Dear Parent,
You know how important learning the fundamentals is to your
child’s future. As a parent, you take the most critical role in
establishing an active learning environment. And nowadays toys
have become a very important part of that environment. So we are
excited to announce that VTech® has developed Zip Zap™ .
Zip Zap™ directly responds to what children do naturally—play!
Zip Zap™ uses Radio Frequency technology to enable your child
to interact with friends from up to 30 feet away. Your child will
enjoy the thrill of creating and sending customized e-cards and
messages, as well as playing fun games, either alone or with a friend.
While playing, your child will learn age-appropriate concepts like
spelling, math and vocabulary. Additionally Zip Zap™ develops
your child’s problem solving skills and logical ability with fun
arcade-style action games.
At VTech®, we know that a child has the ability to do great things.
That’s why all of our electronic learning products are uniquely
designed to develop a child’s mind and allow them to learn to the
best of their ability. We thank you for trusting VTech® with the
important job of helping your child learn and succeed!
Sincerely,

LCD screen.
In Multiplayer mode, you can draw or invite
other players to create drawings together.
Only one player can draw at a time.
When one player is holding down the Write button and drawing on
the pad, it will appear on the other players’ LCD screens. During this
time, the on screen cursor of the other players will turn grey, indicating
they are not able to draw. Once the player who is drawing moves the

to draw, and the cursor will re-appear on their screens.

then move the stylus on the writing pad to erase the drawing. If you’d
like to erase the drawing all at once, hold the Erase button and press
the OK button. Other players will also see the drawing being erased
from their screen at the same time. Other players will not be able to
erase until the first player moves the stylus from the drawing pad and
the cursor re-appears on their screens.

To read old or new e-cards, select the

after the 3rd e-card will automatically replace one of the existing e-cards
in the save memory.
A word with a missing letter is shown,
then some letters will appear in the middle
one by one and disappear quickly. When
the correct letter that completes the word
appears, use the stylus and press on the
writing pad or press the OK button to
confirm your answer.
Activities
Activity 4 – Fast Hit
Activity 5 – Letter Hunt
An object and its word will be displayed
on the screen and then disappear. The
letters from this word are then hidden in
the dark and it’s up to you to find them
and spell the word in the correct order.
Move the stylus on the pad to search for
the letters with the flashlight, then press
OK or Write button when you’ve found a
letter, but make sure you place them in the
correct order.
12
Activity 6 – Counting Fun
Coins are falling! Some will make it into the
piggy bank, and others will miss. Watch
carefully and count how many coins fall
inside the piggy bank and then pick the
correct answer. Use the arrows to select
the answer, then press the OK button or
press the stylus to confirm.
Activity 7 – Math Mania
It’s up to you to solve addition and
subtraction equations. You need to judge
whether a given equation is correct or
incorrect. If the equation is correct, draw a
vertical line to nod the dog’s head “yes,” or
draw a horizontal line to shake the dog’s
head “no” for an incorrect equation.
Activities
Another version of this game will use a
basketball net in place of a piggy bank. Count
the basketballs that go through the net and
answer the question the same as above.
Activity 8 – Logic Time
It’s logic time. In this activity, you will take
turns answering. Each time a player has to
pick 1 to 3 grapes from the bunch. Move
the hand to one of the grapes and press the
Write button to take it off. The player who
picks the last one will lose the game. You
can press the OK button if you want to pass
your turn to the next player (in Multiplayer
mode) or computer (in Single Player mode)
after you’ve picked 1 or 2 grapes.
13
Another version of this game will ask you to pump up a balloon.
Move the stylus on the writing pad up and down to pump the balloon
one time. Each player can choose to pump the balloon up one, two,
or three times each turn. Just don’t be the person left with the last
pump.
Activity 9 – Pair Up
Activity 10 – Find the Difference
Look closely! There are 4 patterns shown on
the screen. Pick the one that’s different within
the limited time. Press the pattern via its
corresponding position on the writing pad.
Activities
Match up pairs of cards within the time
limit. The cards will be shown first for
several seconds, then they will be covered
up. To select a card, press the card via its
corresponding position on the writing pad.
Activity 11 – Quick Bounce
In Single Player mode, there are 3 holes at
the top of the screen and a ball is moving.
Move the stylus on the writing pad from left
to right to control the line at the bottom of
the screen, and bounce the ball back into
the holes. If you miss and the ball gets past,
you will lose a chance.
In Multiplayer mode, if one player hits the
ball into a hole, it will go to another player’s
screen. The receiving player then has the
task of trying to hit more than one ball at
the same time.
14
Activity 12 – Crazy Sounds
In Multiplayer mode, the first player will
start with an object. Then the next player
will repeat the sequence of the previous
player and then add one more object, and
so on. The one who fails to follow the correct
sequence will be out. The one who remains
to the end will be the winner.
Activity 13 – Maze Craze
You’re given a maze with Start and Exit
points. Move the cursor to the Start point
and it will become a flashing ball. Trace the
path from Start to Exit within the time limit,
and avoid touching the edges. If you touch
one of the edges before you reach the Exit,
you’ll have to start from the beginning.
Activities
Remember the sequence and repeat it back,
then add one more sound into the sequence.
In single player mode, the computer will start
by randomly playing several sounds. Repeat
the sequence by pressing the objects on
the screen.
In Multiplayer mode, the one who finishes
the path first wins the game.
Activity 14 – My Settings
In this activity, kids can change their icon
and edit their name. They can also adjust
the volume to mute/low/high, or turn the
background music on or off.
