Getting to know your Cub
Now that you’ve adopted your own WowWee Alive Cub, it’s time to get to know him better.
Alive Cub’s basic features
The Cub has a moving mouth and eyes that blink and respond. He also makes an array of baby animal sounds.
He is equipped with a touch sensor on his head, and one on his back. He also has a tilt sensor which can tell him when he’s turned over or upright.

Powering ON/OFF the first time
The Cub’s main power switch is located on his belly which you can access through the flap beneath in his fur. The switch has three settings: Try Me,
OFF , and Normal.
NOTE: You will only need to access the main power switch when you first use him and/or when you change his batteries. After that, you can turn him on or off using his quick power switch (see the section Powering ON/OFF in
normal play).

Powering ON/OFF in normal play / Volume control / Sleep Mode
Powering ON/OFF in normal play
The Cub’s quick power button is located on his right ear. Once you set (rather than switch) the power switch to Normal setting, your Cub should automaticallly be in normal play mode when turned on. To turn him on after he powers down and enters
Sleep Mode:
• Ensure the main power switch is set to Normal. Locate the quick power button and press it once.
NOTE: If you press it more than once after switching it to the Normal setting, you will be toggling the volume levels.
To turn him OFF:
• Locate the quick power button and hold it down for about 3 seconds.
Volume control
You can adjust the volume to high or low on the Cub’s right ear using the quick power switch to toggle the levels. To do so:
• Press the quick power button once to toggle between high and low volume levels
Sleep Mode
To conserve batteries, the Cub will go to into Sleep Mode after about 5 minutes if you leave him unattended. He will close his eyes and purr for about 5 minutes in
Sleep Mode if continued to be left unattended, after which he will power down to save batteries.
When you want to wake him from Sleep Mode, interact with him by touching his head or his back, or you can press the buttons on either ear.
NOTE: You should turn the Cub off after he enters Sleep Mode if you are not going to play with him after he goes to sleep.
The Cub reacts like a real animal cub – he will squeal, growl and purr, as well as blink, and smile.
Powering ON/OFF in normal play / Volume control / Sleep Mode Playing with the Cub / Important safety information
When you first turn him on, he will open his eyes , open and close his mouth,
and then make a wake up sound. After that, he is ready to play with you!
Scratch or pet his head to see how he reacts. You can also stroke him on his back and feel his “bones”!
Turn him over on his back and he’ll react. Turn him upright again to see what he does.
Be careful though – if you touch him or turn him over too many times, he might get annoyed and growl at you!
Spend some time to get to know your Cub by cuddling up with him and giving him affection!
NOTE: When you are done playing with him, make sure you turn him off.
Important safety information
Take note of the following when playing with the Cub:
• Avoid putting articles of clothing on him as it might inhibit the proper functioning of his sensors.
• Do not immerse the Cub or any parts of him in water or any other form of liquid.
• Do not drop, throw, or kick the Cub as this might damage his mechanical functions.
• If his fur becomes dirty, you can clean it using a clean cloth slightly dampened with warm water.
• Do not jam anything into his mouth or into his eyes.

FAQs
FAQs
Q. My Cub seems to be moving and responding slower than normal… what’s wrong?
A.
You probably need to change the batteries in the Cub. Refer to the Battery
details section for information on battery requirements and installation.
Q. My Cub speaks more quietly than normal… how do I fix that?
A.
Either you have the Cub’s volume levels set at low (see the section Volume
control), or you probably need to change the batteries in the Cub. Refer to the
Battery details section for information on battery requirements and installation.
Note that when you turn him on his back, his volume level automatically lowers if it is set to high volume level. When you put him upright again, his volume level should return to high volume if he was already at high volume.
Q . The Cub’s facial animations have stopped and he just purrs… what’s wrong?
A. Your Cub is probably in Sleep Mode. To wake him from Sleep Mode, pick him up or touch him on his head or back, or press on his quick power button on either ear once.
Q . The Cub seems to say only 4 different things… what’s wrong?
A. Your Cub is probably in Try Me power setting. See the section Powering ON/OFF
the first time for how to set him in Normal play setting.
