How to Play
Math Defender challenges you to shoot down the correct falling answer
without getting hit by the falling asteroids/obstacles and numbers.
An equation will be displayed on the screen.
Maneuver your spaceship right and left along the bottom of the
screen by moving the Rocker Wheel up (left) or down (right).
When you see the numbers for the correct answer, shoot them
down in the correct order, by pressing the Push Button A to fire
a laser or by pressing the Rocker Wheel.
If the correct answer is hit, you’ll earn points, and see the next
problem. If an incorrect answer is hit, you’ll lose points. If a
falling number or asteroid hits your ship, you’ll lose a ship. If
you lose 3 ships, the game ends.
What’s Being Taught?
This activity teaches children over 150 critical math skills for grades 1
to 4, from the basics (such as addition of single-digit numbers) to more
advanced math (such as dividing four-digit numbers by two-digit
numbers). As players progress through each level, they will master
equations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, division,
fractions and decimals.
Why is This Important?
C o p y r i g h t 2 0 0 5 , E n f o r a L . P .
3 1
Mathematics is vitally important to your child’s success in school and
beyond. Every child needs a solid foundation in basic computational
skills in order to succeed in higher-level mathematics and problem
solving. Mathematics plays a key role in subjects such as science and
social studies, and it has practical applications outside the classroom,
including work, hobbies, sports, travel, saving and spending money,
and more.

or left.
Press the top button (Push Button A) to grab a letter, or grab a

What’s Being Taught?
Monkey Spelling includes hundreds of grade-appropriate words that will
help children learn 75 spelling rules. Words are linked to hints that
reinforce key rules and skills. Kids start with short vowels and simple
words such as “bed” and progress through complex words such as
“pause” and “guest.”
Tip: If you spell the word incorrectly, listen for a hint!

Why is This Important?
Reading and writing are closely tied. Learning spelling patterns helps
children spell more words correctly, write more confidently, and decode
words more easily. Spelling patterns learned while playing with Monkey
Spelling will aid reading and writing progress.

The object of the game is to solve as many equations as possible
before time runs out! Listen to the equation and then move Turbo

announced, based on each player’s skill level.
Move the Rocker Wheel up or down to move Turbo Monkey left
or right.

Learning about geography, cultures, and history helps children
establish a sense of place and make connections between past events
and their own lives. Studying science helps children understand how
the natural world works, how their body functions and how natural
processes are like other processes. Studying social studies and
science encourages children to become active and curious learners.

Hangman
How to Play
Based on the classic game! Try to figure out the
hidden word by guessing letters one at a time. Guess
the word before you complete the Hangman--or face
the consequences. Choose from one of six grade
levels. Plus, parents can enter a custom spelling
list through the web interface at
http://www.mytictalk.com to reinforce their child’s weekly spelling
list.
Move the Rocker Wheel up or down to move through the
alphabet
Press the Rocker Wheel to guess the letter shown.
If the letter is in the word, it will be placed in the appropriate
blanks.
If the letter is not in the word, a part will be added to the
hangman.

What’s Being Taught?
In addition to teaching the spelling of actual words, Hangman helps
children learn and recognize spelling patterns common in the
language. In addition, parents can turn the game into a powerful
custom learning tool through uploading their child’s weekly spelling list
Why is This Important?
Reading and writing are closely tied. Learning spelling patterns helps
children spell more words correctly, write more confidently, and decode
words more easily. Spelling patterns learned while playing with
Hangman will aid reading and writing progress.

Safety Information for Wireless
Devices
RF Exposure
WARNING!
Please read this information before using your wireless device.
Your TicTalk phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the emissions limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy
for the general population. These guidelines are based on the safety
standards previously set by the U.S. and international standards
bodies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless RF devices, such as the TicTalk
phone, employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
SAR values at or below that limit are considered safe for the general
public.
Before a wireless RF device is made available for sale to the Public, it
must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the
SAR limits established by the FCC. Tests for SAR are conducted using
the positions and locations (e.g., at the ear or worn on the body) as
required by the FCC for each device model. The TicTalk phone has
C o p y r i g h t 2 0 0 5 , E n f o r a L . P .
7 1
been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used as
a speakerphone or with a standard 2.5 mm cell phone headset, or
when worn on the body using an approved belt clip. Other uses may
not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
CAUTION:
To minimize RF exposure, it is strongly recommended that you
use a headset or other approved hands-free accessory when
using your TicTalk phone.
Scientific Evidence on RF Exposure
The following information, in large part, is excerpted from, or based on,
information provided by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
on its website under the heading “Cell Phone Facts: Consumer
Information on Wireless Phones”
below reflects scientific evidence available through the end of 2004.
Please visit the aforementioned FDA website (and the other websites
mentioned below) for the latest information.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof,
however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones
emit low levels of RF while being used. They also emit very low levels
of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can
produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF
that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health
effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological
effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by
C o p y r i g h t 2 0 0 5 , E n f o r a L . P .
7 2
additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had
difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for
inconsistent results.
The FDA and other U.S. government agencies responsible for public
health and safety have worked together and in connection with the
World Health Organization (WHO) to monitor developments and
identify research needs related to RF biological effects. It is generally
agreed that further research is needed to determine what effects
actually occur and whether they are dangerous to people. In the
meantime, standards-setting organizations and government agencies
are continuing to monitor the latest scientific findings to determine
whether changes in safety limits are needed to protect human health.
In 1996, the WHO established the International EMF Project to review
the scientific literature and work towards resolution of health concerns
over the use of RF technology. The WHO maintains a web site that
provides extensive information on this project and about RF biological
If there is a risk from using wireless phones—and at this point the
scientific evidence does not demonstrate the existence of such a risk—
it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even
potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your
exposure to RF. Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a
person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless
phone will reduce RF exposure. If you must conduct extended
conversations by wireless phone every day, you could place more
distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the
exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you
could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body
or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.
C o p y r i g h t 2 0 0 5 , E n f o r a L . P .

Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised
that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For
example, the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets
containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that
no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or
other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by
children was strictly precautionary, and was not based on scientific
evidence that any health hazard exists. More recently, a report
published in January 2005 by the British National Radiological
Protection Board (NRPB) summarized the results of various studies
from 2000 to 2004 on the effects of wireless phone use, and concluded
that there is no hard evidence that the health of the public is being
harmed by the use of wireless phones, but that uncertainties remain
regarding the risks associated with long-term wireless phone use.
Therefore, the report suggested that a "precautionary or prudent
approach" to reducing RF exposure from wireless phones should be
followed until more is known about these potential risks, including the
potential increased sensitivity of children to RF. The report (NRPB-
W65) is available for download at the NRPB website (www.nrpb.org).
Again, the scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of
wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If you want to take
steps to lower exposure to RF, the measures described above would
apply to children and teenagers using wireless phones. Specifically,
reducing the time of wireless phone use and increasing the distance
between the user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.
The FDA scientific staff has reviewed the methodology used by FCC to
measure cell phone RF, and has agreed that it is an acceptable
approach, given our current understanding of the risks presented by
cellular phone RF emissions. RF emissions from cellular phones have
C o p y r i g h t 2 0 0 5 , E n f o r a L . P .
7 4
not been shown to present a risk of injury to the user when the
measured SAR is less than the safety limits set by FCC (SAR of 1.6
w/kg). The FDA will continue to monitor studies and literature reports
concerning acute effects of cell phone RF, and concerning chronic
effects of long-term exposure to cellular telephone RF (that is, the risks
from using a cell phone for many years). If new information leads FDA
to believe that a change to FCC’s measurement policy may be
appropriate, the FDA will contact the FCC, and both agencies will work
together to develop a mutually acceptable approach.

CAUTION:
Please follow all safety instructions outlined below. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury
and/or property damage.
Always obey all applicable regulations in any area where the TicTalk
phone may be used. Turn your phone off in areas where its use is
prohibited or where it may cause interference or danger to anyone.
Use of radio equipment is prohibited in hospitals and may interfere with
the use of medical equipment. Do not use the TicTalk phone in
hospitals or near medical equipment. The Health Industry
Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of
six inches (6”) be maintained between a handheld wireless device and
a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
When boarding a plane, follow all instructions of the flight crew on the
use of wireless devices. FCC regulations prohibit using your wireless
device during any air flight. Turn off your TicTalk phone during flight
and at all other times as requested by the flight crew.
Do not use the TicTalk phone in the vicinity of blasting areas where it
might interfere with remote control RF devices used to set off
explosives.
Although it is rare, wireless phones can generate sparks. Do not use or
store your TicTalk phone around flammable or explosive gas, liquids,
chemicals or any other such materials.
Certain jurisdictions prohibit the use of radio communication equipment
while driving to avoid distractions and prevent accidents. Do not use
C o p y r i g h t 2 0 0 5 , E n f o r a L . P .
7 7
the TicTalk phone while driving within those jurisdictions. In those other
jurisdictions where using a wireless phone while driving is permitted,
use an approved hands-free accessory when available, avoid using the
phone in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions, and do not
take notes, look up phone numbers or engage in stressful or emotional
conversations or any other activity while driving that might divert your
attention from the road.

Product Handling Instructions
Always hold your TicTalk phone with dry hands. Droplets of water may
cause it to short circuit or may otherwise cause permanent damage to
it. If your phone does become wet, immediately turn the power off.
Use and store your TicTalk phone in a dry environment and under
normal temperatures (0ºC to 40ºC or 32ºF to 104ºF). Do not use the
product in a damp or wet environment (e.g., fog, rain, shower or sauna)
or under extreme temperatures.
Do not place your TicTalk phone on an unstable surface or at a location
subject to strong vibration.
Never allow any metallic objects (e.g., staples or paper clips) to
become inserted into your TicTalk phone, as this could result in the
generation of excess heat or fire. The only exception to this rule would
be when you are removing the faceplate to add the Ring of Lights
accessory, as described in the Ring of Lights instructions.
Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, breaking or sitting on your TicTalk
phone.
Never attempt to disassemble, repair or modify your TicTalk phone, or
use it with non-approved accessories, as doing so may cause
permanent damage to the product and will void the applicable warranty.
Do not use your TicTalk phone in close proximity to inadequately
shielded electronic equipment, as RF signals from your TicTalk phone
may interfere with the operation of such equipment.
