I,{*,rnings - read before use

fime travelling can be an extremely dangerous act which

can adversely affect not onJ-y the time traveller but
the entire world and human race. Although this machine
is equipped" with paradox checking. technology, users ere
advised not to become complacent with the iclea of "i:ine
travel-. Treat this machine with due respect and caution.

There is a real possibility of becoriing'trapped in the

past or future when using ihir machine. It is advised that
time travellers closely follow instructi-ons in this manual,
includ.ing details such as I ' w h a t to brin;" while tine tra.rellittglt
to red.uee this risk.

[o promote the long life of yor,rr l'lillennium Ed.ition

Portable Time Travel-J-in,' i,lach-ine, always fibJ.low these
simple instructions when handling or caring 1'or your
machine:
1. Always pick up the m*,chine with the elock unit haniJ.e
as well as supportlngl the main unit. For convenience'
it is recommended that the helmet/antenna unit be
placed. on the head irhile the device is being nroved.
2, The glass flux capacitor unit nay become loose during
use, so when handling the time machine it is reco-
m m e n d " e dt"h a t a v i s u a l inspection of the flux capacitor
unit is perfori:red before lifting the rnachine. the
glass fii.lx capacitor housing should also be supr;e11*U
while the ma.ehine is being rnoved.
3. lilever push warning lights, the year/error console
display or the programuring lllek in to the case.
They may become dislod.ged ancl fal-J- in io the case.
4.Idever puJ-l or push wires if they do not have an
attachment point to the ease, or if they are ttar,hedr
d.o not puJ-l or push them past the attachment point.
They may becorne se1:arated frcm the circuiis insj-cli:
the case and destroy the functionality of the maclr,ine.
5. Idever open any part of the ease, The components inside
may be damaged if they are not correctly handled when
'ue
exposed, and. thus should never exposed blr anyone
but the manufaeturer.

Power supply

Your f,-illennium Editi.on Portable Time Travelling i'iachine

operates on a single 9V al.keline battery, availa.ble at
most supermarkets between 1956 and 2083, where they were
discontinued. If a 9V source is not aviiilable, the tine
'.,etr^reen
machine can run off a.ny voltage 8V r.:.nd 25V , It

side To use the time machine in clock mode, de-
elock.
activate the main poifer switeh on the main uni-tn part

Preparing for your first time travel

Before embarking on your first tirle travel adventure,

you shouJ-d do some research on the time period you intend
to visit, past s or prepare for anything
if it is in the
if it is in the future. You shouJ-d ensure you have thought
of a safe way to Eet home; cartry extra batteries for your
time machine and a small repair lrit.

You can check the reliable functionality of ;ror-lr time

machine rvith relative ease. This is an important step
to ensure you will- be able to safely travel home' To
test your time machiae, simply begin by writing your-self
a note; "0n th.e 1st of Ap:ril , 1992, I was testing my tine
machine't, for instanue, with toda;rts date. SeaI this in
ayL envehope and place it in a safe place. If your time
rnachine is functional, you should find that the next
piece of peper in your ream contains another note, si ilar
tnr'rYorrro timo machine is
v v , t r v 1 4 functionaltt. i'{ote that it is
important to leave the envelope in a safe place stiil'
to avoid. a paradox.

Finally, remember to note down tod"ayrs date and time so

that;rou lcnowwhere to return ton and go to the bathroom.
Tine travel can make some people nauseous or nervous.
You raay also l-ike to bring riith you some necessitj-es st;ch
as toilet paper, a toothbrush, etc. if travelling back-
ward.s in tirne, os, such facilities are not available in
'l
