1. Turn I-DOG ON by pressing the Nose Button. Its ears will move
and it will play a special sound and LED light animation to
show you that it’s awake and ready to play!
2. When you rst turn I-DOG on, it will be in puppy mode. This
means it has not yet established a personality because it hasn’t
been “fed” any of your music.
You can give I-DOG love and
attention, however, it is best to
“feed” it music as soon
as possible.
3. When you are nished playing
with I-DOG, press and hold
down the Nose Button for 5
seconds to turn it OFF. I-DOG
will play an LED animation and
sound to signal that it’s going
to sleep.

To keep I-DOG happy, be sure to give it plenty of love and
attention. Do this by “petting” or waving your hand over the top
of its head and watch it respond with warm glowing LED light
patterns. You can also press its Nose Button and it will make a
scratching sound effect while displaying a spinning LED light
pattern. Double-click its Nose Button quickly and repeatedly
to hear music that represents what personality I-DOG currently
has. If I-DOG doesn’t play a musical riff in return, that means it
doesn’t yet have a personality.
If I-DOG needs more love
and attention from you, its
middle LED light will blink
a pinkish/purplish color.
The faster it blinks, the more
urgently it needs your attention.
When you see the middle LED
light blinking purple, “pet” or
wave your hand over the top
of its head or press its Nose
Button right away to show
you care!

To keep I-DOG satised and healthy, be sure to “feed” (play) it
lots of music! (At least 5 minutes every hour.)
If I-DOG is hungry and needs more music from you, its
middle LED light will blink blue. It will blink faster as it gets
hungrier. When you see the middle LED light blinking blue,
“feed” it some music!

Start playing music on your musical device (CD player, stereo,
portable personal music player, computer, video game system
etc.). Its ears will perk up to show you that it’s listening and its
head and ears will periodically dance to the music. Observe the
color of the lights to determine what personality it’s showing you
and the ashing LED light patterns and animations to determine
what mood it’s in. (Personalities and Moods are covered on
pages 10-13.)
