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.

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
