You are a proud owner of R2-02, an R2-series astromech utility droid from Industrial flutomaton, the galaay's finest maker of service automatons, and distributed here on Earth by Hasbro. This droid is ready to obey certain commands, play games, and assist you on your ledi missions. This particular R2 unit comes from the peaceful world of laboo, where he and a team of astromechs served Oueen flmidala aboard her Royal Starship. R2-02 has seen and taken part in many amazing adventures. He fought valiantly alongside both Rnakin and Luke Skywalker, aided the Old Republic during the clone luars, and was instrumental to the Rebellion against the Empire during the Galactic Civil War.

R2's vocabulary of electronic beeps and whistles doesn't stop this droid from trying to communicate luith human masters; he understands certain commands, and usually manages to get his points across, too! To get started, simply follotu the instructions of this manual. Please be aluare that R2 is an especially feisty astromech; luhen not treated luell, he tuill let you know about it! But if you treat R2-02 with the same loyalty and dedication that he will give to you, this little droid may help you to follow in the footsteps of the illustrious ledi masters! lNS1lllllnQ NTEE: BCTRS I 1 Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the huo 1 captive screws that secure the battery doer in back, and remove the door. 2.)

R2 will turn his dome around qRa badb, auund and- bad, w n d n g the mud, before finally choesing one person by locking onto that psrson, Rasliing his &it b a n and playing a song! Recommended for up to 6 players. For best results, then shaull be a dear gap lnheen each player. The Command mode is the most advanced of the three mad&. It involves directing R2'sgovements and navigating him through courses and obstacles. The voice commands in this mode are more complen, and without clear direction R2-D2 can easily become confused. You should go into this mode only after you've familiarized yourself with the Companion and Game modes. Real-Time Maneuvering: In Command mode you give R2-D2 a series of commands then ask him to emecute the series. Say "Hey, R2!" to start, then say "Command Wode!" Continue by giving him any one of the directions beloe. Finally, qualib your command by specifying a distance from one to five units: "Turn around!" [no distance command required] "60 forward!" [Then: "One unit", "two units". .. up to five) "Turn right!" (Then: "One unit", "two units". .. up to five) "Turn left!" flhtn: "One unit", "hvo units". .. up to five) Important note: llRer each command, be sure to wait for R2's acknowledging beep before giving him the nent command. For emample: say "Hey 12" {"beep"), say "Command mode! {"beep"), say "GO forward" rbeep"), say "Three units!" {"beep"). R2 will carry out your command by moving in the direction and the distance you told him to! In this way, you can keep giving R2 individual commands to help him navigate tricky corners and obstacle-laden courses. [The length of each unit varies on different moors. Try different commands until you get a sense of how R2 moves on a particular floor covering.] If R2 is prevented @omcompleting this command by an obstacle, he will abort the command and complain! Programming Courses: You can also program and store a series of commands and ask R2 to execute the series all at once. To do this, say "Hey, R2!", then "Command mode!", then "Plot course!" Give R2 several commands as described above, i.e. each command consisting of a direction and a distance. Once you've completed a series, say n~xecutecourse!" and R2-Dt will do just that! Remember to wait for R2's acknowledging beep after each command before giving him another command. If you reach the maximum number of commands that R2's memory banks can hold [about twenty], R2 will launch into the series immediately. I n y time you want to erase a command series, simply say "Plot course then say "Delete course!" R2 will remain in Command mode, but will delete the stored series. [It is not possible to delete just one command in a series, only the entire course.] Bbo, if you turn R2 off manually, he will wipe the course from his memory. Remember, at any time, you can say "Re-set system!" to bring R2 back to his Companion mode. This will not delete the stored course. The many leveb of R2-D2's programming will ensure lots of fun and discovery with this loyal, lovable, multi-talented droid. Have fun! RZ on HIS on u "STflIIDBYm SETTIIIG: 1.1 R2 will automatically revert to his batteryrconserving "Standby" setting if he is unable to find someone to interact with for several minutes [for emaeple, if he can't find anyone during Light Tag, or when he's on patrol]. When reverting to this mode, his red LED will flash on and off, then turn off completely. While in Standby, R2 will "wake up" when you talk directly to him, when he senses motion in front of him, or when you tap him gently on the head. 2.1 You may aho put R2 into "Standby" setting directly by saying "Switch off!" rhen he is in Command mode. 3.1 If you will not be playing with R2-D2 for emtended periods of time [more than twa or three days], it is recommended that you manually turn his master Power Control to the "OFF" position. L TROUBLESHOOTln6: If R2-D2 starts responding sluggishly, it is likely that his batteries need to be replaced. In general, if his motion is sluggish even on flat surfaces or his lights seem dim, the "D" batteries need to be replaced; most other types of trouble [sounds, recognition] indicate that the 'fltl" batteries need replacement. If R2 shuts off during play, or right after you turn him on, replace the "RR" batteries. Bright light, or temperatures above 77 F or below 65 F may disorient R2; under these conditions, , he may have trouble seeing and finding people as usual. If you place an object in R2-02's utility arm that is too large or too heavy, he rillnot be able to move properly; simply remove the item, and he will return to normal function. If any of R2's parts [for instance, his steering legs] come off durin) play or r h e n he is dropped, simply follou the assembly instructions in this manual to re-assemble the part[s].

However, we strongly recommend you use R2-D2 indoors only. never use 1242 near stairs, unless the stairs are protected. R2-02 is unable to dotect or navigate stairs and may fall down stairs and become damaged if not protected. Use on tabletops only in the wheel-lock setting. R2-02 ma! fall from table and become damaged if wheels are not locked. You can keep R2 out of trouble by placing simple barriers in his path like sheets of cardboard. I s long as it is something solid and is as tall or taller than R2, his sonar will usually detect it.

Rfter you turn the master Power Control Switch on, A2 luill need to warm up for 30-45 seconds. You will know he's warming up because his Droid mood Status Indicator will Hash between red and blue. During that time, he will not fully respond to your commands. 3. Press Wheel Lock Control button to unlock wheels [glows red when wheels are locked). NEVER use R2-D2 near stairs or on a table UNLESS R2's wheels are locked. Communicating With R2 It can take some time to get used to communicatinghith 12. Following are some tips to help you get started. Refer to the manual for more detailed information. 1. R2 responds best when in a quiet environment. 2. Speak slo~ulyand clearly so R2 understands you. 3. Leave time betlueen each command so A2 can acknowledge you with a beep. For example: Say 'He( Ill"...R2 will respond with a series of "beeps". Then say u6am~ Ilhdem.. .beeps.. .Ihen say %no Prognu/. ' 4. A2 may start talking or moving luithout a command from you. B i s may happen because: - R2 likes to talk - He did not understand you - He is responding to other sounds or voices in the room. 5. R2 cannot hear you luhen he is moving or speaking. Helpful HinIS time yau will understand that R2's different beeps and whistles will r e p r ~ e nyes, no, or I don't With t understand. If you aren't sure wlht A2 is saying, use the commands below. 1. A great way to get A2 to stop r h a t he is doing is by tapping him on the head to interrupt him. 2. Use the "Reset System" command as often as needed to get R2 back to Companion mode. This is a great way to start any new commands or if you are not sure what mode R2 is in. Important: NEVER use R2 outside. flnd NEVER use R2 near stairs or on a table UlllESS R2's luheels are locked.
