 requires tending and will cry at various intervals. When the manikin cries, pres

the “Quiet” button on the control box. The manikin will cry again in 10 minutes to simulate a short 

“tending” or care time. P

ush the “Quiet” button again and the mankin will go to sleep.

To graph your time on the chart above, list the time that the manikin was turned on at the line marked 

“Starting P

button was pushed. Each line equals one hour

. Do not mark chart at the end of the tending cycle.

OPERATING 

INSTRUCTIONS

Batteries

The control box is powered by three "AA" alkaline 
batteries. 

Be careful when replacing the batteries 

to avoid damage to the control box. To insert the 
batteries, remove the control box from the manikin 
(Figure 1). With the control box removed, find the 
battery compartment door located on the back of 
the control box. Use a small screwdriver to remove 
the back (Figure 2). Install batteries, making sure the 
batteries are positioned correctly. Replace battery 
door (Figure 3) and reinsert control box into the 
manikin. 

When inserting the control box into the 

cavity in the back of the manikin, position the 

box so it touches the bottom of the cavity 
(Figure 4) — this will make it easier to remove the 
box from the top when necessary. If the unit is not 
going to be used for several days, the batteries 
should be removed. Store the Ready-or-Not Tot

®

 

without the batteries inserted.

Turning the Manikin On

Once the batteries have been installed, the manikin 
can be turned on. The on/off switch is hidden so 
students cannot turn the manikin off. 

Do not show 

students the location of the on/off switch. The hidden 
switch is designed to prevent students from shutting 
down the unit instead of completing the project.
To turn the manikin on, press the spot on the box 
marked “Nasco” and hold for two seconds (Figure 5). 
The power light will blink red and the manikin will cry. 
You will need to press the “quiet” button to stop the 
crying. The manikin will cry again 10 minutes later 
and you will need to press the “Quiet” button. To turn 
off, simply press the “Nasco” spot and hold for two 
to three seconds. When the power light is blinking, 
the manikin is set and will cry for the first time in 
each 10-minute tending period at approximately the 
following times:

Cry 1:

  70 minutes (first cry after manikin is turned on)

Cry 2:

  230 minutes

Cry 3:

  90 minutes

Cry 4:

  140 minutes

The schedule then repeats at 230-minute, 90-minute, and 140-minute 
intervals. There can be some flexibility in this schedule depending on when 
the student responds to the cry. Remember, the first cry will happen before 
you give the manikin to the student. The first time it cries for the student will 
be 10 minutes from when you turn it on and it will only have that one cry in 
the first tending period.
