can miss. Then it will be the other monster’s turn.

Item

If you choose an item, your first item in inventory comes up on the screen. Scroll through your inventory until you find the item you want. Just make sure you choose an item that is compatible with the type of monster you are using (you know, Tech, Power or Magic). And remember, you only get to use an item once. Then it gets zapped back to whatever UPC-A code you found it in.

Secret Flux Hint: Sometimes you get an unlabeled potion as an item. Be VERY careful before you let your monster drink it. Sometimes it’s good, but sometimes it’s poison!

Switch

You can rearrange the order of your team during a battle. But be careful, when you choose the switch option, you lose a turn and possibly miss out on the advantage of a first strike.

Using a combination of items and attacks, battle the opposing monsters until all three monsters on one team are knocked out. If the opposing monsters lose, their molecules are once again scattered and are returned to their original UPC-A codes. If your monsters lose, they remain trapped in your controller but are either knocked out or poisoned until you can heal them. See “Healing Your Monsters” below.

Battling A Friend’s Collection of Monsters

From the Main Menu, both you and your friend choose the “V.S.” feature and place your controllers against each other, connecting the tabs and slots at the top of them, making sure that they snap together.

This is just like battling incompatible monsters from random UPC-A codes. However, if your opponent’s team loses, his or her monsters still remain trapped inside the controller. They’re knocked out, but trapped.

Secret Flux Hint: If you break away from a friend’s controller during a battle, you have 10 seconds to restore the connection before you lose the game. You will still retain the monsters you have collected, but your battle will be over.

Healing Your Monsters

After many battles, even the best of us get our monsters knocked out once in a while. Keep the Radica UPC-A (bar code) from your Skannerz package. The only way that your monsters can be healed is by scanning a UPC-A (bar code) from any Radica Game package. If your monster is knocked out, it is not active and the “KO” symbol will flash at the bottom of your screen. Choose “heal” from the Main Menu. The knocked out monsters show on the screen automatically. Press the On • A button and scan any Radica UPC-A.

Secret Flux Hint: The Bar Code on the back cover of your Skannerz comic book will heal your monsters.

Secret Flux Hint: Keep a log of what codes generated each monster and item. You may

need to find them again if you reset your scanner.

Sleep Mode

After 60 seconds of inactivity, your controller will automatically go into “sleep mode”. To turn it on again, simply press the On • A button and the controller will return to the last screen you were viewing.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You have 30 seconds to change batteries without losing your stored data. Your SKANNERZ controller must be in sleep mode when changing batteries or you will lose all of your stored monsters and items.
