Your LeapBand
The LeapBand activity tracker creates an exciting and fun gameplay
experience promoting active play, health and wellness. Your child
can earn Joules with activity and gameplay, which are tracked on the
home screen’s Energy Bar.
Gameplay
To begin play, place the LeapBand activity tracker on your child’s wrist and press the Star button.
Earn Joules through Active Play
All movement from walking to running to dancing is tracked as your child wears the
device on his/her wrist throughout the day. Active play challenges focus on creative and
imaginative movement.
To hear an active play challenge, press the Activity Challenge button on the tracker.
Virtual Pet Play
Children can choose a pet to customize/customise using the Left, Right and Star buttons
on their LeapBand activity tracker, select a color/colour for the pet and name it. Take care of
virtual pets by feeding, playing with, washing and nurturing them. Playing games, such as Pet
Boogie and Pet Chef, and earning Joules with virtual pets can help children learn about health
and wellness.
LeapBand activity tracker has 8 virtual pets to unlock, each of which can level up through
activity and gameplay each day.
Modes
Move Mode: This is the default mode of the device. The accelerometer in the LeapBand
tracks motion. The screen and sound are not active in this mode.
Player Mode: Turn on Player mode by touching any tracker button. The screen illuminates
and your child has access to all of the on-device features. Player mode goes into Move mode
after a period of no interaction.
Quiet Time: While kids can still earn Joules during Quiet Time, no audio, animation or
gameplay is available; only the clock displays if a button is pressed. To turn Quiet Time on
or off, press and hold the Left Scroll button on the tracker for 5 seconds.
Extend the Play with Petathlon Games
The Joules that children earn on their LeapBand activity tracker can be traded for power-ups
in the companion Petathlon Games™ app (available for download to a compatible iOS or
Android device or Wi-Fi enabled LeapPad™ tablet).
The companion app includes 6 mini-games for your child’s virtual pets to play, such as
javelin, bobsledding and archery. Medals and pet accessories are earned playing the events
on the app, and sync back to the LeapBand activity tracker.
Play Area Precautions
Discuss the following precautions with your child:
• Make sure you have enough space to move freely while playing.
• Be mindful of other people and clear the play area floor of toys and other objects.
• Play on an even surface.
• Wear clothing appropriate for physical activity, including footwear that provides sufficient
traction (for example, avoid socks on wood or tile floors).
Parent Settings in LeapFrog Connect

Joules they have earned using Parent Settings in the LeapFrog Connect Application.
Syncing Data
Get a window into your child’s play by connecting their tracker to your computer via USB
cable. (Play data will upload only to the computer on which your LeapFrog Connect account
is registered.) You’ll be able to see all the Joules your child has earned over the last 7 days.
Time Settings
The time setting on your tracker will sync automatically to the time on your connected
computer as default. You can adjust the time via Parent Settings in LeapFrog Connect, or
directly on the device by holding the STAR key for 5 seconds and following the prompts.
School and Night Time
Select two blocks of time for 1 to 7 days a week where no audio, animation or gameplay is
available. Your child still earns Joules, as the device will continue to track their motions, but
only the analog/analogue clock displays until the School or Night Time duration has expired.
School and Night modes can only be set and cancelled in LeapFrog Connect. These modes
cannot be set and cancelled on the tracker.
