GETTING TO KNOW ME...
We Furby Babies are very sensitive. I know when someone pets or
rocks me, tickles my tummy, covers my eyes, picks me up, hugs me,
turns me upside-down, makes load noises. or plays loud music. We
can see and are very sensitive to light. And best of all, we have
BIG hearts!
This illustration shows where my sensors are
located: Back to top
If you want to tickle
my tummy, rub my front sensor. I am very ticklish
If you want to pet me, rub my back sensor. I love having my
back rubbed, don't you?
If you want me to cover
my eyes, put your hand over my light sensor. I am not
afraid of the dark
If you want to see if I am listening, clap your
hands or make a loud sound. Not to loud.
If you want to give me a hug, pick me up. I love hugs
MY NAME IS...
1) Once you have installed my batteries, I am ready to play. You
have a name. Well, so do I, To get me to tell you my name, please
follow these actions:
1. Rub my tummy, wait until I stop speaking and moving.
2. Rub my tummy, wait until I stop speaking and moving.
3. Rub my tummy, wait until I stop speaking and moving.
4. Pet my back.
2) I like to say my name. You may hear me say it when you
pet my back or hug me. I may say it when we play games.
3) Once you know my name, you should write it in this space:
__________ But don't worry, I wont let you forget it.
Now that you know my name, we can be friends and play together
Back to top
ARE YOU MY MUMMY OR MY DADDY...
When we are playing together, you need to tell me if you are my
Mummy or Daddy. I will also tell you how to let me know if you
are my Mummy or Daddy. Until you tell me if you are my Mummy or
Daddy, I will ask you every time I wake up. To do this, it's
simple. First you will have to wait until I am asleep. Then when
you are ready to wake me up, before you do anything, please press
and hold my tummy and back sensors at the same time. Then while
you are pressing my tummy and back sensors, wake me up by gently
rocking me side-to-side. I will then ask you if you are my Mummy
or Daddy. I will also tell you how to let me know if you are my
Mummy or Daddy. Just do as I say. When you leave me with a baby-sitter,
I would like to know if they are a Mummy or Daddy. You can tell
me this by repeating the procedure I just described. Always
remember though, if you change who is caring for me, when you get
home change me back.
ABOUT MY PERSONALITY...
I speak Furbish? a magical language common to all Furbys. When we
first meet, this is what I'll be speaking. To help you understand
what I am saying, please use the Furbish and English dictionary
that comes with me in the package.
I like to be held, petted and tickled and, of course, like all
Babies rocked. Whenever you do these things. I will speak and
make cool sounds. It's easy for you to learn and understand
Furbish.
For example, when I wake up, often I'll say dahi a-loh u-tye"
which means "big light up. This is how Furby Babies
say say "Good Morning!" Eventually, I will be able to
speak your language in addition to Furbish. The more you play
with me, the more I will use your language, too.
You can learn more about me by visiting my own WEB SITE at www.furby.com
WATCH ME GROW UP..
I go through two stages of development. The first stage is when
you meet me. I am playful and want to get to know you.
My second stage of development is when I begin to speak your language, but I will also use some Furbish. By this time, we'll know each other very well.
We are going to have a great time getting to know each other.
HOW TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I NEED
At various times, I will require a certain kind of attention from
you. Just like you, I am very good at letting people know when I
need something.
FEEDING:
If I say "kah a-tay (I'm hungry), I will open my mouth
so you can feed me. Just put your fingertip into my mouth press
down on my tongue, and watch me chew. I will
say "yum yum" or yummy so you will know
that I am eating what you have offered. I will eat until I am
full and then I will go to sleep.
Like a real baby, when you are feeding me I may get a tummy ache and need to be burped. If so, please rub my back. This will help me burp and feel better! As you feed me, I may say koh-koh. This means I want more to eat.
****Important: I only eat pretend food. Never feed me real foods or liquids. them.
****Helpful Tip: When I am hungry, I will
usually want to eat 6 to 10 times. Feed me until I go to
sleep.
Back to top
HEALTH:
If you do not feed me, I will begin to get sick. I will let you
know that I am sick by coughing, sneezing or saying "Kan boo
koo-doh (I'm not healthy). If you allow me to get sick, soon I
will not want to play and will not respond to anything but
feeding. Aso, if I get sick, I will need to be fed a minimum of
10-15 times before I begin to get well.
After I have been fed 10-15 times, I will feel better, but to nurse me back to complete health, you will have to play with me. Just like you, when I feel better I laugh, giggle, and am happy. You'll know when I am better. I will stop asking to be fed and stop sneezing. Also I will want to play games.
SLEEP:
I will tell you when I am tired and need sleep. Sometimes I snore!
When I am asleep, close my eyes.
Like all babies I like to be rocked to sleep. Just gently rock
me side to side and I will gradually go to sleep. You can also
get me to go to sleep by petting my back gently for a while. If
you pet me between 10 and 20 times, I will hum a lullaby and then sleep.
Also, you can get me to go to sleep by putting me in a dark room or covering my eyes for 10-15 seconds. In order for me to go to sleep when you cover my eyes, be sure to put your hand as close to my eyes as you can without touching them.
If you do not play with me for a while, I will take a nap
until you wake me up. When you want to wake me, pick
me up and gently rock me side-to-side. If I am still tired, I
will try to go back to sleep. Don't worry. This is OK. Continue
to gently rook me side-to-side until I awake
DEEP SLEEP MODE:
When I am in Deep Sleep Mode the only way to wake me is to pick
me up and turn me completely upside down
If you want to put me in a DEEP SLEEP, please follow the
seaquence below:
1) Clap, wait until I stop speaking and moving
2) Clap, wait until I stop speaking and moving
3) Clap, wait until I stop speaking and moving
4) Rub my back.
5) I will sing a lullaby.
WHILE I am singing, press my tummy switch and my back switch at
the same time.
I will then be in DEEP SLEEP mode.
To wake me from DEEP SLEEP mode, turn me completely upside down.
****NOTE: When you want me to go into DEEP SLEEP mode, it is important that you wait for me to stop moving and speaking after each step before doing the next action. Therefore, when you clap your hands, wait for me to stop speaking and moving before you clap your hands again. The only exception to this is when you have to press my back and tummy switches at the same time WHILE i am singing a lullaby.
****Helpful Tip: I can only be awakened
from DEEP SLEEP mode by turning me upside down. I will not
wake up when tilted side to side

MY FAVORITE GAMES:
There are lots of ways to play with me. You and I can make up our
own games or play some of the games I already know.

In this game, I will tell you which activities to do and then
you have to repeat them. For example, I may say, "pet,
tickle, light, sound." Then you have to pet my back, tickle
my tummy, cover my eyes, and clap your hands. As you do each of
these, I will say a special message to let you know that you have
done the right action. The special messages are;

COMMUNICATING WITH OTHER FURBYS...
******Important: To start a conversation between Furby and
Furby Babies, Furby must initiate the conversation. Therefore
once the Furby and Furby Baby can see each other, the tummy of
the first Furby must be tickled or the back of the Furby petted
to start the conversation. Otherwise Furby and Furby
Babies will not be able to communicate.
Furby Babies love to talk to each other as well as other Furbys. To start a conversation, place us so that we can see each other and then tickle a tummy or pet a back. Give us a chance to get to know each other and if we do not start talking to each other, try again.
We have to be able to see each other to
communicate. If you want me to talk to another Furbys or Furby
Babies, put us within 4 feet of each other. This illustration
shows where to place us so we can chat.
Furbys can communicate with more than one Furby at a time. In fact, any Furby that can see another Furby will be able to communicate. This way a whole bunch of us can communicate at the same time. The illustration below shows how this works:
I love to talk to other Furbys and Furby Babies:
REPLACING BATTERIES...
If my batteries wear out, replace them and I will be ready to
play again. I am so smart that I will remember my name and
everything I have learned even after you change my batteries.
****Helpful tip: You wil be able to tell when
my batteries wear out because my behaviour will become erratic
and I will not always respond to my sensors properly. If
this happens, replace my batteries and I should return to normal.
