PR18_manual_July_28 9/8/05 10:05 AM Page 4

Knowledge

For up-to-date World News, Amazing Facts and Earth Facts, choose an icon under the ‘Knowledge’column.

Each time you select an icon, you will hear a new piece of information. Updates are available; see “Using the

SmartGlobe™ with your PC” for details.

Sound options

Your SmartGlobe™ can be used in three different sound modes:

1. With the SmartPen’s™ built-in speaker

2. With the larger, louder speaker in the base; just use the speaker

cable to connect the pen to the speaker jack

3. With headphones connected to the SmartPen™

Note: Purchasing multiple SmartPens™ allows multiple users to

learn with one SmartGlobe™ at one time; we recommend using

headphones in this case.

Activities

Touch

Press the power button on the pen to begin. To learn about a country, choose one of the ‘Touch’ categories on

the activity panel (located on the base), and then point to a place on the globe. To learn about another category,

touch a different icon on the activity panel and touch the country again.

Compare

To compare two places’ distances, flying times, or exchange rates etc., choose a category under ‘Compare,’ and

then touch two countries on the globe one after the other. The SmartPen™ will even let you compare places on

the U.S. map with places on the main Globe. To use the U.S. map, push in the drawer at the bottom of the base

and it will open out, enough for you to pull it out by its sides. To close the drawer, press it back in until it clicks

again.

Note: The ‘Time’function will only work once you have registered and updated the SmartPen™; see page 6 for

instructions. Also, the exchange rates will be based on those automatically updated at the time of your last

download.

Find

To play a search game, choose a ‘Find’ category. The SmartGlobe™ will tell you to find certain places on the

map, and you must answer the questions as quickly as you can. Players try to win the most points within the

time limit of 90, 60, or 45 seconds, depending on the age group you have selected (ages 5-8 is the default age

group, with a 90 second limit). The “Ultimate Challenge” game is a combination of questions from all the other

categories.
