V-tech V.Smile Pocket Power Pack User manual

POWERPACK

Dear Parent,

VTech®

, with the introduction of our V.Smile

Pocket

™

, offers parents a

fun, healthy alternative to the world of hand-held video games. We know that

children enjoy the “big kid” feeling that comes with owning one’s very own

hand-held system, and we also understand parents’ reluctance to put these

toys into their children’s hands. Children want more independent play as they

get older, and parents want to feel comfortable that this play is providing

healthy, fun and educational benefits to their children.

With V.Smile

Pocket

™

– an educational hand-held video game system

designed for 5-8 year-olds –

VTech®

continues its tradition of providing

unique and fun alternatives to the existing video game systems. The V.Smile

Pocket

™

combines age-appropriate educational content with high-tech

graphics and fun game play to provide a state-of-the-art experience that kids

and parents will both love. Also, V.Smile

Pocket

™

can be played both on-the-

go as a hand-held unit, or plugged directly into your TV for a shared, at-home

game play experience.

Both the V.Smile

Pocket

™

and the V.Smile

™

TV Learning System work with

the full library of

VTech®

Smartridges

™

, each based on popular children’s

characters that engage and encourage your child to play while learning. The

library continues to grow, as

VTech®

seeks to provide parents with an almost

endless selection of wholesome video games that meet the individual needs

and likes of their children.

VTech®

we are proud to provide you with a much-needed solution to the

video game dilemma, as well as another innovative way for your child to learn

while having fun. We thank you for trusting

VTech®

, with the important job of

helping your child explore a new world of learning!

Sincerely,

Your Friends at

VTech®
