Manual of Instructions
For ages 6 and over
Battery requirements:
Size "AA" "UM3" "R6"alkaline batteries x 2 (No other type of battery should be used)
When playing for the first time after purchase, or after
a long interval, the battery power may be weak. Even after recharging, the running
time can be relatively short. The battery will gradually regain power after 2 or 3 repeti-
tions of usage and recharging. Also, if you keep the iBoat power switch turned ON for
a long time, the battery power will be discharged. Make sure to turn OFF the power
switch immediately after use.
