4: Getting happier, Bulldog loves to be petted!

Level 5: Bulldog hears when you clap or say "Good Dog!"

Level 6 (Home position): Bulldog starts at this level when reset.

Level 7: Bulldog's very happy, he might even sing you a special song!

Level 8: Congratulations on being a World Class Bulldog Owner,

watch for his special tricks!

YOUR POO-CHI FRIEND’S BONE

TM

Your Poo-Chi Friend loves to be cared for and the more you take care of him,
the happier he will be. Feed Bulldog by holding the bone so that the name on
the bone is facing the dog during feeding. Hold the bone centered in front of
his mouth. Bulldog will respond with happy eyes,
wagging tail and a special eating sound.

-Do not place the bone INSIDE of his mouth –
hold the bone in front of Bulldog’s mouth to
simulate feeding. Bulldog’s bone does NOT
require batteries. Do not attempt to open
the bone.

-Avoid placing the bone close to any magnetic­sensitive object like a cassette tape, video tape,
magnetic disk, credit card, etc.

WARNING: Bulldog’s bone is a toy. Bulldog’s bone
is not intended for use by a live dog.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Your Poo-Chi Friend is designed to provide hours of fun play. If his actions
become erratic and you are having trouble, check to make certain that Bulldog
has fresh batteries and then call Tiger Electronics’ Customer Service Department
at 1-800-844-3733

If you can’t see Bulldog’s eyes, he may be asleep (see section entitled
“SLEEPING”) or check to make certain there are fresh batteries.

You can wake up Bulldog by pressing the head sensor. If he was sad when
he fell asleep, it may take multiple head presses to wake up Bulldog. If he
was happy when he fell asleep, it will be easier to wake him up.

To wake up Bulldog when he is snoring, hold his special bone in front of his
mouth or press his head button.

LISTEN TO A SONG

To listen to one of Bulldog’s favorite songs, please follow the sequence below:

1.Wait until Bulldog stops moving.

2.Hold your hand completely over

Bulldog’s nose.

3.While still holding your hand over Bulldog’s

nose, press the head button 5 times
quickly (you must press the head button
5 times within 2 seconds).

4.Wait until you hear 3 short beeps, remove

your hand, then quickly press the head
button again for 1 – 6 times and you will
hear a different song for each number
of beeps.

5.After each song is finished, Bulldog will

return to his normal mode.
To hear another song, begin with Step 1 above.

SLEEPING

Because Bulldog is a puppy, he needs his sleep. Just like a real puppy, he will
fall asleep when it is dark or when no one is playing with him. When Bulldog
gets tired, he will sit down and his eyes will flash and close. You may even
hear a little snore!

Sometimes it takes Bulldog a long time to fall asleep. First, he will make noises
to try to get your attention. His eyes may even start to flash depending on his
mood. If he doesn’t get your attention after 6 minutes, he will sit down and
snore. If he still doesn’t get your attention after the snoring, he will fall into a
deep sleep.

To wake up Bulldog when he is in a deep sleep, press his head button. If
Bulldog was sad when he fell asleep, it may take him a little while to completely
wake up so you may need to press his head button more than once. If he was
happy when he fell asleep, he will quickly wake up.

COMMUNICATING WITH OTHER
ROBO-CHI™ PETS

Bulldog will communicate with other Poo-Chi Friends and Robo-Chi pets. To
begin communication, please follow the sequence below:

2.Wait for both creatures to stop moving.

3.Press the head button ONCE on BOTH CREATURES at the SAME TIME.

4.The dogs will begin to speak. If they like each other, they will sing a song

together. If they don’t like each other they will growl at one another.

5.Both will automatically return to normal play mode after they communicate

for approximately 2 minutes.

6.If you want the animals to communicate again, begin with Step 1 above.
