THE BOT-STER S BIORHYTHM
BATTERY INSTALLATION
The graphs shown below represent the 8 biorhythm levels of The Bot-Ster.
Each level lasts about 30 minutes and determines his feelings and behavior.
For example, when he is in level 1 he will be unhappy or mad most of the time,
and will probably show you his mad face a lot. In level 8, he will be happy
almost all of the time.
IMPORTANT: Battery installation should
be done by an adult. Always install the
batteries correctly according to the positive
(+) and negative (-) signs on the batteries
matching them up with the diagram inside
the battery compartment.
Remember: If The Bot-Ster is mad, you can make him happy again by playing
with him. Don’t forget, he has three different sensors that need attention! (Refer
to the SENSOR section.)
1. Turn The Bot-Ster over and unscrew
and remove the battery compartment
door on the bottom of the product.
2. Insert 3 “AAA”/LR03 batteries as shown inside the battery compartment.
3. Re-attach the battery compartment door and fasten the screw.
Level 1: The Bot-Ster is very mad and needs lots of care and affection.
Happy
4. Press the RESET button located on The Bot-Ster’s back (see RESET
section for more details).
Unhappy
Level 2: The Bot-Ster is still mad, maybe giving him a burst from his energy
cell will help!
NOTE: The Bot-Ster will begin to move as soon as you install the batteries.
There is no on/off switch. To turn him off, either remove the batteries or see
the section titled “SLEEP”.
Happy
HELPFUL TIP: The Bot-Ster is a mechanical, robotic toy.
The mechanical sound you hear when he moves is normal.

COMMUNICATING WITH OTHER ROBO-CHI FRIENDS
TROUBLESHOOTING
The Bot-ster will communicate with other Robo-Chi friends. To begin
communication, please follow the sequence below:
The Bot-Ster is designed to provide hours of fun play. If The Bot-Ster becomes
erratic and you are having trouble, check to make certain that The Bot-Ster has
fresh batteries and then call Tiger Electronics’ Customer Service Department
at 1-800-844-3733.
1. Place two Robo-Chi friends so they face each other and are approximately
6" - 12" apart.
2. Wait for both to stop moving.
If you can’t see The Bot-Ster’s eyes, he may be asleep (see section titled
“SLEEPING”) or check to make certain there are fresh batteries.
3. Press the head button ONCE on EACH ROBO-CHI at the SAME TIME.
4. They will begin to communicate. If they are happy, they will sing together.
If not, they may not act like they are communicating at all.
5. The Robo-Chi friends will automatically return to normal play mode after
they communicate.
You can wake up The Bot-Ster by pressing the head sensor. If The Bot-Ster
was sad when he fell asleep, it may take multiple head presses to wake up
The Bot-Ster. If The Bot-Ster was happy when he fell asleep, it will be easier
to wake up The Bot-Ster.
6. If you want them to communicate again, you begin with Step 1 above.

SLEEPING
The Bot-Ster needs his sleep. He will fall asleep when it is dark or when no
one is playing with him. When The Bot-Ster gets tired, he will tell you. He will
begin to make a snoring sound right before he falls asleep.

gives you specific rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state.
Sometimes it takes The Bot-Ster a long time to fall asleep. First, he will try to
get your attention. If he doesn’t get your attention after 3 minutes, he will power
down and snore. Then if he still doesn’t get your attention after the snoring,
he will fall into a deep sleep.
