switch to OFF, waiting a few seconds, then sliding it back to ON.

screen. Be sure to replace the batteries right away, especially if you notice that the movements
of the onscreen feet seem to be lagging behind the movements of your actual feet.

HOW TO “STEP” THROUGH MENUS
Your feet are represented onscreen by two foot outlines. (As a bonus: when you clear
several songs, other types of “feet” will be unlocked for you to choose from.) You
can select menu options by moving your foot outlines over the menu options and
“stepping” on them as directed. Please note that you can use either foot to select a
menu option. You may need to let your foot outline rest on the menu item for a few
seconds to select it.
The onscreen foot outlines are colored to let you know which foot they represent:
green
