Setup and Initial Use

1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the E.T. Furby from its packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or reference.
2. Battery Installation: Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the Furby. Using a small Phillips head screwdriver, open the compartment. Insert 4 "AA" alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
3. Activation: Once batteries are installed, the Furby should begin to awaken. It may start to move its eyes, mouth, and speak its first words. If it does not activate, gently rock it back and forth or press the reset button (if available, typically a small recessed button requiring a paperclip).

Operating Instructions

The E.T. Furby is designed for interactive play. Its responses are based on sound, touch, and light.

• Speaking: Speak clearly to your E.T. Furby. It will learn and respond over time, expanding its vocabulary. The more you interact, the more it will communicate.
• Touch Interaction: Pet its head, tickle its belly, or hold it upside down to elicit different reactions. Observe its movements and sounds for cues.
• Light Features: The E.T. Furby's finger and heart are designed to glow. This feature activates during certain interactions or when it expresses specific emotions.
• Communication with Other Furbys: Place your E.T. Furby near other Furby or Furby Baby units. They are designed to communicate with each other, engaging in conversations and even singing together.
• Sleep Mode: If left undisturbed, the E.T. Furby will eventually go to sleep to conserve battery life. You can wake it up by interacting with it.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: To clean your E.T. Furby, gently wipe its surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the toy in water or use harsh cleaning agents, as this can damage the electronic components.
• Battery Replacement: When the Furby's responses become sluggish or it stops functioning, it's time to replace the batteries. Always replace all batteries at the same time with new ones of the same type.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and corrosion. Store the Furby in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
