Hasbro TIGER Poo-Chi User manual

SET UP
Poo-Chi will play the best on a smooth, flat surface. Make certain that the area
is clear of obstacles so Poo-Chi can stand, sit and dance on his tiptoes!
Poo-Chi should be played indoors.
POO-CHI’S SENSORS
Poo-Chi is very unpredictable. Activate one of Poo-Chi’s sensors to see what
he will do! Poo-Chi has three sensors: light sensor, sound sensor and a touch
sensor.
POO-CHI’S EYES
Poo-Chi’s eyes are very expressive. Poo-Chi’s eyes will tell you if he is happy,
sad, sleepy and that he loves you! Poo-chi can even blink!
POO-CHI’S BONE
Poo-Chi loves to be cared for and the more you take care of Poo-Chi, the
happier he will be. Feed Poo-Chi by holding the middle of the bone in front
of Poo-Chi’s mouth. Poo-Chi will respond with happy eyes, wagging tail and
a special eating sound.
- Do not place the bone INSIDE of
Poo-Chi’s mouth – hold the bone in
front of Poo-Chi’s mouth to simulate
feeding.
- Poo-Chi’s bone does NOT require
batteries.
- Do not attempt to open the bone.
- Avoid placing the bone close to any
magnetic-sensitive object like a
cassette tape, video tape, magnetic
disk, credit card, etc.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Battery installation
should be done by an adult. Always
install the batteries correctly according
to the positive (+) and negative (-)

emotions through his bright expressive eyes, flapping ears and wagging tail.

LISTEN TO A SONG
To listen to one of Poo-Chi’s favorite songs, please follow the sequence below:
1. Wait until Poo-Chi stops moving.
2. Hold your hand completely over
Poo-Chi’s nose.
3. While still holding your hand over
Poo-Chi’s nose, press the head button
5 times quickly (you must press the
head button 5 times within 2 seconds).
Poo-Chi will then sit down.
4. Wait until you hear 3 short beeps,
remove your hand, then quickly press
the head button again as follows:
- press the head button 1 times to hear Wedding March
- press the head button 2 times to hear Camptown Races
- press the head button 3 times to hear Bingo
- press the head button 4 times to hear I’ve Been Working on the Railroad

- press the head button 6 times to hear When the Saints go Marching In
After each song is finished, Poo-Chi will return to his normal mode. To hear
another song, begin with step 1 above.
SLEEPING
Because Poo-Chi is a puppy, he needs his sleep. Just like a real puppy,
Poo-Chi will fall asleep when it is dark or when no one is playing with him.
When Poo-Chi gets tired, he will sit down and his eyes will flash and close.
You may even hear a little snore!
Sometimes it takes Poo-Chi a long time to fall asleep. First, he will make
noises to try to get your attention. His eyes may even start to flash, depending
on his mood. If he doesn’t get your attention after 3 minutes, he will sit down
and snore. Then if he still doesn’t get your attention after the snoring, he will
fall into a deep sleep.
To wake up Poo-Chi when he is in a deep sleep, press his head button.
If Poo-Chi was sad when he fell asleep, it may take him a little while to
completely wake up so you may need to press his head button more than
once. If Poo-Chi was happy when he fell asleep, he will quickly wake up.
COMMUNICATING WITH ANOTHER POO-CHI
Poo-Chi will communicate with other Poo-Chi dogs. To begin communication,
please follow the sequence below:
1. Place two Poo-Chi’s so they face each other and are approximately
6”-12” apart.
2. Wait for both dogs to stop moving.
3. Press the head button ONCE on BOTH DOGS at the SAME TIME.
4. The dogs will begin to speak. If they like each other, they will sing a song
together. If they don’t like each other, they will growl at one another.
5. Poo-Chi dogs will automatically return to normal play mode after they
communicate for approximately 2 minutes.
6. If you want Poo-Chi dogs to communicate again, begin with Step 1 above.
RESET
Press the RESET button only if Poo-Chi’s
movements seem to be malfunctioning.
To press the RESET button, turn Poo-Chi
upside down and press the RESET
button located inside Poo-Chi’s upper jaw,
inside his mouth.
Press the RESET button once with a
ball-point pen. Do not press the RESET
button with any sharp instrument.

mouth or press his head button.
