Radica 72045 - Manual

* IMPORTANT, SKANNERZ COMMANDER WILL NOT
WORK WITH ORIGINAL SKANNERZ.*

Still saving the universe, one monster at a
time!

Hi, this is Flux! I'm the one who first found out
that our world is being invaded by alien monsters
from another planet. While battling each other,
they destroyed their own world, so it's up to us to
make sure they don't do the same to Earth! All of
them are hiding in our Bar Codes just waiting for
the chance to strike, so I hope you're up to the
challenge. Remember, the fate of our world
depends on us!

So far, we've done a great job catching these
monsters and keeping them busy by having them
fight each other in the special controllers I
designed. Well… things have changed! I’ve
discovered all new monsters deep within the
codes that don’t follow old rules. These monsters
only look out for themselves and don’t care about
the old tribes. They want to start new tribes!

Now it's up to us to capture ALL of these
monsters and keep them busy by creating our
OWN tribes!

I'm going to guide you through the functions of
the NEW Skannerz controller I've designed. Stick
with me, and we'll make sure these creatures
don't have the chance to battle anyone except
each other!

What you need to know before you begin

By scanning bar codes from common household
products, this special Skannerz Commander unit
can collect up to 53 monsters and 25 items! The
monsters and items are devided into 3 categories:
Tech,Power and Magic but monsters can only use
items from the same category.

Many of the monsters will join your tribe
voluntarily, when you scan them. But many more
will refuse to join, and you must defeat them in
battle in order to add them to your tribe. Also, if
you banish a monster from your tribe, it will hold
a grudge against you and be harder to defeat the
next time you scan it.

Buttons and Features

direction of the Directional Pad to return to the
main menu at almost any time.

takes you back

one letter.

Let's Start Collecting Monsters!

From the Main Menu, select the "Scan" option.
The screen will read, "Ready to Scan" and the

Scanning Port

at the top of the game will become

active for 10 seconds.

Grab any household product that has a barcode
printed on it. It can be a box of cereal, a book, or
a new toy. You know, anything that has to be
scanned at a shop till point.

Place the

Scanning Port

directly onto the surface

of the product, to the left or the right of the bar
code, and slide it over the code from left to right
or right to left. When the code is read, the
controller will beep and a line with a "heart beat"
will appear. If it is a "small" heart beat, the code
wasn't scanned properly, try again. If a "large"
heart beat appears, you definitely picked up
something! If you get a "Flat Line", there's no sign
of life and you should select another product to
scan.

Secret Flux Hint:

Flat surfaces are the easiest to

scan. It takes more practice and skill to scan
round or odd-shaped surfaces. Just remember to
always keep the Scanning Port flat against the
surface when scanning. Skannerz works best with
full sized bar codes. See example below. You
may have difficulty scanning smaller bar codes.
