Response Pad Care & Response Pad Care & UseUse

The CPS response pad is a tool, not a toy. Please do not bang on it, throw it, chew on it, or use it for a doorstop! Treat it with the same care and respect that would show to your own TV or DVD remote control.

Be nice to your response pad, and your response pad will be nice to you.
