PRODUCT FEATURES

BABYWOW is able to follow up to 11 different voice commands, which depend on the learning level. He moves his head, crawls, laughs, cries, kneels, etc. It includes a ball and dummy that interact with BABYWOW. He has 3 learning levels (basic, intermediate and advanced) that enable us to access the more complex commands out of the 11 available. He also has a touch sensor in his tummy that directly activates some of his actions.

USE AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IMC TOYS products undergo strict production controls to guarantee the enjoyment and safety of your children. They are easy to use and operate. We are certain that they will provide your children with great entertainment. Thank you for purchasing one of our products.

NOTE FOR ADULTS

Before giving the product to children, first remove all plastic, wires and any other object designed to fasten it during transport.

This product comes factory-prepared for the "TRY ME" function. The batteries that it includes are designed for this use. Therefore, it is possible that they may be spent. If this is the case, we recommend they should be replaced.

The product is distributed in its original packaging and for demonstration purposes in stores with the selector switch in the TRY-ME position (see fig. 1). The product has limited functionality in this position and will not respond to any voice commands. Turn the switch to the ON position for normal operation.

OPERATION WITH BATTERIES

Replacement and installation

This product requires four LR6 (AA) 1.5V alkaline batteries (included). Firstly, open the velcro closure and set the switch to the OFF position (see fig. 1). Remove the safety screw from the lid of the battery compartment located at the bottom of the base (see fig. 2). Remove the dead batteries. Notice the correct placement of the batteries in the image (see fig. 2) and place them according to the position and polarity indicated. Replace the lid and the safety screw (for your children's safety) and finally close the velcro closure.

Replacing or handling the battery should always be done under the supervision of an adult.

Operation

First, put the switch in the ON position. Direct activation button or sensor: Babywow has a button or sensor located in his tummy (A) that makes him laugh when pressed or when you slide your finger across it (see fig. 3). If we rub Babywow's tummy (A), he laughs (level-I) or crawls and laughs (level-II and III) according to his learning level. Likewise, if we pick Babywow up and hold him face up, he will detect this and reproduce a sound.

Interactions with accessories: If we put the dummy in his mouth, he will make sucking noises. If we remove the dummy from his mouth, he will cry. If Babywow detects the ball on his chest, he will crawl and reproduce sounds when moving (see fig. 4).

Learning levels (basic-I, intermediate-II and advanced-III): While Babywow plays he experiences a progression in the number of instructions he can recognise and do. In basic mode-I, he can recognise and follow commands from 1 to 6 (see table of commands); in intermediate mode-II, from 1 to 8; and in advanced mode-III, he can recognise all of the 11 commands described in the following section. When Babywow hears a same instruction, he may do a different action, which depends on the learning level in which he is at that given moment*. Note: The experience and progression of Babywow is based on the instructions received and executed. In basic mode, if he receives over 10 instructions (whether repeated or not), he will advance to intermediate mode, and if he advances another 10 commands, he will reach advanced mode.

Babywow will remember his level of knowledge and experience even when replacing the batteries. If we want to return to the beginning of the game experience, that is, to basic mode, we must follow these steps: With the switch in the ON position, maintain the reset button (B) pressed for approximately 10 seconds (see fig. 1 and 3) until you hear a moan indicating that Babywow has returned to his initial learning level.

Voice orders or commands: Babywow will follow your instructions when the switch in the ON position. Say the action that you want Babywow to perform from those available according to his level of knowledge and experience. Babywow will do it immediately.

To help Babywow understand the voice commands, wait for him to finish the action that you have instructed before starting another one. If he does not recognise the voice command, repeat it but saying it as clearly as possible. If he does not answer, change the command; if he continues to ignore you, verify whether Babywow is resting or not (see the energy saving mode section in this manual). If he is resting, press the button (A) to activate him again. Babywow will understand you better if there is not too much noise around him when giving out the instructions; the noise could confuse him.

Energy saving mode

If Babywow does not receive a stimulation for 30 seconds, he will make sounds to draw our attention. If another 30 seconds elapse without any interaction, he will cry and finally, he will deactivate.. To activate him again, press the button (A) or remove and/or put the dummy in his mouth. After playing with him, we recommend that you turn the switch to the OFF position so that he is completely turned off.

Troubleshooting

Babywow not responding, a decrease in the volume of the sound, and erratic movement are symptoms of dead batteries; they must be replaced.
