A few people may experience epileptic seizures when viewing flashing 
lights or patterns in our daily environment. These persons may experi-
ence seizures while watching TV pictures or playing video games. Play-
ers who have not had any seizures may nonetheless have an undetected 
epileptic condition.

Consult your physician before playing video games if you have an 
epileptic condition or experience any of the following symptoms while 
playing video games: altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, other 
involuntary movements, loss of awareness of your surroundings, mental 
confusion and/or convulsions.

pROdUCt FeAtUReS:

GettING StARted

The optimal placement of the Jibbi console is on top of your TV; however, 
placing the console any where near your TV is acceptable.  Jibbi will re-
spond to your voice commands therefore ambient noises need to be kept 
to a minimum.  Speak clearly and stay directly in front of the microphone.  
Turn Jibbi on using the off/on switch located on the bottom of the unit.

Here are some tips when talking to Jibbi:
•  Talk directly in line with the microphone
•  Stay 3-5 feet away from Jibbi

•  Speak clearly
•  Only 1 person speak at a time
•  Keep background noise (like music and conversations to a minimum)
•  Wait until the word is on the screen before you speak it

Turn Jibbi on using the on/off switch and you will be asked “Continue 
Existing Game?”
•  If you respond Yes you will start where you last left off
•  If you respond No you will be asked “Are you Sure?”

When asked Are You Sure? 
•  If you respond Yes you will erase your data and start over!
•  If you respond No you will continue where you left off
