Try Me and Normal settings
Try Me setting
When you first remove the Cub from his packaging, the
switch will be set to Try Me. The Try Me function is used for
demonstrating basic functions.
Normal setting
When you want to play with him and access
all his functions, you need to first set the
switch to the OFF setting, and then wait
3 seconds before moving it to the normal
position or setting it in the normal position.
IMPORTANT: When switching between Try Me and Normal power settings, you
need to set the switch to OFF first, and then wait 3 seconds before changing the
power setting. If you do not wait after switching the Cub to the OFF setting, he will
remain in the previous power setting.
NOTE: In Normal power setting, the Try Me button becomes a button sensor
located on his right ear. You can use this button to activate his cub behaviors, just
as you would by scratching his head!

Getting to know your Cub
Now that you’ve adopted your own WowWee Alive™ Cub, it’s time to get to know
him better.
Alive™ Cub’s basic features
The Cub has a moving mouth and eyes that blink and respond. He also makes an
array of baby animal sounds.
He is equipped with a touch sensor on his head. He also has a tilt sensor which can
tell him when he’s turned over or upright.
Getting to know your Cub
Powering ON/OFF the first time
The Cub’s main power switch is located on his belly which you can access
through the flap beneath in his fur. The switch has three settings: Try Me,
OFF, and Normal.
NOTE: You will only need to access the main power switch when you first
use him and/or when you change his batteries. After that, you can turn him
on or off using his quick power switch (see the section Powering ON/OFF in
normal play).

Getting to know your Cub
Powering ON/OFF in normal play
The Cub’s quick power button is located on his right ear. Once you set (rather than
switch) the power switch to Normal setting, your Cub
should automaticallly be in normal play mode when
turned on. To turn him on after he powers down and
enters Sleep Mode:
• Ensure the main power switch is set to Normal.
Locate the quick power button and press it once.
NOTE: If you press it more than once after switching it to
the Normal setting, you will be toggling the volume levels.
To turn him OFF:
• Hold quick power button down for about 10 seconds or set the power switch
to OFF position.
Volume control
You can adjust the volume to high or low on the Cub’s right ear using the quick
power switch to toggle the levels. To do so:
• Hold quick power button down for about 3 seconds.
Sleep Mode
To conserve batteries, the Cub will go into Sleep Mode after about 5 minutes if
you leave him unattended. He will close his eyes and purr for about 5 minutes in
Sleep Mode if continued to be left unattended, after which he will power down to
save batteries.
When you want to wake him from Sleep Mode, press the button on his right ear.
The Cub reacts like a real animal cub – he will make baby animal sounds, blink his
eyes and move his mouth.

Playing with the Cub
8
When you first turn him on, he will open his eyes , open and close his
mouth , and then make a wake up sound. After that, he is ready to play
with you!
Scratch or pet his head to see how he reacts. You can also quickly press his right
ear for more reaction!
Turn him over on his back and he’ll react. Turn him upright again to see what he does.
Be careful though – if you touch him or turn him over too many times, he might
get annoyed and growl at you!
Spend some time to get to know your Cub by cuddling up with him and giving
him affection!
NOTE: When you are done playing with him, make sure you turn him off by holding
his right ear for about 10 seconds or set the power switch to OFF position.

FAQs
FAQs
Q. My Cub seems to be moving and responding slower than normal… what’s wrong?
A. You probably need to change the batteries in the Cub. Refer to the Battery
details section for information on battery requirements and installation.
Q. My Cub speaks more quietly than normal… how do I fix that?
A. Either you have the Cub’s volume levels set at low (see the section Volume
control), or you probably need to change the batteries in the Cub. Refer to the
Battery details section for information on battery requirements and installation.
Note that when you turn him on his back, his volume level automatically lowers
if it is set to high volume level. When you put him upright again, his volume level
should return to high volume if he was already at high volume.
Q. The Cub’s facial animations have stopped and he just purrs… what’s wrong?
A. Your Cub is probably in Sleep Mode. To wake him from Sleep Mode, press his
right ear.
Q. The Cub seems to say only 4 different things… what’s wrong?
A. Your Cub is probably in Try Me power setting. See the section Powering
ON/OFF the first time for how to set him in Normal play setting.
