<p>A 'try me' feature (fig. 1) is disclosed for remotely controlled devices such as remotely controlled toys for point of sale demonstration or sampling. A secondary link (46 in fig. 2) is provided between the remote control device (12a) and the remotely controlled device (10a). When the secondary link is selected or present, activation of a control on the remote control device (12a) will cause the remotely control device (10a) to react to the same or similar to the way it reacts under wireless remote control alone using the secondary link. In the preferred embodiment, the secondary link (46) includes a disconnectable wired coupling (48) and uses the primary wireless link. The remotely controlled device (10a) and the remote control device (12a) may be contained in a point of sale package (14 in fig. 1) or configured in a point of sale display. In one embodiment, the remotely controlled device (10b in fig. 3) has a switch (50) by way which the secondary coupling and 'try me' operation, or normal wireless remote control operation is selected. When the devices are provided in a point of sale package (14 in fig. 1), the switch is factory set to 'try me' operation, which precludes solely wireless operation in the package via the primary link.</p> |
