[. . . ] qx_84895_SW_R2D2_v3 7/15/02 2:58 PM Page 1 Ages 8+ Important Note: The treads on R2-D2's steering legs can navigate floors and most carpeting. However, we strongly recommend you use R2-D2 indoors only. Never use R2-D2 near stairs, unless the stairs are protected. R2-D2 is unable to detect or navigate stairs and may fall down stairs and become damaged if not protected. Use on tabletops only in the wheel-lock setting. [. . . ] If his sound sensors or motion detector continue to sense the intruder, R2 will sound his alarm!Tap him on the head to stop the alarm; once you've shut off the alarm, he'll revert to Companion Mode and wait for a new command. If no new command is given, R2 will go back into Room sentry mode. IMPORTANT TIPS! · Any time, in any mode, that R2-D2's programming goes off on the wrong track and he is not responding correctly to your commands, you can say "Re-set system!" to take him back to the beginning of his Companion Mode. · Whenever R2 is performing a command or action and you would like him to stop, simply tap him on the head (but be careful not to tap him too hard, or you might put him in a bad mood!). · Initially, we recommend saying "Hey, R2!" before every command, to make sure that you have your droid's attention. However, as you work with your R2 unit, you will find through trial and error that this command is not always necessary. Before long, you will be familiar enough with R2-D2's habits and responses to know when you have his attention or not!· Always wait until R2 has finished responding before giving him another command ­ he cannot hear you when he is talking. · R2 will also not hear you when his motorized wheels are in motion or his head is turning; he can only hear you when he is stationary. · For best speech recognition results, try to keep background noise as low as possible, and speak to R2 in a normal, friendly tone of voice; shouting or speaking loudly does not improve speech recognition (and it's best not to have gum or food in your mouth when you speak to him!). · If you are talking to R2 without using any of the "command phrases" listed in this manual, he will go into conversation mode and respond to you in his trademark language of beeps and whistles. R2-D2 is a great talker and a great listener who loves to converse with you!· R2 does not like to be picked up while he's moving. If you do so, he may stop his motors and complain! DANCE PROGRAM: Say "Dance Program!" and R2 will play cantina music and do a spinning dance!Depending on his mood, he may do a happy fast dance or a sad slow one. SPIN THE DROID: This is a great party game. Gather `round with a bunch of your friends, and say "Spin the Droid!" R2 will turn his dome around and back, around and back, scanning the crowd, before finally choosing one person by locking onto that person, flashing his light beam and playing a song!´ Every name will provoke a different response depending on how R2 feels about that particular character!Be sure to speak slowly and clearly and pause between your commands. COMPANION MODE DIRECTIONS In this beginning mode, R2-D2 is his usual friendly and playful self. He loves your companionship, and loves to respond to certain commands you give him. Stand or sit directly in front of R2 (ideally from about 2 feet, and no more than 6 feet, away), and speak clearly toward the speech sensor on the front of his body. (R2 will indicate that he is listening to you by blinking his red and blue LEDs together. ) Say: "Re-set system!" R2 will return to the beginning of his Companion Mode. Say: "Hey, R2!" R2-D2 will turn his head towards you and whistle to indicate he is ready for the next command!Remember: Always say "Hey, R2!" before giving him a command! [. . . ] When reverting to this mode, his red LED will flash on and off, then turn off completely. While in Standby, R2 will "wake up" when you talk directly to him, when he senses motion in front of him, or when you tap him gently on the head. 2. ) You may also put R2 into "Standby" setting directly by saying "Switch off!" when he is in Command Mode. 3. ) If you will not be playing with R2-D2 for extended periods of time (more than two or three days), it is recommended that you manually turn his Master Power Control to the "OFF" position. DROID ASSEMBLY: 1. ) Snap the head/projector piece onto the main unit. [. . . ]
