WARNING
This product contains small magnets. Swallowed magnets can
stick together across intestines causing serious infections
and death. Seek immediate medical attention if magnets are
swallowed or inhaled.
Most modules are small parts. DO NOT allow children under 3
years old to play with or near this product.
NEVER connect any modules or circuits to any AC electrical
outlet.
Do not touch or hold any moving parts of modules while they
are operating.
Keep conductive materials (such as aluminum foil, staples,
paper clips, etc.) away from the circuit and the connector
terminals.
Always turn off circuits when not in use or when left
unattended.
Never use modules in or near any liquid.
Never use in any extreme environments such as extreme hot or
cold, high humidity, dust or sand.
Modules are subject to damage by static electricity. Handle
with care.
Some modules may become warm to the touch when used in
certain circuit designs. This is normal. Rearrange modules or
discontinue using if they become excessively hot.
Discontinue use of any modules that malfunction, become
damaged or broken.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE
Several projects in this kit involve the use
and/or a hot glue gun. These tools should be u
direct adult supervision and ONLY by children
them safely.
INSTRUCTIONS
We recommend using littleBits brand 9-volt bat
standard alkaline or standard rechargeable bat
be used. Properly discard and replace exhauste
Do not connect the two battery terminals to an
material.
CARE AND CLEANING
Clean modules ONLY by wiping with a dry cloth.
isopropyl alcohol on a cloth may be used spari
DO NOT use any other cleaning products on modu
Congratulations for reading this fine print. Y
and persistence will serve you well.

The microphone module translates sound into the electroniclanguage of littleBits. You can use it to turn sounds into lightor motion, or use it with the speaker module like a smallmegaphone! Make sure the switch is set to sound when youreusing it with the speaker, and other for all your other modules.

The bright LED is a small module that puts outa big light. Just like our other LED modules,its a great way to shed some light on yourcreations. Choose the bright LED when youwant a lot of bright white light.

ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE
Electricity can be static, like the energy that can make
your hair stand on end. Magnetism can also be static, as it
is in a refrigerator magnet. A changing magnetic field will
create a changing electric field and vice-versa, the two are
linked. These changing fields form electromagnetic waves.

Unique curved surfaces, such
as parabolas, have a point
called the FOCUS, where all
of the energy entering the
shape is reflected from
the parabolic curve and
intersects at the focus. In
your satellite dish model, the
light sensor is your focus
that receives
energy from
the bright
LED andmeasures it
in the number
module.

NASA instruments
measure energy in
the night sky across
the electromagnetic
spectrum. By looking
at the sky in wave-
lengths beyond the
visible spectrum,
scientists can see
a more complete
picture. This helps
them study questions
like how was theuniverse formed and
how is it changing.
