Tiger Electronics Chirpy-Chi Instruction Manual

Ages 4 and up
Congratulations! With your new Chirpy-Chi™, you now have a special friend.
Chirpy-Chi is the Interactive Bird that loves to play, sing and chirp! He also
imitates other animal sounds as he gets older - see if you can tell which animal
he's imitating! Advanced biorhythmic technology enables Chirpy-Chi to have
many different moods and feelings, watch his eyes and his motions to see how
he is feeling. His biorhythms also enable him to grow and change from a baby
bird into a mature bird. Because Chirpy-Chi's behavior pattern does start as
a baby, it is very important to feed him and play with him often while he is still
"developing". This will help make Chirpy-Chi a happier bird as he grows up!

the area is clear of obstacles so Chirpy-Chi can flap and move freely.
Chirpy-Chi should be played with indoors.
CHIRPY-CHI'S SENSORS
Just like a real bird, Chirpy-Chi is very unpredictable. Activate one of his sensors
to see what he will do! Chirpy-Chi has five sensors: a light sensor, sound
sensor, and a touch sensor. He also has a magnetic sensor that allows him
to react to his corn feed toy, which will be described in the Corn Feed Toy
section, and an infrared sensor that enables Chirpy-Chi to play with other
Robo-Chi™ Pets. This function is described in the Communicating with other
Chirpy-Chi's and Robo-Chi Pets section of this guide.
To activate the Light sensor:
- Wait until Chirpy-Chi stops moving.
- Slowly pass your hand over the top of Chirpy-Chi's
nose (2 holes at the top of the nose)
When you move your hand away, Chirpy-Chi
will respond.
To activate the Sound sensor:
- Wait until Chirpy-Chi stops moving.
Clap your hands or make a loud noise.
Chirpy-Chi will respond.
To activate the Touch sensor (hair on Chirpy-Chi's head):
- Wait until Chirpy-Chi stops moving.
- Gently press the hair on top of Chirpy -Chi's head.
If you press his hair once, Chirpy-Chi will respond,
press twice and see what Chirpy-Chi will do. You can
press his hair up to 5 times and Chirpy-Chi will respond
in many different ways! Many of Chirpy-Chi's responses
are affected by his biorhythmic level, the more you
play with him, the happier he will be!

CHIRPY-CHI'S BIORHYTHM
Graphs shown below represent the 8 biorhythmic levels of Chirpy-Chi. Each
level lasts about 30 minutes and determines Chirpy-Chi's mood and behaviors.
For example, when Chirpy-Chi is in level 1 he will be unhappy almost all the
time and will have sad eyes. In level 8 Chirpy-Chi will be happy almost all the
time and will sing one of over 40 songs that he sings!
Remember: If Chirpy-Chi is sad, it's easy to make him happy again by playing
with him. Don't forget, Chirpy-Chi has many different sensors that need attention!
(Refer to Chirpy-Chi's Sensors section).
Level 1: Chirpy-Chi is very unhappy and needs much care and affection.
Level 2: Chirpy-Chi is still sad, maybe feeding him his Corn Feed Toy will help!
Level 3: Remember to watch Chirpy-Chi's eyes, they tell you how he feels.
Level 4: Getting happier, Chirpy-Chi might start imitating other animals!
Level 5: Chirpy-Chi hears when you clap or say "Pretty Bird!"
Level 6 (Home position): Chirpy-Chi starts at this level when reset.
Level 7: Chirpy-Chi is very happy, he might even sing you a special song!
Level 8: Congratulations, you are a top flight Chirpy-Chi owner!
