QUICK START
Batterydetails
Robopanda uses 6 x “C” and 4 x “AA” alkaline batteries
(not included).
We recommend using good quality alkaline batteries.
Batteryinstallation
Robopanda shows you when it is time to change his batteries.
Robopanda’s eyes will begin to blink when his “AA” batteries are running low,
and he will eventually go to sleep if you continue to play with him without
replacing the 4 x “AA” batteries.
If the “C” batteries begin to run low, the light on Robopanda’s chest will blink
and you will need to change all 6 x “C” batteries.
NOTE: Remove any batteries in Robopanda if he is not going to be played
with frequently.
Importantsafetyinformation
Take note of the following when operating Robopanda:
• Robopanda should be placed either on the oor or on a large at surface from which
he is not likely to fall.
• When switching Robopanda on, avoid touching the sensors on the back of his neck
or on either of his armpits. Doing so might inhibit his safety sensors from properly
detecting responses.
• To avoid injury, be careful when turning him off; once you turn him off, his limbs
might become limp and he might fall forwards.
• Avoid putting articles of clothing on him as it might inhibit the proper functioning
of his sensors as well as his limbs.
• Do not immerse Robopanda or any parts of him in water or any other form of liquid.
• Do not drop, throw, or kick Robopanda as this might damage his mechanical
functions.
• Make sure he is in a rm sitting or standing position when you switch on
Robopanda. If not he might fall over when you turn him on.
• If Robopanda performs an expected function, turn him off and then on again to
reset him.

Mode
Training
Mode
Off
All of Robopanda’s four limbs move independently. Robopanda is able to sit,
crawl and sit up again. Robopanda can tilt his head up and down, and turn his
head from left to right. His eyebrows and ears are also animated!
With his multitude of sensors, Robopanda recognizes when you touch him on
various places of his body. You can even pat or touch him on the head and he will
be able to distinguish the difference and respond accordingly.
You interact with Robopanda by touching these sensors; for instance, to navigate
through menu mode, to play games with him, and to help him tell his stories.
Poweringon/off
You can operate
Robopanda in one of three
play modes by moving
the position of his power
switch (located on his back
side).
Refer to the section
Robopanda’s play modes
for a description of these
modes.
Note: Make sure he is in
a rm sitting or standing
position when you switch
on Robopanda. If not he
might fall over when you
turn him on.
Sleepmode
If you leave Robopanda unattended, he will go into sleep mode to
conserve batteries within 4 minutes of the last time you touched him.
To wake him up from sleep mode, toggle the power switch (move the switch to
the OFF position, then move it back to one of the positions for the play modes).
NOTE: Even in sleep mode, Robopanda is still powered. Make sure you turn him
off manually when you are done playing with him.
NOTE: If Robopanda is in Friend mode, make sure that you turn him off manually
if you are not going to play with him for a while; otherwise he will continue to
talk until the batteries run out.

INTERACTING WITH ROBOPANDA™
This section describes how you can interact with Robopanda.
Robopanda’ssensors
There are several types of sensors on Robopanda:
• Touch sensors
• Tilt sensor
• Safety touch sensors
• Sonic sensors
Touchsensors
Robopanda has numerous touch sensors on his body that are used to interact and
play with him in each mode. He has eight touch sensors:
• Belly (1)
• Hand (2)
• Leg/Foot (2)
• Back (1)
• Head (2)
NOTE: When you remove Robopanda from his packaging, there are stickers placed
on his body indicating the location of his various touch sensors. You can remove
these stickers once you are familiar with him.
Robopanda will ask you to interact with him by touching his hand, belly or another
body part to continue the interaction.

Tiltsensor
The tilt sensor built into Robopanda allows him to sense when he is being carried,
shook or tipped over, for instance. When he is tipped over, he might ask you to help
him up and likely tell you that he does not like being tilted. If he is continually
being tilted, or shaken, he will automatically go into sleep mode.
Safetytouchsensors
Robopanda has three built in safety touch sensors to prevent mishaps, such as
catching a nger in the Robopanda’s moveable joints:
• Back of the neck (1)
• Armpits (2)
If Robopanda detects a touch on one of his safety touch sensors, he will not move
his head or arms until you stop touching him.
NOTE: Do not touch his safety sensors while he is being powered on until he begins
to talk.
Sonicsensor
Robopanda has a sonic sensor to hear sounds while you interact with him, such
as when playing a game, or while he tells a story. He might ask you to clap your
hands, or ask to pretend you are a bear and roar with him! If he cannot hear you,
he will ask you to try again.

You can easily expand Robopanda’s stories, games
and activities by changing activity and story
cartridges (each sold separately). Each cartridge
contains different stories, games and activities.
Robopanda comes with two cartridges (Activity and
story cartridges #1 and #2).
Activityandstorycartridge#1
Stories: Games:
• Trip to the Space Center • Remembear
• Trip to the Panda Reserve
HowtoplayRemembear
Remembear is a memory game in which you try to follow Robopanda’s commands
in the correct sequence. Robopanda begins by asking you to touch one of his body
parts (sensors on his head, hand, leg/foot, back or belly). If you touch the correct
body part, he continues to add another randomly-chosen body part to the end of
the sequence each time you are correct… until you make a mistake!
ROBOPANDA™ CARTRIDGES
Activityandstorycartridge#2
Stories: Songs: Games:
• Panda at the Zoo • Hear with Me • Zoo-Matching
• Let’s Have an Adventure • Ask Panda
• Panda Says
HowtoplayZoo-Matching
The object of the game is to match escaped zoo animals with their habitat and
their food. Robopanda asks you to select an animal to rescue rst, and then
identify its favorite food and its home by activating the correct sensor… Correctly
match the animal with his favorite food and his home to get him safely back to the
zoo!
Howtoplay Ask Panda
Robopanda is more than just a panda bear – he can also see into the future! Ask
him a question, and then touch his belly and he will predict the future for you!
HowtoplayPanda Says
Panda Says is a game like Simon Says – follow Robopanda’s commands and touch
the correct sensor. Listen carefully though! When Robopanda says, “Panda says…”
before the command, do what he says; if he doesn’t say “Panda says” before the
command, remember you shouldn’t listen to him! If you follow what he says when
he hasn’t said “Panda says” rst, the game will be over!
You can even play Panda Says with your friends. When someone misses a
command, you can all help Robopanda point out who missed… the last one in the
game wins!
