What's my Rabbit trying to say with all his flashing lights?
Your Nabaztag mainly uses his lights to express things without speech, as he doesn't want to be too intrusive.

He will use different lights to say different things.

1. The light under his feet
The light under Nabaztag's feet indicates whether or not your Rabbit is alive. When you receive a musical message, it is also used as part of the lightshow.

2. The lights on his tummy
Nabaztag mainly uses the lights on his tummy and nose to tell you things.
Different color animations are used to provide information, as requested in the Nablife section, or to describe what he is doing.

3. The light on his nose
The nose area is dedicated to telling you that you have received a message.

1. Connection status
The light under Nabaztag's feet indicates the status of your Rabbit's internet connection. The light is purple when he is connected and orange when he is offline.

2. Rabbit's work in progress
Nabaztag startup :
When you plug your Nabaztag into a power source, he automatically starts looking for a Wi-Fi network he can use to connect to the internet.
The orange lights in his body will gradually turn green as he detects the network, connects to it and logs on to the Nabaztag server. When all lights on his body and nose have turned green, your Nabaztag is up and running.

to know more about the specific meaning of each light in the connection process, go to the Connection issues and lights page.

Downloading :
Whenever you ask Nabaztag to retrieve past messages from the server (see Receiving Messages below), your Rabbit flashes blue lights, from left to right, to signify he is currently downloading them. When he's done he will automatically play them.

3. Services
Nabaztag's body lights serve to give you the information you requested in the Services section on Nabaztag.com.

Understanding the lingo for services

You can see all of Nabaztag's various light animations and what they mean in the Services section at www.nabaztag.com.

An example: you want to know tomorrow's weather forecast for San Francisco. Go to the Nablife part of my.nabaztag.com to see the full list of services you have activated.
Click on "Weather Forecast."  In the top, right-hand corner, you will see an area explaining what your rabbit is currently expressing; in our example, weather in San Francisco tomorrow: sunny.
At the same time, there will be an animation at the center of your screen which shows how this information translates into a Nabaztag lightshow: three yellow lights in a row on his tummy.
To see all of the possibilities, you can click on "Weather Language" in the top, right-hand box.
Here, you can browse the various types of info that your Rabbit can provide for this particular service: Sun - Rain - Fog - Snow - Storms. Again, there will be an animation of Nabaztag showing how this translates into his luminous language.

How can I listen to my messages? Who's sending them? How can you do everything with just one button? 

Your friends can send messages to your Rabbit. These messages are a combination of animated lights, sound, and ear movements.
As soon as he gets a message, your Rabbit:
1.    Plays the message sender's Signature.
2.    Plays the incoming message.
3.    Replays the sender's Signature.

1. Signature
A Signature is a light and/or sound animation that helps to identify a message's sender. Each user can choose a combination of sound and light animation to compose their personalized Signature.
To find out whom a signature belongs to, go to the Mailing List page in the Messages section on Nabaztag.com. Click on a sender's name to display their Card. You will find their Signature here.
In time, you will learn to recognize each of your correspondents' signatures.

2. The Rabbit Inbox
Once they have been played, incoming messages are stored in the Unread Messages list.
When there are messages in 'Unread Messages', Nabaztag's nose flashes a purple light.

3. If I'd rather not be disturbed
Adjust volume / mute
You don't want your rabbit to break out in song all of a sudden? The little button on the bottom rear of Nabaztag has three settings:
*    Volume High
*    Volume Low
*    Mute
When you select mute, don't forget to switch it back on when you're ready to listen to incoming messages.

Putting the rabbit to sleep
You can also go to the "Put my Nabaztag to sleep" tab on the "Personal Info" page under "My Account," and specify the times during which you want to put your Rabbit to sleep, i.e. when you don't want him to play any messages.
When you do this, all incoming messages will be sent to the Rabbit when he wakes up.

How do I switch it off?
Your Nabaztag has no on/off switch: it's designed to stay on 24/7.
Don't worry if Nabaztag starts to feel a little warm, this is quite normal. If you really want to switch him off completely, simply unplug him from the wall socket.

How can I manage my messages with only one button?

When a message arrives, and if your Rabbit is not in sleep mode, your Nabaztag plays it instantly.
Once you have heard it, you can:

1. Replay the message
Press once on Nabaztag's head to replay.
If you have received several messages in a row, they are all stored in the rabbit's Unread Messages list.
Press his head to play all messages that are stored in Unread Messages in the order they arrived.
Press his head once during playback to skip to the next message.

2. Archiving messages
Once you have listened to a message, we recommend you archive it.
When you decide to archive a message, it is deleted from Unread Messages and moved to your archives. Thereafter, when you press his head, your Rabbit will only play new messages.

Nabaztag.com stores archived messages on the Archived Messages page in the Messages section. You can replay them from here, or even send them back to your Rabbit where they will be added to Unread Messages again.

Archive a message manually
To archive one message from Unread Messages, press the Rabbit's head twice during playback. Nabaztag's nose turns orange, and he makes a noise to confirm he has understood; he then plays the next message.  

Archive all messages
To archive all messages in Unread Messages, your Rabbit must not be currently playing a message. Press his head button twice to archive all unread messages. His nose will start flashing purple to indicate that there are no new messages.

Automatically archive incoming messages
When you ask your Nabaztag to replay a message, it is automatically archived once replayed. Your Rabbit assumes that since you voluntarily asked him to replay these messages, they have been acknowledged and therefore, he can remove them from Unread Messages and place them in your archives.
You can access a list of archived messages at any time, on the Archived Messages page in the My Messages section of my.nabaztag.com. 

You can also manage your messages directly from the the My Messages section of my.nabaztag.com.
You can view a full list of both your Unread Messages and Archived Messages. From there you can:

• View the message sender's card and view their Signature.
• Answer the sender, though his or her Rabbit (if they have one), or via e-mail if they don't.
• Send messages back to your rabbit for him to replay. If the message was previously archived, it will be moved to Unread Messages.
• Archive messages.
• Delete messages.
