Operating Instructions
The Me First v.3 Wireless Game Buzzers are designed for interactive question-and-answer sessions. Here’s how to operate them:
- Player Buzz-In: When a question is posed, the first player to press their P.A.D. will have their P.A.D. light up green. All other P.A.D.s will turn red, indicating they are locked out. The facilitator control unit will also light up green.
- Facilitator Response: The facilitator can then use their control unit to indicate if the player's answer is correct or incorrect:
- Press the 'RIGHT' button for a correct answer.
- Press the 'WRONG' button for an incorrect answer.
- Continuing Play: After a player has answered, the facilitator has two options:
- 'CONTINUE' Button: Pressing 'CONTINUE' will allow other players to buzz in, excluding the player who just answered. This is useful for multi-part questions or when multiple attempts are allowed.
- 'RESET' Button: Pressing 'RESET' will clear all current responses, turning all P.A.D.s back to yellow, and allow all players to buzz in again for the next question.
- Sound Settings: The facilitator control unit includes a 'SOUND' button to toggle between multiple sound settings for buzz-in alerts.
- Tracking Scores: At the end of the game, the facilitator can press and hold the 'RIGHT' button on their control unit to display which players had the most correct answers.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your buzzers:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface of the player P.A.D.s and facilitator unit with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the lights dim or the units become unresponsive. Use the recommended battery type (specified on the unit or in the packaging).
- Storage: Store the buzzers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Me First v.3 Wireless Game Buzzers, refer to the following common solutions:
- Units Not Turning On:
- Ensure batteries are correctly installed and not depleted. Replace if necessary.
- Confirm the ON/OFF button is held for at least 3 seconds until the red light appears.
- Player P.A.D.s Not Responding:
- Ensure the facilitator control unit has been reset (all P.A.D.s should be yellow).
- Check that the P.A.D.s are within the 80-foot RF range of the facilitator unit.
- Verify that the P.A.D.s are powered on.
- Interference:
- Minimize obstructions between the facilitator unit and player P.A.D.s.
