The sofa is starting to feel lonely now that NEOS ® is in town. Park-tough, weatherproof and designed to endure every challenge of outdoor life: • LED lights are inside steel housings and secured with vandal-resistant hardware. • Electronics are potted in an epoxy compound. • NEOS has been thoroughly tested for durability. LED light buttons are sensitive enough to accept a toddler’s touch but tough enough to be vandal-resistant. LED lights are used for their long life and low power consumption. Operates on low voltage power. This can be supplied from a 12-volt transformer or solar power system. (For more information, see page 5.) NEOS is surface mounted. The preferred surfacing is concrete or black top (similar to a basketball court), but NEOS can be installed on an impact-absorbing surface as well. If installing indoors, we do not recommend carpeting. An optional 2-year extended warranty is available to make it a 3-year warranty on electronic parts. (See “Extended Limited Warranty” sheet on the BBS.) Includes a FREE instructional sign to explain each game to players. *Source: Energy Expenditure at Play conducted by Geisinger Center for Health Research and Playworld Systems; August 2008. ssh0812012 • Page 1 of 5 www.PlayNEOS.com 800.233.8404 570.522.9800 In today’s video game culture, how do we get kids off the sofa and back on the playground? The answer is NEOS. NEOS, the world’s first electronic playsystems for the playground, combines the speed and reflex of video games with the explosive movement of aerobic exercise to create the most physically challenging and exciting activity ever to hit your playspace. As kids race each other and the clock, they are developing their agility, coordination, strength and stamina. They’re building teamwork and cooperation skills. And they’re having too much fun to notice. Playtime is more electrifying for kids of all ages, thanks to NEOS. NEOS family features: NEOS delivers a workout comparable to jogging or a game of soccer by combining the explosive movement of aerobic exercise with the speed and dexterity of video games.* NEOS promotes competition and teamwork while giving kids a heart-pounding, physically challenging workout, increasing heart rates by an average of 20%. NEOS is available in three system variations, each with multiple games for non-stop fun and discovery.
