Input Port) and tap Fin A:

Your I-FISH musical companion responds to your stroking touch
and to sound input, either through its microphone or its Input
Port. Its reaction will vary, depending on the sound and its volume.
When the I-FISH toy isn’t doing anything, it’s in Communication
mode.

NATURAL – I-FISH always starts in Natural mode: when you start
it up, reset it, or when it shuts down. No songs will play. The Face
LEDs will be green and slowly flash from the bottom to the top of
the face. The Body LED will be green and will sometimes show
flashes of red or blue light.
REFRESHED – When I-FISH reacts to microphone input from its
Natural state, it becomes Refreshed. The Face LEDs will be orange
and will flash from the bottom to the top of the face. The Body
LED will be blue and will sometimes show flashes of green or red.
I-FISH will start to play original songs, one at a time. During song
playback, the Face LEDs turn red and flash from the top to the
bottom of the face. The Body LED will also turn red and green.
HAPPY – When I-FISH reacts to petting from its Refreshed state, or
microphone input from its Relaxed state, it becomes Happy. The
Face LEDs will be red and will quickly flash from the bottom to
the top of the face. The Body LED will be red and will sometimes
show flashes of blue and green. During song playback, the Face
LEDs turn orange and flash from the top to the bottom of the face.
The Body LED will also turn red and the tempo of the music will
increase.

Feeding I-FISH
I-FISH likes to be fed music and sound. If you feed I-FISH, it will
enter its Happy mode.
Hold down Fin B for a second or two, and I-FISH will make a
bubbling sound to indicate it’s entered its Feeding mode. Watch
the I-FISH face: it will light up from top to bottom, with red, orange
and green lights. (Its body does not light up at this time.) Once
I-FISH enters Feeding mode, you need to feed it within 4 seconds.
I-FISH is hungry!
Once I-FISH receives “food” in the form of music or sound, it will
light up in various colors and play a short “Thank You” melody,
along with a bubbling sound.
If I-FISH cannot receive “food,” it will make a disappointed sound
and return to its Communication mode.
Face LEDs will remain green but will flash from the top to the
bottom of the face. The Body LED will turn green.
I-FISH knows songs which contain “bubbling” water sounds. If
you want to add bubbling sounds to what I-FISH is playing, press
either Fin A or Fin B.
If you’d like I-FISH to stop playing its song, hold down Fin B for
about 3 seconds.

Mimic Mode
If you talk to I-FISH or play a sound while it is in
Communication mode, I-FISH will squeak and its Face LED will
flash an array of colors.
If sound continues for about 4 seconds while the lights are
flashing, I-FISH will make an arrangement with that sound
and play it back to you.
NOTE: Depending on surrounding conditions, I-FISH may react
to background noise.
