Introduction The Chimpanzee, our closest animal relative, is brought to life in this state-of-the-art animatronic head. He is highly communicative, fully interactive and has four distinct moods. Heʼs so real, itʼs unreal! Be sure to read this manual carefully for a complete understanding of the many features of this Chimpanzee.
Back view of the Remote Controller Body Batteries The Chimpanzee does not issue a warning about weak batteries. You may notice that his movements become slower when his batteries need changing. Controller Battery If the Chimpanzee is not responding well to controller commands, you may need to...

• The a.c/ d.c adaptor is not a toy. • The Chimpanzee may generate some abnormal motion or sound if you directly change the power source (from batteries to adaptor and vice versa) without turning the ON/ OFF switch to OFF first. After changing the power source, please turn the ON/ OFF switch to the ON position.
Control on p.13. Program Button This button allows the Chimpanzee to be programmed (See Program Mode p.16). Alive Button Put the Chimpanzee into Alive Mode (see p.9). Demo Button Push this button and the Chimpanzee will perform a random sequence of animations.
Compartment Attaching the Antenna The antenna is stored in the back of the Chimpanzee Controller to prevent damage. To attach the antenna, simply remove from its storage slot, insert into the hole situated on the top of the Controller (between the two toggle switches), and screw into place; as illustrated above.
Turning ON the Chimpanzee To turn ON the Chimpanzee, slide the switch located at the back of his neck to the ON position. He will perform an animation, starting in Curious Mood. He is in Alive Mode and will react to sensor input.
When he is first turned on, he is in his default mood - Curious. When returning to Alive Mode from Direct Control Mode, the Chimpanzee will start in the mood he was last performing (see Moods below).
Touch Sensors There are 5 touch sensors on the Chimpanzee, one in each ear, one under his chin, one on the back and one on the top of his head (see Chimpanzee Overview on p.8). Ears The Chimpanzee has a touch sensor located in each ear. These sensors react to a light fl ick.
The Chimpanzee will track objects in front of his face - Up, Down, Left, and Right. When tracking an object the Chimpanzee will keep his vision locked on it until he loses sight of it. This will not affect his mood.
When he hears a sound, the Chimpanzee will respond with an animation. Responding to sounds will also influence his mood. NOTE: The Chimpanzeeʼs Stereo Hearing is only ON in Alive Mode or Guard Mode.
Direct Control Direct Control of the Chimpanzee is activated by pressing any of the buttons on the controller (except the Alive button), or by moving the joysticks, automatically taking him out of Alive Mode. Once in Direct Control Mode, the Chimpanzee is animated by using the following controller...

The amount of time that the joystick is held in a specific direction determines how far the Chimpanzee moves. When a joystick is moved in another direction, this is a new step in the program. STORING A PROGRAM You can program a maximum of 20 steps.
When the Chimpanzee is in Direct Control Mode and has had no input for approximately 4 minutes he will go into Alive Mode. When the Chimpanzee is in Alive Mode and has had no interaction for around 10 minutes he will Power Down.
