DO NOT RECHARGE OTHER TYPES OF BATTERIES.

To begin playing with your musical companion, you must first install the batteries.

Using a Phillips/cross head screwdriver (not included), loosen screw in battery

compartment cover (screw stays

attached to cover) on bottom

of each foot of the toy. Into

each foot, insert 2 x 1.5V “AA”

alkaline batteries in the battery

compartment. Replace cover and

tighten screw.

TO INSERT BATTERIES

1. To turn the BEATMIX BUMBLEBEE toy ON, press the

button on its back. You will hear a special introduction

song and see a LED animation to show you that the toy

is “awake” and ready to play!

2. To turn the BEATMIX BUMBLEBEE toy OFF, press and

hold the button on its back for three seconds. You will

hear a special sound effect and see a LED animation to

show you that the toy is shutting down.

The button on the back of the toy will light up and stay lit to show you that

the toy is ON.

Use the left ankle wheel to control the volume of beats and clip playback.

Take the enclosed cable and connect a musical device (CD player, stereo, portable

personal music player, computer, video game system, etc. – not included) to the Audio

Input Jack on the back of the toy’s right leg. Adjust the volume on your musical device.

Now watch as the toy:

1. Acts as a speaker for your tunes; and

2. Acts out with grooving motion!

If you do not connect a musical device, the

toy’s sound sensor will also hear music in

the room, if music is loud enough.

The more music plays, the more the

BEATMIX BUMBLEBEE toy will move and

groove, and its LEDs will flash to the music.

Play music for more than two minutes to

see all the special lights and movements!

You may also add beats and sound effects to your music: see p. 5.

Music boosts the energy levels of this toy.

TURNING ON/OFF

The more music and interaction you give this toy, the more energized it will

be, and the more it will “talk” to you with the music you record.

ON/OFF

LISTEN TO TUNES

Volume

Your BEATMIX BUMBLEBEE musical companion has a memory for your music!

The toy is able to manually record music

and beats (in 5-second clips), and it will

also randomly record music and beats (in

3-second clips). These sound clips are

stored in its memory (up to 60 seconds).

The toy will then play the recordings

back, at random, depending on its

energy level.

To manually record music or beats,

first make sure that music or beats are

playing through the toy. (See p. 3.) Press

the Record Button (the Transformer™

logo in the center of the toy’s chest)

to activate the recorder for 5 seconds.

During recording, the Record Button will

turn green. The toy will stop recording

after 5 seconds. You will see the color

of the Transformer button change

automatically, to alert you that the toy is

recording:

• Ready to Record Button: constant red LED

• Recording: constant green LED, will turn back to red when done recording

Random recording will take place when you have music playing through the toy.

Don’t be surprised if, all of the sudden, the BEATMIX BUMBLEBEE™ toy decides

to “talk” to you with some music you recorded! To manually make the toy play back

samples, press the Record Button when it’s flashing orange.

RECORD / PLAY MUSIC

NOTE: Recorded sound clips in the internal memory disappear over time. If the toy

receives no new input within 15 minutes, it will start to erase recorded clips from its

memory. If the toy has not been exposed to music for 1-2 days, there won’t be any

recorded music in the memory. Pre-recorded sound effects that came with the toy,

however, will remain.

Press to

record

Your BEATMIX BUMBLEBEE toy is a beat machine! You can play with the beats

and sound effects with or without music playing through its speaker.

BEATS

And it doesn’t stop there! The toy’s arms have four positions and a different sound effect

for each position.

To hear sound effects in a continuous “loop mode,” press and hold the toy’s left foot

button for about three seconds while the toy’s eyes flash. The headlights will flash green

to confirm “loop mode.” Then press a button for a sound effect. To stop any beat or

effect, press that spot again. Push and hold the left foot again for two seconds, and the

headlights will flash red to confirm “single play mode.”

Interaction boosts the energy levels of the toy.

To activate a beat, press any of the following spots:

Right Chest Plate Left Chest Plate

Right Ankle

Right Foot Left Foot

The more you play with and interact with your BEATMIX BUMBLEBEE toy, the

higher its energy levels will be.

When the toy’s energy levels are high, you will see a “happy” animation. When its

energy levels are low, it will play an “unhappy” animation.

If you don’t play or interact with the toy for 5 minutes, the toy will “go to sleep,”

to preserve battery life. After 60 minutes of no interaction, the toy shuts down

completely. During this 60-minute period, energy levels

will decrease, so if you’re not planning to interact with

the toy for a while, turn it OFF: that is, press and hold

the button on its back.

1. Do not use excessive force to pull or twist the moveable parts on the toy,

especially the arms.

2. The toy may react to other sounds or noises that it hears, other than music.

3. Avoid putting the toy near fragile objects or containers of fluid, as the toy

likes to move around and could spill something over.

4. Do not expose the product to moisture.

5. The toy does not like areas of high or low temperature, dusty or humid

areas, or direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting Guide

PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTION

Sounds are faint or weak.

Movements are slow.

The toy is acting erratically.

Make sure the volume levels of the toy and of your musical

device are turned up.

Or, the batteries may need changing. See battery

instructions for complete details on how to change

batteries.

I’ve changed the batteries, and the toy is

not doing anything.

Make sure you have installed the batteries correctly. Try

pressing the toy’s Reset button, and turn the toy on.

I cannot fit a cord into the Input Port. The toy only accepts 3.5 mm stereo output audio cords.

I connected headphones to the toy, but I

can’t hear anything.

The toy Input port is for input only: it doesn’t function as

an output port.

The toy is freezing up. Press the Reset Button using a ballpoint pen tip, and then

turn the toy on.
