The legendary King Arthur
brandished a magic sword,
Excalibur, from which we take
our company name. With this
unique weapon in his hands,
he could not be vanquished.
Although Excalibur Electronics
can’t claim the magical secrets
of Merlin, King Arthur’s court
wizard, sometimes our patented
technology may make it seem
as if we could.
We make you think.

With Ivan II, the Conqueror
Talking Chess Set facedown,
find the door marked “
BATTERY
DOOR
”. Open it and insert four
(4) fresh, alkaline AA batteries
in the battery holder. Note the
arrangement of the batteries
called for by the diagram in the
holder. Make sure that the posi-
tive tip of each battery matches
up with the + sign in the battery
compartment so that polarity
will be correct.
When the batteries are proper-
ly installed, Ivan automatically
turns himself on and starts talk-
ing letting you know he's ready
for action. If Ivan does not start
talking, use a thin pointed object
and press the
ACL
button.
Replace the battery compart-
ment panel, and turn Ivan over.
