Operation:

• Use alkaline batteries only (e.g. Duracell or Energizer brand). Do not use rechargeable batteries or any other type of batteries because they supply lower voltage and the unit will not perform properly. Never mix old and new batteries together or different brands or types together.
• The battery compartment is located under the bottom of the Control Consol. To remove the battery compartment cover, carefully turn the unit over, and then pull the cover off. Next undo the Velcro battery retaining strap. Install new batteries, being careful to observe proper battery polarity. Set the ON OFF switch to ON, redo strap and replace cover.
• This is the Classic Etch A Sketch drawing toy which we have motorized. Push one of the two yellow Button switches to make the lines go up or down (indicated by the directional arrows). Push one of the 2 Red Button switches to make the lines go right or left (indicated by the directional arrows). 
• If you push one of the Yellow and Red Button switches together, you can make a triangle, circle; or different angles.
• The Etch A Sketch can be taken off its base so you can clear the screen. To do this carefully tilt and pull up on the Etch A Sketch from the top. The Etch A Sketch is held in place by Velcro.
• There are 4 external switch input jacks on the sides of the unit so other switches can be used in place of the built in Button switches. There is also a picture holder in the center of the base.
