The legendary King Arthur brandished a
magic sword, Excalibur, from which we
take our company name. With this unique
weapon in his hands, he could not be vanquished.

Although Excalibur Electronics can’t

claim the magical secrets of Merlin, King
Arthur ’s court wizard, sometimes our

patented technology may make it seem as

if we could. MadLibs is another
unmatched innovation of Excalibur
Electronics.

We make you think.

Battery Information

Your MadLibs Handheld

Game requires two AAA batter-
ies, not included. To install the
batteries, carefully turn Mad-
Libs over so that the unit is face-
down on a soft surface. Find the
battery compartment on the
back of the unit. Use a small
Phillips screwdriver to remove
the screw. Lift off the battery
compartment lid. Install the bat-
teries, making sure to match
polarity (+ and -). Place the tab
of the battery compartment lid
in its slot and close the compart-
ment door. Replace the screw
and tighten.

Please Note:

For best results,

always use alkaline batteries. Be
sure to check the expiration date
because fresh batteries will
ensure uninterrupted usage and
enjoyment of your game.
Remove the batteries if you’re
not using the game for an
extended period. If the game
does not perform as expected,
check for proper battery charge
and correct battery installation,
or try a fresh set of batteries.

MadLibs may lock up due to static discharge.  

If this should happen, use a ballpoint pen to press 

the button marked “

RESET

” on the front of the unit.
