Dear Parent, 

At VTech®, we know that every year, children are asking to play video games at younger 

and younger ages. At the same time, we understand the hesitation of most parents to expose 

their children to the inappropriate content of many popular video games. How can parents 

responsibly allow their children to play these games, and still educate and entertain them in 

a healthy, age-appropriate manner? 

Our answer to this question is V-Motion Active Learning System! A big breakthrough for junior 

gamers, V-Motion takes educational video gaming to a whole new level with a motionactivated 

gaming system that engages both active minds and bodies. 

V-Motion plugs directly into the TV to provide kids with a high-tech gaming experience 

using thrilling, age-appropriate learning games and a motion-activated, intuitive wireless 

controller. The V-Motion Active Learning System engages children with two modes of play: the 

Learning Adventure - an exciting exploratory journey in which learning concepts are seamlessly 

integrated, and the Learning Zone - a series of games designed to focus on specific skills in a fun, 

engaging way. Each Smartridge game encourages active gaming while giving kids’ minds a 

workout, too, as they learn basic math, reading, science, spelling and more. 

In addition to the action-packed Smartridge game play, the V-Motion includes the V.Link 

(USB drive) that connects kids to VTech®’s secure online site to unlock bonus games and track 

their scores against other gamers. 

At VTech®, we are proud to provide parents with a much-needed solution to the video game 

dilemma, as well as another innovative way for children to learn while having fun. We 

thank you for trusting VTech® with the important job of helping your child explore a new 

world of learning! 

Sincerely, 

Julia Fitzgerald 

Vice President, Marketing 

VTech Electronics, NA

CARE & MAINTENANCE 

1. Keep your V. mOtION clean by wiping it with a slightly damp cloth. 

Never use solvents or abrasives. 

2. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from direct sources of heat. 

3. Remove the batteries when not using it for an extended period of time. 

4. Avoid dropping it. NEVER try to dismantle it. 

5. Always keep the V. mOtION away from water. 

WARNING 

A very small percentage of the public, due to an existing condition, may 

experience epileptic seizures or momentary loss of consciousness when 

viewing certain types of flashing colors or patterns, especially on television. 

While the V. mOtION Active Learning System does not contribute 

to any additional risks, we do recommend that parents supervise their 

children while they play video games. If your child experiences dizziness, 

altered vision, disorientation, or convulsions, discontinue use immediately 

and consult your physician. Please note that focusing on a television 

screen at close range and handling a joystick for a prolonged period of 

time may cause fatigue or discomfort. We recommend that children take 

a 15-minute break for every hour of play.
