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.
In this beginning mode, 1242 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
F
blinking his red and blue LEDs together.]
