This document describes the Perplexus™ Death Star™, a maze-based toy designed for individuals aged 8 and above. The toy's primary function is to challenge users to master a complex maze, with the ultimate goal of "destroying the Death Star."

Function Description

The Perplexus Death Star is an interactive puzzle toy that requires players to guide a small ball through an intricate, three-dimensional maze contained within a spherical structure resembling the iconic Death Star from Star Wars. The objective is to navigate the ball through a series of obstacles, twists, turns, and drops without letting it fall off the track. The successful completion of the maze signifies "destroying the Death Star." The toy incorporates electronic features, including an on/off switch and battery-powered operation, which may enable light or sound effects, although these are not explicitly detailed in the provided text. The device is designed to be engaging and challenging, promoting problem-solving skills and hand-eye coordination.

Usage Features

Getting Started:

To begin playing, users must first remove and discard any plastic demo tab that may be attached to the unit. The toy is activated by moving the on/off switch to the "ON" (I) position. After play, the switch should be moved to the "OFF" (0) position to conserve battery life.

Sleep Mode:

The Perplexus Death Star features an automatic sleep mode. If the unit remains stationary for 20 seconds, it will enter sleep mode to save power. To wake the unit up and resume play, users simply need to pick it up or agitate it.

Battery Installation:

The toy requires three AAA (LR03) alkaline batteries for operation. Battery installation is a straightforward process:

1. Locate the battery door and open it using a Phillips-head screwdriver (not included).
2. Insert the three AAA (LR03) batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated by the diagram in the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment door and tighten the screw to secure it.

Safety Warnings:

The manual includes several important safety warnings to ensure proper and safe use of the toy:

• Seizure Warning: While rare, light flashes from the toy could potentially trigger seizures. To minimize this risk, users are advised to play in a well-lit room and to avoid flashing lights directly into their eyes.
• Magnet Warning: The product contains a small magnet. Swallowed magnets can be dangerous as they can stick together across intestines, causing serious injuries. Immediate medical attention is required if magnet(s) are swallowed.
• Choking Hazard: The toy contains small parts and small balls, making it unsuitable for children under 3 years of age due to the choking risk.

FCC Compliance:

The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules, meaning it is designed not to cause harmful interference and to accept any interference received. Users are advised that any changes, adjustments, or modifications to the unit, particularly to transmitter components, must be expressly approved by Spin Master Ltd. to avoid voiding the user's authority to operate the equipment. In case of interference with radio or television reception, troubleshooting steps include reorienting the antenna, increasing separation between the toy and the radio/TV, or consulting a technician.

Maintenance Features

Battery Maintenance:

Proper battery maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the toy:

• Battery Type: Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended (3 x AAA LR03 alkaline) should be used.
• Adult Supervision: Battery replacement must be performed by adults.
• Polarity: Always follow the polarity (+/-) diagram when inserting batteries.
• Disposal: Promptly remove dead batteries from the toy and dispose of them properly.
• Storage: Remove batteries for prolonged storage to prevent leakage and damage.
• Avoid Mixing: Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries (e.g., alkaline/standard).
• Rechargeable Batteries: Non-rechargeable batteries should not be recharged. If using rechargeable batteries, they must be removed from the toy before charging and should only be charged under adult supervision.
• No Incineration/Fire: Do not incinerate used batteries or dispose of them in fire, as they may explode or leak.
• No Short-Circuiting: Do not short-circuit the supply terminals.

The manual emphasizes environmentally responsible disposal of the product at the end of its useful life:

• Separate Collection: The product should not be disposed of with other household waste. It must be collected separately as "waste electrical and electronic equipment" (WEEE).
• Recycling Benefits: Separate collection and recycling ensure that the product is treated using the best available recovery and recycling techniques, minimizing environmental impact, reducing resource consumption, and preventing landfill use.
