How to Turn On a Furby

An Original Furby

Open up the battery door underneath your Furby. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver to do this correctly.

Insert four AA batteries into Furby's battery compartment. Two go in the actual Furby's compartment, and the other two go inside the compartment in the battery door.

If your Furby is new in box, restart it for it to turn on. To do this, hold down Furby's tongue switch. As you do this, use something small, such as a pen, to press down the reset button on the bottom of your Furby. After you do this, close the battery door. If your Furby wasn't new in box, than there is no need to do this.

Screw in Furby's battery door. Make sure the screw isn't too tight, as it could become stripped.

Now Furby is ready to play!

Undo the velcro underneath Furby. This will expose the battery compartment.

Using a Phillips head screwdriver, unscrew the battery door. It should come completely off.

Insert four AA batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure they are all facing the correct way, as they will be standing up in the compartment.

Screw in the battery door. Make sure that the two little tabs are in their right place. If they aren't, the battery compartment won't screw in correctly.

If your Furby was new in box, restart it before you can play with him. To do this, press and hold down Furby's tongue switch. As you do this, switch Furby's on/off switch to the "on" position. If your Furby wasn't new in box, then there is no need to do this.

Now Furby is ready to play with you!
