Hasbro 84895 - Manual (Page 5)

Say: "Behave yourself!"
When R2 gets in a bad mood, his mood status indicator light turns red and he may not
respond to your commands. This command will put him back in a content mood!
Say: "Timeout!"
And he’ll turn away, find the corner of the room and stand there like he’s in trouble! (When
he does this, R2 may complain just a bit, or sneak a peek over his shoulder. But when he’s
finished complaining, he will go to sleep.) Since R2 does not like being "punished," he usually
refuses to move at first (by shaking his head). However, you can make him obey by saying
"Behave yourself!" and repeating "Timeout!"
Say: "Do you remember…?"
And then wait for R2 to acknowledge your question with a beep. Then ask him about any of
these famous friends (or enemies):
∑ …Luke Skywalker?∑ …Anakin?∑ …C-3PO?∑ …Darth Vader? ∑ …Princess Leia?∑ …Obi-Wan?∑
…Han Solo?∑ …Padme´∑ …Chewbacca?∑ …Jabba the Hutt?
Every name will provoke a different response depending on how R2 feels about that particular
character! Be sure to speak slowly and clearly and pause between your commands.
Say: "Re-set system!"
R2 will return to the beginning of his Companion Mode.

R2-D2 has three major function modes:
1.) COMPANION MODE (Pages 7–8)
2.) GAME MODE (Page 9)
3.) COMMAND MODE (Pages 10 – 11)
Within each of these modes, there are many functions to explore. This manual will take you through
almost all of R2-D2’s actions and responses, but you’ll discover more as you become more familiar
with this droid; for as long as you own him, your droid will continue to surprise you with what he
has to say!
Remember to save this manual for as long as you have your R2 unit! The separate "Command Card"
is also invaluable as a reminder of the many commands and phrases that help you interact with
R2-D2. This card can be kept in R2’s storage compartment.
COMPANION MODE DIRECTIONS
In this beginning mode, R2-D2 is his usual friendly and playful self. He loves your companionship,
and loves to respond to certain commands you give him.
Stand or sit directly in front of R2 (ideally from about 2 feet, and no more than 6 feet, away), and
speak clearly toward the speech sensor on the front of his body. (R2 will indicate that he is
listening to you by blinking his red and blue LEDs together.)
Say: "Hey, R2!"
R2-D2 will turn his head towards you and whistle to indicate he is ready for the next
command!
Remember: Always say "Hey, R2!" before giving him a command!
Then, in no particular order, you can communicate with R2 by saying any of the following
phrases:
Say: "Don’t move!"
And he’ll remain stationary until you give him another command. (Otherwise, he may start
roaming on his own!)
Say: "Go on patrol!"
And he’ll patrol the room for trouble. R2 will beep if he finds someone and wait for a
command! If he beeps and no further commands are issued, he’ll keep on patrolling. (Again,
be sure to keep him away from stairs during this function!)
Say: "Light beam!"
To turn his front beam on! Say it again to turn it off.
Say: "Play Message!"
And he’ll play a message that is stored in his memory banks from a past mission!
Say: "Be quiet!"
And he’ll execute his commands without beeping or whistling (except for his "yes" or "no"
sounds to indicate that he has understood your commands)!
Say: "Speak up!"
And he’ll start talking again!
