The VTech First Responder Smart Rescue Set™ is an interactive playset designed to engage children in imaginative first responder play. The set includes a healthcare tablet and 15 play pieces, encouraging children to dress up as first responders and learn about healthcare.
Function Description:
The core of the playset is the interactive healthcare tablet, which features various buttons and modes to simulate medical scenarios. Children can use the tablet to identify symptoms, learn about human body parts, explore medical tools, and answer quiz questions to diagnose illnesses. The playset promotes understanding of common illnesses, the function of different body parts, and the use of medical instruments. It also includes a "First Responder Mode" with rescue voices and themed songs to enhance the role-playing experience.
Important Technical Specifications:
The device requires 2 AA batteries for operation. It is crucial to follow the battery installation instructions carefully, ensuring correct polarity and avoiding mixing old and new batteries or different types of batteries (alkaline, carbon-zinc, rechargeable). Rechargeable batteries should only be charged under adult supervision and removed from the toy before charging.
