Hi, this is Barbie
®
and all the pets are missing! The silly magician made a mistake and
now the pets are hidden in UPC codes. You know, those codes on products that are
scanned at the checkout counter. What I need you to do is to go around and scan as
many UPC codes as you can find and see if you can collect all of the lost pets! Go on an
awesome adventure and help Barbie™ find treats and care for the lost pets with the
magic wand! Together, I know we can collect all of these lost pets!

GETTING STARTED
SCANNING
Now go to any household product that has a UPC bar code 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 store
checkout counter.
Place the tip of the SCANNING WAND directly ONTO THE SURFACE of the product (in
front or behind the bar code) and slide it over the code from left to right or right to left.
When the code is read, I'll let you know if you've found a Pet or an Object. I'll also know if
your scan didn't work.
HELPFUL 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
WAND flat against the surface when scanning. It works best with full sized bar codes. You
may have difficulty scanning smaller ones.
TAKING CARE OF YOUR PETS
Scanimals comes with one bow, one collar, one treat and the Pet Puzzle game. But once
you collect more pets, you'll want to take care of them and make them happy! Each pet
can have up to five HEARTS below it. The more Hearts a pet has, the happier it
becomes.You earn Hearts for your pets by taking care of them with combining baths,
treats, or by playing games with them.
To use any one of the Objects, first select your pet by pressing the PET button. Once you
see the pet you want to take care of, press the ACTION button. Keep pressing it until you
see the Object you want to use. To use it on your pet, press the ON / ENTER button. Now
you'll see how happy your pet can be!
TREATS
Some UPC codes have tasty treats inside them. You can collect and store up
to TEN treats at one time. Give your pets these special snacks to make them
very happy.
BATHS
Select the scrub brush to give your pet a bath. Once you find the Scrub Brush
in a UPC code, you may use it as often as you like.
BRUSHING
Pets love to be brushed, so keep scanning until you find the Brush! Once you
have it, you'll be able to brush your pets anytime you want!
COLLAR
Your pet will be very happy once it's wearing its new Collar! Keep scanning
until you find one. Then you'll be able to store as many as ten Collars at a time.
Just remember, you can only use ONE Collar on each pet. And after placing it
on your pet, you'll know your pet is wearing it by the tiny Collar on the screen
below it. Hopefully all your pets will be wearing them!
BOW
These pets will think they're the cutest things when they're wearing their brand
new Bows! Just like the Collars, you can only use one Bow per pet. And you
can only hold up to ten Bows at a time. You'll know they are wearing a Bow
by the tiny Bow at the bottom of your pets screen.
