INTRODUCTION / GETTING STARTED
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Chuggington! It’s training time! Help Wilson, Brewster and
Koko earn their badges! Play the challenges to unlock the secret chuggers
in the Chugger Showroom! Ready? Let’s ride the rails!
GETTING STARTED
Insert the Cartridge
Make sure the unit is turned off. Insert the MobiGoTM cartridge with the
label side facing up, and push it until it clicks into place. Press the ON
button to turn on MobiGoTM.
User Profile
Personalize your MobiGoTM by entering your name and creating a user
profile. The profile stores your progress and high score information, which
can then be uploaded to the web. However, only one user profile can be
stored at a time. Other users can still play the MobiGoTM by touching the
guest icon on the profile screen, but their records will not be saved.
To select your user profile, touch your name on the profile screen. To
change the profile name, touch the ABC button.
Basic Operation
The easiest and most common way to play with your MobiGoTM is by
using the touch screen. However, there are also a few important hard
keys that you’ll need to use from time to time.

WEB CONNECTIVITY / CARE & MAINTENANCE
WEB CONNECTIVITY
Connect MobiGoTM to the internet to download new games and follow
your child’s learning progress online. Refer to the MobiGoTM console
manual for connection details.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
1. Keep your MobiGoTM clean by wiping it with a slightly damp cloth.
Never use solvents or abrasives.
2. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from direct sources of heat.
3. Remove the batteries when not using it for an extended period of
time.
4. Avoid dropping it. NEVER try to dismantle it.
5. Always keep MobiGoTM away from water.
WARNING
A very small percentage of the public, due to an existing
condition, may experience epileptic seizures or momentary loss
of consciousness when viewing certain types of flashing colors or
patterns. While the MobiGoTM Touch Learning System does not
contribute to any additional risks, we do recommend that parents
supervise their children while they play video games. If your child
experiences dizziness, altered vision, disorientation, or convulsions,
discontinue use immediately and consult your physician. Please
note that focusing on an LCD screen at close range and handling
directional pad controls for a prolonged period of time may cause
fatigue or discomfort. We recommend that children take a 15 minute
break for every hour of play.
WARNING: All packing materials, such as tape, plastic sheets,
packaging locks and tags are not part of this toy, and
should be discarded for your child’s safety.
ATTENTION Pour la sécurité de votre enfant, débarrassez-vous de
tous les produits d’emballage tels que rubans adhésifs,
feuilles de plastique, attaches et étiquettes. Ils ne font pas
partie du jouet.
Note: Please keep the user’s manual as it contains important information.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Please note that if you try to insert or remove a MobiGoTM cartridge
without first turning the unit OFF, you may experience a malfunction. If
this happens, and the unit does not respond to pressing the ON/OFF
buttons, disconnect the AC adaptor from the main unit or remove the
batteries. Then, reconnect the adaptor, or reinstall the batteries.
