The 3 M oods O f Your Neopet:
Play Instructions:
It’s fun to play with Kougra! It’ll respond when you (1) press the TALK button (diagram B), (2) speak to it, (3) pick it up or place it
down. For full function regular play, set function selector to OFF for five seconds, then switch to PLAY position (diagram A3). The very first time the function
selector is set to PLAY, Kougra’s mood is set to Content. After playing for a while, and depending on how you treat your neopet, its mood may change to
Happy or Not-So-Happy. Try reading your friend’s happiness level by its lights (see The 3 Moods Of Your Neopet).
Kougra will respond every time you speak or press the TALK button. If there’s no command from you, it’ll try to catch your attention by making short
sounds and/or motions with lights. When it has been left idle for a while, it’ll yawn and go into ‘Sleep’ mode to save battery life. Press the TALK
button and it’ll wake up (to the mood prior to sleeping). You may also turn off the power by setting the function selector to OFF. To resume playing,
switch the selector to PLAY and press the TALK button.
A3. For full function regular use,
set function selector to OFF for
five seconds,
then switch to
PLAY position.
Playing With Two O r M ore Neopets:
(Each sold separately)
It’s lots of fun with more than one neopet! First, place the neopets close together (diagram D). When they’ve
stopped talking or moving, wait another second, then press any neopet’s TALK button and they will talk and interact with each other by responding to each other’s voices! (Note: If
the neopets are in sleep mode, press all their TALK buttons once to wake them up). You can join in by speaking to the group when the others have stopped talking or moving. The
neopets will continue chatting until they’re tired and go into sleep mode to rest. You may want to end the chatting before then to save battery life.
Hint:
Turn
power to OFF
to reset your neopet’s
mood back to
content.

Ask an adult to help unpack Kougra as shown (diagrams A1-A2). Your Voice Activated Neopet
comes with two ‘N’ batteries for Try Me store demonstrations only. Battery life may be impaired. We recommend replacing the batteries after purchase (see Battery Instructions).

Content
Speak to Kougra in a normal voice (not harsh or loud) and it’ll talk back, wiggle its ears and roll its head. You’ll know it’s content by the
two lights flashing simultaneously on its cheeks. Try not to chat for too long as your neopet will get tired and its mood may change. After talking for
twenty consecutive times, it’ll take a nap and go into sleep mode. Tip: Use short phrases and pick up Kougra to play often!
Happy
Talk softly to your magical neopet and it’ll be pleased. It’ll purr and giggle, wiggle its ears and move its head faster. Even the two lights
on its cheeks will seem to be dancing from left to right! Tip: The more you use a soft tone, the happier Kougra will be.
Not-So-Happy
Raise your voice to Kougra and it’ll be upset. It’ll roll its head and wiggle its ears disapprovingly. Its cheeks glow as it complains.
If you speak loudly three consecutive times, it’ll remain unhappy until you pick it up to play or talk to it in a normal or soft tone. Then, it’ll perk up
and return to its previous mood (content or happy). Tip: You may need to talk softly a few times to boost Kougra’s happiness level before it returns
to a happy mood again.
1. TALK Button:
Kougra loves to talk to you! With the function selector set to PLAY, press the TALK button (diagram B) and your neopet will talk with motion and lights. Its
reactions will depend on its current mood. For example, it’ll respond happily if in a happy mood. When you want to hear your neopet speak and watch it move (in its current
mood only), use the TALK button. Note: You can switch to voice activation anytime by speaking to your neopet (see Voice Activation).
2. Voice Activation:
Kougra can hear you and respond with sound, motion and lights! It’s easy! Place your neopet in front of you and speak to its hidden microphone (diagram
B) at a close distance. It’ll respond after you’ve started talking (approx. 4 seconds). To continue, wait until it has finished talking or moving before speaking to it again. Remember
to set the function selector to the PLAY position and make sure your neopet is not in sleep mode.
3. Picking Up/Placing Down Your Neopet:
Kougra is smart! It knows when you pick it up or place it down with the help of a sensor on the
bottom (diagram C). Every time you pick up your neopet, its happiness level rises! Its head moves faster as it makes happy sounds with light-up cheeks.
When you place it down, it’ll thank you with another special sound and reaction! Note: If you pick up Kougra but place it down almost immediately, it
will ignore the action. Similarly, if you place it down and pick it up again too quickly, it’ll ignore the motion.
