survival
At times, there is nothing like a glowing rock to lift your
spirits and help you survive. Double pressing the Phaser
PLUS button activates Survival. To
Survive
, press and hold
the trigger button while pointing the Phaser at the Rock. The
Phaser firing sound will be heard and the Rock will glow red
brighter and brighter, as if the Rock is heating up, while you
hold the trigger button, until maximum brightness is reached.
Note
: The rock is not heating up; the red glow caused by the
Phaser firing is only a simulation of the Rock heating up.
When the trigger button is released the Rock’s glow will
start to dim, simulating the Rock cooling down. While the
Rock is glowing red, pressing the Phaser PLUS button will
increase the Rock’s brightness and cancel the dimming;
pressing the Phaser MINUS button will decrease the Rock’s
brightness and cancel the dimming.
For Survival, the Rock can only be controlled by the
Phaser. The Phaser can control the Rock from distances of
up to three metres.
Note
: The remote control range may be affected by bright
lights, sunlight, the angle of the rock and the state of the rock
illumination, all of which may reduce the remote control
range. If affected please move nearer the rock to control it.
atmosphere
On any planet, even Earth, occasionally the environment can
lack a little atmosphere. Double pressing the Phaser MINUS
button provides extra atmosphere just when you need it.
The Rock provides atmosphere by gently glowing in any
one of a wide range of colours at the brightness of your
choice. While the Rock is providing atmosphere it may be
controlled by the Phaser or by using the buttons on the
underside of the Rock, which have matching functions.
The Phaser trigger button has the same function as the
Rock power button and the Phaser and Rock’s PLUS and
MINUS buttons have the same functions. If the Phaser is
used to control the Rock, the functions and button presses
will be accompanied by specific sounds or function
announcements. Like all rocks, this rock is completely
silent, so if the Rock’s buttons are used to change the Rock’s
illumination state or function, no sound will be heard.
A short press
of the Phaser trigger button or Rock
power button powers the Rock ON if it was off, and
powers it OFF if it was on. When initially powered on, the
Rock illuminates in the colour it was set to when it was
last used to provide atmosphere.
Double pressing
the Phaser trigger button or the Rock
power button changes the Rock’s illumination to the next
base colour. There are seven base colours: red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, pink, and warm white.
Triple pressing
the Phaser trigger button or the Rock
power button causes the Rock to auto-cycle through the
colour spectrum very slowly, imperceptibly fading from
colour to colour. Be patient, the fade cycle takes about 10
minutes to provide the maximum atmospheric effect.
Quadruple pressing
the Phaser trigger button or the
Rock power button causes the Rock to auto-cycle through
the colour spectrum more rapidly, in about one minute.
Pressing and holding
(long press) the Phaser trigger
button or the Rock power button causes the Rock to cycle
through the colour spectrum manually for as long as you
hold the button. Release the button at the desired hue.
While the Rock is providing atmosphere the PLUS
and MINUS buttons increase or decrease brightness.
Triple pressing
the
PLUS
button activates an instant
daylight function and the rock glows with a warm white
light at maximum brightness.
Triple pressing
the
MINUS
button activates a nightfall function where the
rock very slowly dims to off over a period of about 10
minutes; perfect for calmly dropping off
to sleep at the end of a busy day
exploring a planet’s surface.
