This particular pet is designed to pick up radio waves in the air and translate them into characters or messages on the device (though they probably don’t have anything to do with the original messages being sent; I assume it’s just a complicated random number generator). However, because they were designed for the Japanese market and their devices–and because it came out in the 1990s–it apparently only reacts to microwaves in the United States. Nonetheless the extremely dedicated hobbyists over at Tama Talk have rescued a bunch of instruction manuals and info about this pet and you can find it here:
