To connect to the mains, follow these instructions:
1. Check the equipment is switched off.
2. Connect the adaptor to the point on the left side of the game.
3. Plug the other end of the adaptor in at the mains.
4. Switch the game on.
An adapter is not a toy. If adapter remains unused for an extended period, unplug
it to avoid overheating. When the game is powered by an adapter, do not play
outside. Regularly check that the adapter and its lead are in good working order.
In case of deterioration, do not use the adapter until it has been repaired. This
game is not suitable for children under 3 years.
II. STARTING A NEW GAME
Place the chessmen on the board and turn the computer on by pressing ON. Then
press NEW GAME. You will hear a tune and a green light (corresponding to row
1) will light up at the bottom left indicating that White is to move.
At any moment you can start a new game by pressing NEW GAME. If you do this,
only the level and game setting are saved.
N.B.:
The computer saves the position of the chessmen when it is switched off. If
you want to start a new game when you turn the computer on again, press NEW
GAME.
III. MAKING A MOVE
To make a move:
1. Press lightly on the square of the piece you want to move. The easiest way
is to tilt the piece slightly and press its edge lightly on the centre of the
square. You can also press on the square with your finger. You will hear a
specific jingle and two lights will be illuminated. These two lights indicate
the row and column (rank and file) of the square you are moving from.
2. Place the piece on the square you want to move it to and press lightly
on the centre of the square. You will hear another beep indicating that
the computer has recognised your move and that it is thinking about its
response.
