Content
Speak to Uni in a normal voice (not harsh or loud) and it’ll flap its wings and talk back. You’ll know it’s content by the three lights flashing
simultaneously on its mane and horn. Try not to chat for too long as your neopet will get tired and its mood may change. After talking for twenty
consecutive times, it’ll take a nap and go into sleep mode. Tip: Use short phrases and pick up Uni to play often!
Happy
Talk softly to your magical neopet and it’ll be pleased. It’ll flap its wings, giggle, laugh or hum a tune. Even the three lights on the horn and
mane will seem to be dancing from yellow to green to red! Tip: The more you use a soft tone, the happier Uni will be.
Not-So-Happy
Ssssshhh! When you raise your voice to Uni, it’ll be upset and won’t be afraid to tell you. It’ll respond with a glowing horn and
mane. Its wings flap as it complains. If you speak loudly three consecutive times, it’ll remain in this mood until you pick it up to play or talk to it in a
normal or soft tone. Then, it’ll perk up and return to its previous mood (content or happy). Tip: You may need to talk softly a few times to boost Uni’s
happiness level before it returns to a happy mood again.
Play Instructions:
It’s fun to play with Uni! It’ll respond when you (1) press the TALK button (diagram B), (2) speak to it, (3) pick it up or place it down. For
full function regular play,
set function selector to OFF for five seconds, then switch to PLAY position (diagram A3). The very first time the function selector is set to
PLAY, Uni’s mood is set to Content. After playing for a while, and depending on how you treat your neopet, its mood may change to Happy or Not-So-Happy. Try
reading your friend’s happiness level by its lights (see The 3 Moods Of Your Neopet).
Uni will respond every time you speak or press the TALK button. If there’s no command from you, it’ll try to catch your attention by making short sounds and/or
motions with lights. When it has been left idle for a while, it’ll yawn and go into
‘Sleep’
mode to save battery life. Press the TALK button and it’ll wake up (to the mood
prior to sleeping). You may also turn off the power by setting the function selector to OFF. To resume playing, switch the selector to PLAY and press the TALK button.
1. TALK Button:
Uni loves to talk to you! With the function selector set to PLAY, press the TALK button (diagram B) and your neopet will talk with motion and lights. Its reactions will
depend on its current mood. For example, it’ll respond happily if in a happy mood. When you want to hear your neopet speak and watch it move (in its current mood only), use the
TALK button. Note: You can switch to voice activation anytime by speaking to your neopet (see Voice Activation).
2. Voice Activation:
Uni can hear you and respond with sound, motion and lights! It’s easy! Place your neopet in front of you and speak to its hidden microphone (diagram B) at a
close distance. It’ll respond after you’ve started talking (approx. 4 seconds). To continue, wait until it has finished talking or moving before speaking to it again. Remember to set the
function selector to the PLAY position and make sure your neopet is not in sleep mode.
3. Picking Up/Placing Down Your Neopet:
Uni is smart! It knows when you pick it up or place it down with the help of a sensor on the bottom
(diagram C). Every time you pick up your neopet, its happiness level rises! Its wings flap as it makes happy sounds with a light-up mane and horn. When
you place it down, it’ll thank you with another special sound. Note: If you pick up Uni but place it down almost immediately, it will ignore the action.
Similarly, if you place it down and pick it up again too quickly, it’ll ignore the motion.
The 3 M oods O f Your Neopet:
Playing With Two O r M ore Neopets:
(Each sold separately)
It’s lots of fun with more than one neopet! First, place the neopets close together (diagram D). When they’ve
stopped talking or moving, wait another second, then press any neopet’s TALK button and they will talk and interact with each other by responding to each other’s voices! (Note: If
the neopets are in sleep mode, press all their TALK buttons once to wake them up). You can join in by speaking to the group when the others have stopped talking or moving. The
neopets will continue chatting until they’re tired and go into sleep mode to rest. You may want to end the chatting before then to save battery life.
Hint:
Turn power to OFF
to reset your neopet’s
mood back to
content.
