This JIVE POD™ unit lets you turn your music into a game! The lights
flash in time with the beat and your challenge is to press the correct
Game Button as it lights up. There are three (3) levels of difficulty
for you to choose from. Within each level, the game becomes more
challenging the longer you play.
There’s also a non-game Light Show Mode if you simply want to
watch the lights flash to the beat of your music.

HOW TO PLAY
Your challenge: press the corner buttons as they light up.
1. Press the center button once to turn on your JIVE
POD. Press it again to start the game.
2. Watch the light move with the beat of the
music, out from the center toward one of the
four corners. As the light reaches a particular
corner, press that corner button with your
finger.
3. Wait for the game to send another light
toward a different corner. When that light
reaches a corner, press its button.
TIP: If you are
using your own
music, start a
song on your
personal music
player now. (If
you don’t start
your music player
within 10 seconds
of starting your
game, JIVE POD
will play its own
onboard music).
Note: If you don’t
start a game within
15 seconds of turning
on the JIVE POD, it will
automatically shut off to
conserve battery life.

As you play longer, the game becomes more challenging. The lights
will continue to flash to the beat of the music, but they’ll advance
to the corners much faster so you’ll have to press the buttons
faster. When you advance to Level 3, you might even have to press
2 buttons at the same time!
At the end of each round, the JIVE POD game will tell you how
you did by flashing 1 or more rows of light. The more rows you
see flashing, the better you did! You’ll also hear your score: If you
did poorly, you’ll hear a “booing” sound; if you did OK, you’ll hear
moderate applause; and if you did very well, you’ll hear a lot of
applause!
Didn’t see/hear your score? Maybe you didn’t play long enough
— you need to play for at least 30 seconds for the game to register
a score for you.
To turn off your JIVE POD: press and hold center button
for 3 seconds.
To quit the game or the light show (see “Activating the Light
Show”), press and release the center button.

ACTIVATING THE LIGHT SHOW
You can also connect your personal music player (not included) and
watch how your JIVE POD unit responds! Plug in your music player
to the Input Jack. Press the center button once to turn on your
JIVE POD. After about 10 seconds, the light show will start and the
lights will flash to your music.
The JIVE POD will automatically shut down from this mode after 60
minutes with no button presses.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the product begins acting erratically, press the Reset Button and/
or change the batteries.
If the JIVE POD does not recognize your personal music, try turning
up the volume on your music player.
