Download the app and follow the instructions. Turn on Pechat by pressing and holding the power button. You can use it by connecting your smartphone's Bluetooth to Pechat. I bought it because I wanted to see the surprised look on my child's face when the stuffed animal started talking. After purchasing, I read the instruction manual, tried it out once, but ended up not using it and have kept it carefully stored. The main unit, outer box, charging cord, and instruction manual are all included. Operation has been confirmed. This is the old, first-generation model, so I believe it is a rare item. First come, first served.
