receiver unit, whether for computer access or for
controlling toys, games or mains powered equipment.
Charging your KINETIC
Ensure that the internal battery is fully charged by plugging the charging cable into the USB mini socket
[G] and then into any USB port, for example on a PC, Mac or a wall charging unit. The charging LED [D] will
illuminate green to show that charging is taking place. Once charged, the charging light is extinguished.
If the charge in the battery begins to run low the charging LED [D] will begin to flash red. This is an
indication that it should be charged soon.
Turning the unit on and off
Press the on/off button [C] briefly to turn the unit on. The power LED [B] lights. To turn it off again, press
and hold the on/off button until the power LED is extinguished. Note that the unit automatically powers
down to conserve battery life after one hour of non-use. Press the power button briefly again to awaken it.
Choosing an Activity
Before you can begin using
KINETIC
, you need to choose an Activity. There are seven Activities in all, and
they can be categorised as follows:
With the LED display [A] off, press the Activity/Function button [E] briefly and the display will show the
current Activity. To change it, press the Activity/Function button repeatedly until you see the required
setting on the LED display. A table of settings is also provided on the rear of
KINETIC
. The display is
extinguished approximately four seconds after the last press of the Activity button and the setting is saved.
Although the LED display will remain off in normal use to conserve battery power, it should be noted that
the decimal point blinks whenever the unit is triggered. This is useful when first setting up the unit.
Note that all settings are preserved in memory even if the battery is completely flattened.
The following is a summary of how each Activity operates. Each has at least one link to a video which
demonstrates that particular Activity.
