3. Insert the adaptor plug into the unit’s adaptor jack.

4. Plug the adaptor into a wall outlet.

5. Turn the unit ON.

In the U.S.A.: Many retailers carry this type of adaptor. However, if you are unable

to find one locally, the AC Adaptor is perfectly suited to operate your Monster Fun

learning laptop. For information on how to purchase a AC Adaptor, call our Consumer

Services Department at 1-800-521-2010 in the U.S. or 1-800-267-7377 in Canada.

267-7377 in Canada.

MOUSE CONNECTION

DETACHING THE MOUSE FROM THE MAIN UNIT.

Please note that the mouse should not be detached completely from the unit. It

has a retractable cord and is intended to be used attached to the unit.

1. Locate the mouse on the back of the unit.

2. Lift the back end of the mouse away from the main unit.

3. Gently pull the mouse cord out until fully extended.

RETURNING THE MOUSE TO THE MAIN UNIT

1. Place mouse cord carefully back inside the main unit.

2. Click the mouse securely back into the storage area.

MOUSE OVERVIEW

Once the mouse is free from the unit you may move the mouse cursor around the

screen freely. The mouse has a roller ball in it and therefore should be used on a

flat surface. A mouse pad is ideal, but you may also try a piece of paper, a notebook

or a magazine. A clean flat surface is important to be able to use your mouse effectively.

Your mouse is very easy to use. To use the mouse, push it in the direction that

you would like the pointer on the screen to move. To move the pointer to the

right side of the screen, push the mouse to the right. To move the pointer to the

left side of the screen, push the mouse to the left. To move the pointer to the top

of the screen, push the mouse away from you. To move the pointer to the bottom

of the screen, pull the mouse towards you.

MOUSE MAINTENANCE

To clean the mouse, you need to open the cover on the

bottom of the mouse by using a screwdriver. Twisting in

the direction of the arrows will release the cover. Once

the cover is removed, the mouse ball should be taken out

and the contents inside the mouse should be cleaned with

a dry cloth. The mouse ball should also be cleaned with

a dry cloth. Once you have finished cleaning the mouse,

place the mouse ball back into the mouse and screw the

cover back onto the mouse.

VOLUME SWITCH

Adjust the volume by sliding the Volume Switch to the right to

raise the volume and to the left to lower the volume.

LURKING

LETTERS

CONTRAST SWITCH

Adjust the image on the screen by sliding the Contrast Switch

to the right for higher contrast and to the left for lower contrast.

AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF

If there is no input into the Monster Fun learning toy for about 8 minutes, the learning

toy will automatically shut itself off to save power. To turn the unit back on after

an automatic shut off, you will need to press the ON button again to restart the learning

toy. If the Monster Fun learning toy is not going to be used for a long period of

time, we recommend that you remove the batteries and unplug the adaptor.
