Hrumf! That

Hi, I’m a
Uni.
Heehee, I am
just so pretty!
Play Instructions
1. Voice Activation
(Talk Mode)
With the function selector set to PLAY, place your Uni in front of you and speak to its hidden
microphone at a close distance (B). It will respond to your voice with talking, flashing lights,
and sometimes with a gentle vibration. Change your tone of voice and you’ll change the
Neopet’s mood (see Your Neopets Plushie’s Moods). To continue, speak to it again when it has
finished talking or moving (while still activated), otherwise it may not respond to your voice.
After playing for a while, the Plushie will need a rest and shut off automatically. Squeeze its left
or right ear again to wake it up.
Your Uni is preset to Try Me mode for in-
store demonstrations with limited functions.
Before playing, open the flap on the
underside of your Uni and retrieve the
battery box. For full function regular play,
set function selector to OFF for 5 seconds,
then switch to PLAY position as shown (A).
Your Neopet will immediately be activated
and greet you!
It’s Time To Play
2. Button Activation
(Right or Left Ear)
Right Ear (Talk Button) :
Squeeze the Neopet’s right ear Talk Button (C) once and it’ll talk with
light-up cheeks and sometimes with a gentle vibration. Squeeze its ear again for another response.
When using button activation, the Plushie’s response will stay at its current mood. To switch to voice
activation, just talk to your Plushie when it has finished talking or moving (while still activated).
Left Ear (Game Button) :
Want to play a game with your Uni
?
Just squeeze its left ear
Game Button (D) once to enter the Interactive Game Mode (see below).
Tip: Quickly squeeze the left or right ear twice, or squeeze both ears at the same time to give
your Uni a rest from playing.
3. Interactive Game Mode
(Single Plushie)
Your Neopets Plushie loves to play! Once in a while it’ll invite you to play a game. (You may also enter
the Interactive Game Mode anytime by squeezing your Uni’s left ear Game Button once). Follow its voice
instructions and it’ll respond to any Yes or No question you can think of. Don’t be shy, it won’t tell
anyone what you ask! If other Interactive Talking Neopets Plushies
(each sold separately)
are nearby and
already activated, they’ll join in and play the game, too! (See Multi-Plushies Interactions).
To switch to Voice Activation, squeeze the Uni’s right ear once. To stop playing, squeeze its left or right
ear twice quickly, or squeeze both ears at the same time. After playing for a while, your Plushie will need
a rest and shut off automatically. Squeeze its left or right ear again to wake it up.
Upset
Raise your voice and your Uni reacts. Its
cheeks glow when it’s upset. Speak softly
or play a game with your Neopet to cheer
it up. (You may have to speak softly a few
times before it returns to a happy mood
again). Tip: Your Uni loves to play with any
Petpet Plushies
(each sold separately)
. Bring one
over and your Uni will feel better soon.
(See Multi-Plushies Interactions).
... if you
continue to use a loud
tone when your Plushie is already
upset, it may get the “sneezles” and
start to cough, sneeze and shiver. Its
cheeks glow when it’s not feeling well
and it won’t be able to play any
games. Nurture it back to health by
speaking softly to it a few times. It’ll
tell you when it feels better again!
Achoo!

4. Rest And Sleep
Rest
- When there’s no sound input or button activation, the Plushie will try to catch your attention by making some sounds and
lights. If there’s still no input, it’ll yawn and take a rest. The Plushie will also rest after playing for a while by voice activation (in Talk
Mode or Interactive Game Mode). Squeeze its left or right ear once to continue playing.
Sleep
- If you let the Plushie rest long
enough, it’ll eventually fall asleep. Squeeze its left or right ear once to wake it up and it’ll greet you before playing again.

Bonus sayings occur when interacting with other Interactive Talking Neopets and Petpets Plushies. Each sold separately.
Battery Instructions:
Each Neopets Plushie comes with batteries for in-store demonstrations. Battery life may be
impaired. To replace batteries, open the flap on the underside of your Uni and retrieve battery
box. Turn power off by setting the function selector to OFF. Ask an adult to open the cover with a
screwdriver and replace with 3 new AA alkaline batteries (not included) as shown (H). Do NOT
use rechargeable batteries. Reattach cover and tighten the screw. Switch the function selector back
to PLAY and return the battery box to the Plushie. IMPORTANT: Remember to set the function
selector to OFF before replacing the batteries or it may cause the Plushie to malfunction.
Battery Caution: To avoid battery leakage -
1. Be sure to insert batteries correctly and follow the toy and battery manufacturers' instructions.
2. Do not use rechargeable batteries. Do not mix different brands of batteries.
3. Never mix old batteries with new batteries, or mix Carbon-Zinc, alkaline or Nickel-Cadmium batteries.
4. Always remove exhausted or dead batteries from the product.
5. Dispose of batteries safely. Batteries inside this product may explode or leak when in contact with fire.
Helpful Hints:
Single Plushie Situation:
1. When playing with a single Plushie by voice activation (in Talk Mode or Interactive Game Mode), place it about 10” directly in front of
you and speak to its microphone (see Voice Activation). Be careful that the microphone is not blocked or covered by anything.
2. To exit the Interactive Game Mode, squeeze the Plushie’s Talk Button once and it’ll switch to Voice Activation.
3. To stop playing, squeeze the Plushie’s Talk or Game Button twice quickly, or squeeze both buttons at the same time. To resume playing,
squeeze either button once to wake up your Neopet.
Multi-Plushies Situation:
1. When playing with multiple Plushies, you’ll get the best results with three or fewer Neopets and one Petpet.
2. For best performance when playing with multiple Neopets and Petpets Plushies, make sure they are all placed at the same height on a
level surface and about 10” from you and each other. Position them so that they are facing you and one another (see Multi-Plushies
Interactions).
3. If the Plushies are not responding to one another, check to make sure that they are facing one another with no objects blocking their
infrared signals, and their function selectors are set to the PLAY position. Follow the steps in Multi-Neopets Plushies (Interactive Game)
and try again.
4. While in the Interactive Game Mode with multiple Neopets Plushies,
a. Squeeze the leader Plushie’s Game Button once and the whole group will stop the game and exit the Interactive Game Mode.
b. Squeeze the leader Plushie’s Talk or Game Button twice quickly, or squeeze both buttons at the same time and the leader will stop
playing and rest until the next button activation. The rest of the group may follow the leader and stop playing (if signals received).
c. Squeeze a non-leader Plushie’s Game Button once and it’ll become the new leader.
d. Squeeze a non-leader Plushie’s Talk Button once and it’ll respond alone (see Button Activation). If no further button activation, it’ll
return to the game and continue playing with the other Neopets Plushies.
e. Squeeze a non-leader Plushie’s Talk or Game Button twice quickly, or squeeze both buttons at the same time and it’ll stop playing
and rest until the next button activation.
All Situations:
• The Neopets Plushies are designed for indoor play only. Avoid direct sunlight or bright light when playing.
• Always wait until the Plushies have finished their responses (sounds/lights/vibration) before speaking to them again, otherwise they
may not respond to your voice.
• After playing for a while by voice activation (in Talk Mode or Interactive Game Mode), the Plushies will take a rest and standby for
button activation. To continue playing, squeeze their Talk or Game Buttons to wake them up.
• To turn the power off, switch the function selector to OFF. To start playing again, set the selector to PLAY and squeeze the Plushies’ Talk
or Game Button once.
• Do NOT adjust the function selector except to turn the power off. Turning the power off will reset the Plushies’ mood back to Normal.
• Do NOT throw the Plushies against, or drop them on hard surfaces.
• Do NOT immerse the Plushies in water or play with them in a wet environment.
• Do NOT put the Plushies in a washing machine or hand wash. To clean, surface wipe the Plushies only with a clean damp cloth.
• If the Plushies malfunction for no apparent reason, reset by switching the function selector to OFF and reinstalling or replacing all
batteries with new ones.
• Replace all batteries with new ones when the voice/sounds/lights start to distort, slow down or dim.
• Remove all batteries and set the function selector to OFF position before storing the Plushies away for a long period of time.
Normal
Speak to your Uni in a
normal tone and it talks back
with flashing cheeks. Speak softly
a few times and your Plushie will
be in a happy mood. But speak
loudly a few times and your
Neopet will be in an upset mood.
5. Your Neopets Plushie’s Moods
When the function selector is first switched to PLAY, your Plushie starts out in the Normal mood. After playing
for a while and depending on your voice, its mood may change. Understand your Neopet’s mood by
observing the lights on its cheeks.
Happy
Speak softly to your Uni
and it responds happily with
a gentle vibration. Its cheeks
blink alternately and it may
even hum a tune! Speak softly
a few times and your Plushie
will stay in the happy mood.
G
Oh wonderful!
It’s a Shoyru!
Hi!
6. BONUS: Multi-Plushies Interactions
Tip: For best results, place the Plushies
about 10” apart and facing one another.
B. Neopets & Petpets Plushies
(Talk Mode)
Bring any Interactive Talking Petpet Plushie to your Uni (already activated) and
squeeze the left ear (or hand) of your Petpet (G). The Neopets Plushie will recognise
the Petpet Plushie by species and react! Squeeze the Petpet’s ear (or hand) again for
a different set of responses from the Plushies. If more than one Petpet Plushie is
present, wait until all the Plushies have stopped talking or moving (while still
activated) before squeezing another Petpet’s left ear (or hand).
Tip: A Petpet Plushie will cheer up any Neopets Plushies and make them feel better
if they are unhappy or unwell. The Neopet Plushie’s coughing or sneezing will
gradually disappear after a few chats with the Petpet Plushie!
Introduce any

nteractive Talking Petpet Plushies

to your Uni and it’ll recognise it by species and react!
(Each sold separately)
A. Multi-Neopets Plushies
(Interactive Game)
Follow the simple steps below and have fun with your Neopets Plushies!
Step 1: Position the Plushies about 10” apart and facing one another (E or F).
Step 2: Squeeze each of their Talk Buttons once to get them ready. (If no response, check
to make sure their function selectors are set to PLAY position).
Step 3: Select one Neopet Plushie and squeeze its Game Button. This Plushie will become
the group leader and sometimes it may recognise other Plushies and exchange
pleasantries with them.
Step 4: Follow the leader’s voice instructions and squeeze its Game Button to start the
game. (If you squeeze another Plushie’s Game Button, it’ll become the new leader).
Now, ask any Yes or No questions and the group of Plushies will respond! Go on,
ask them!
To stop the game and give everyone a rest, squeeze the leader’s Talk or Game Button twice
quickly (or squeeze both buttons at the same time). If you squeeze a non-leader Plushie, it
alone will take a rest. After playing for a while, your Neopets Plushies will need a rest and
shut off automatically. To resume playing, squeeze their Game Buttons again.
