QUICK START

To play a game right away, simply follow these steps!

1Open the battery cover and insert three “AAA” (AM4/R03) alkaline batteries, making sure to observe the correct polarity.

2Remove the stylus from the storage area on the right-hand side of the unit, as shown here.

3Press GO/STOP to turn the computer on. If you get no response, reset the unit as noted in Section 11.1.

4Press NEW GAME twice, in quick succession, to reset the computer. If the board doesn’t reset for a new game of chess, you’ve taken too long between keypresses. Just try again.

5Enter moves by pressing the stylus gently on the from and to squares for each move. Note that you may also use your fingertip.

6When the computer displays its move, its piece will flash briefly on the from and to squares, and the move will then be made on the board. Now, it’s your turn again!
