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!  
Reset button - When a blunt point is inserted, this  
resets the controller to its original settings. JUST  
REMEMBER, WHEN YOU PRESS THIS  
BUTTON, ALL YOUR MONSTERS AND PLAYER  
DATA IS CLEARED.  
Sleep Mode - After 60 seconds of inactivity, your  
controller will automatically go into "sleep mode".  
To turn it on again, simply press the On - A  
Button and the controller will return to the last  
screen you were viewing.  
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!  
Getting Started  
First, you will be prompted to enter your name into  
your controller. Using the Directional Pad, toggle  
through the alphabet and select the letters using  
the On - A Button. The B Button takes you back  
one letter.  
Now it's up to us to capture ALL of these  
monsters and keep them busy by creating our  
OWN tribes!  
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.  
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!  
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.  
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.  
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.

Directional Pad - This four-way button helps you  
scroll through things like: the Main Menu, your  
collection of monsters, and your inventory of  
items. It also lets you pan across a monster  
pictured in your view screen (when a monster is  
selected).  
Secret Flux Hint: You can press the "left"  
direction of the Directional Pad to return to the  
main menu at almost any time.  
 
Battling Scanned Monsters  
get to use an item once. Then it gets zapped  
back to whatever UPC code you found it in. So  
choose your item wisely and keep your item bar  
codes.  
Secret Flux Hint: Sometimes you get an  
unlabeled potion as an item. Be VERY careful  
before you let your monster drink it. Sometimes  
it's good, but sometimes it's poison!  
Battling A Friend's Collection Of Monsters  
From the main menu, both you and your friend  
choose the "V.S." feature and place your  
controllers against each other, connecting the tabs  
and slots at the top, making sure they snap  
together.  
If you scan a Battle Scan Monster or a Grudge  
Match Monster while you have at least three  
active monsters of your own, an "alarm" will  
sound and you will need to battle the intruding  
monsters. These guys are tricky. Once you scan a  
battle-hungry monster into your controller, it uses  
its limited power to summon two other monsters  
from nearby barcodes to fight along side it. So be  
careful!  
This is just like battling monsters from random  
barcodes. However, the winner gets to take a  
monster from the looser. The winner will get a list  
of all of the loser's monsters on that team. Use  
the Directional Pad to scroll through them and  
pick one. Once the monster is chosen; use the  
On - A Button to add that monster to your tribe.  
Secret Flux Hint: Before the battle begins, you  
will be given the choice to either fight or run away.  
If you only have a few monsters or most of them  
are weak, you may want to run away so you can  
fight again another day! Don’t forget if you don’t  
battle your monsters they won’t get stronger.  
Secret Flux Hint: If you break away from a  
friend's controller during a battle, you have 10  
seconds to restore the connection before you lose  
the game.  
New Battle Strategy!  
After you've assembled your team, the controller  
will show you the battlefield. The monsters will  
each be represented by their class symbol (Tech,  
Power, or Magic as mentioned before).  
Healing Your Monsters  
After many battles, even the best of us get our  
monsters knocked out once in a while. Keep the  
Radica bar code from your Skannerz package.  
The barcode for your Skannerz package and  
those found on all Radica products will heal  
the monsters.  
Your team  
is on the  
If your monster is knocked out, it is not active and  
the "KO" symbol will flash at the bottom of your  
screen. Choose "HEAL" from the main menu.  
The knocked out monsters show on the screen  
automatically. Press the On - A Button and scan  
any Radica UPC.  
bottom.  
Opponent’s  
team is on  
the top.  
Use the Directional Pad to move left and right to  
highlight the monster you wish to send into battle  
first. When the correct monster is highlighted,  
press the On - A Button to make the selection.  
Secret Flux Hint: The Bar Code at the end of this  
instruction manual will heal your monsters as well!  
You may also want to keep a log of what codes  
generated each monster and item. You may need  
to find them again if you reset your scanner.  
Secret Flux Hint: When your chosen monster's  
"stats" appear (showing it's hit points), remember  
that monster's number is in the top corner. When  
it's time to fight, you'll need that number to deliver  
a special "Combo Move"!  
Sleep Mode:  
After 60 seconds of inactivity, your controller will  
automatically go into “sleep mode”. To turn it on  
again, simply press the On-A Button and the  
controller will return to the last screen you were  
viewing.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  
You have 30 seconds to change  
batteries without losing your  
stored data. Your SKANNERZ  
controller must be in sleep  
mode when changing batteries  
or you will lose all of your stored  
monsters and items.  
Just before and as you battle, you will see a  
screen with your opponent's strength, your  
strength, and a timer. As the timer counts, it's up  
to you to press the On - A Button at the right  
time. If you hit the On - A Button on your  
monster's number, you will give it a "Combo  
Move" during his attack. If you hit the On - A  
Button on your opponent's monster's number,  
you will give your monster a "Mega Block" during  
their attack. There are also many other  
BATTERY INSTALLATION:  
This product is powered by three (3) AAA  
batteries. Cross Reference LR03 for these  
batteries.  
Using a screwdriver, loosen the screw until the  
battery compartment door on the back of  
product can be removed.  
Insert three (3) AAA batteries (we recommend

combinations, some of which let you use items or  
choose attacks. Be sure to get a "hit" or a "miss,"  
or even get back some lost Hit Points! Check out  
the skannerz.com website for battle moves.  
In Skannerz Commander there are higher risks. If  
you loose a monster it will be taken from your  
team. If you win, you get to claim the scanned  
monster and add him to your tribe. You can also  
choose to banish him back to where he came  
from!  
Items  
ADULT SUPERVISION IS RECOMMENDED  
WHEN CHANGING BATTERIES.  
If you get to choose an item, your first item in  
inventory comes up on the screen. Scroll through  
your inventory until you find the item you want.
