Petster Manual
From the Owner's Manual and Training Guide
The Introduction
Congratulations! You are now the proud new owner of the world's first electronic pet--Petster! I am frisky, obedient, attentive, and always ready to play. I'll be your pet and your companion as you explore the exciting new world of electronic pets.
Please, let's get off to a good start. Read this brief Owner's Manual thoroughly before letting me run loose in my new home. This will keep both of us from getting confused.
These instructions are all you will need to start playing with me, but you'll be learning lots more about Petster behavior as the two of us get to know each other better--because I'm a Petster and I have a mind of my own.
Feeding Your Petster
I'll probably be famished when you first bring me home. To perk me up, feed me four "C" batteries.
Giving Petster Commands
Ready-to-Play Mode
Asleep--If I hear no sounds for about 10 seconds, I will circle around a few times, turn off my flashing eyes and fall into my Asleep mode.
Come Here--When I hear one handclap I turn in the direction of the sound and move forward.
Go Away--When I hear two handclaps I turn away from the sound and move forward.
Obey--When I hear three claps I can be guided across the room with additional clap command: one clap-move forward, two claps-turn left, three claps-turn right and four claps-back up.
Go Play Mode
When you turn on the Go Play switch, I know that I am free to run around all by myself.
Games to Play with Petster
There are many kinds of games that I can play with you. Here are some I like to play: Fetch, Petster Golf, Petster Tag, Petster Freeze Tag, Petster Soccer, Pied Petster, Petster Says, Petster Pickup and Petster Obstacle Course, but if you think up some of your own and teach them to me, I'd love to play them with you.
Pied Petster
All players line up behind me. Put me into Go Play. Follow me around the room, doing just as I do. Anyone that goofs up is out of the game until only one person is left.

When Petster Gets Sick
Axlon, Incorporated offers an inexpensive "hospitalization" service for all Petsters that become damaged, worn, or otherwise ill. For a flat fee of $9.00, Axlon will fix or replace your Petster given that its problems result from normal use. Axlon will not treat Petsters that have been abused.
Warning
The behavior of all Petsters is the responsibility of the owner! For example, neither the Petster nor the Petster's manufacturer can be liable for the consequences of allowing your Petster to run free near your priceless Ming vase or near an unprotected fireplace. And please keep your Petster from playing too near the top of a flight of stairs.
