The SD card version is the best one, but if you really want to try...

Sit Pleo so the tail is pointing directly at you.
With your left hand place your pinky finger on the left rear leg sensor (I find it easiest to use the side of my pinky), your thumb on the shoulder sensor and your forefinger on the front left leg sensor.
With your right hand place your palm on the rear back sensor and your fingers on the rear right leg sensor...
Now do all that at the same time :o

If you manage the hand gymnastics just right Pleo will go into watchdog mode... if done incorrectly you'll look pretty silly %)

Remember to practice, do warm up exercises, hand stretches, and grow longer fingers or an extra hand...

Edit: Pleoworld says touch just one back sensor, but I always have to touch both, however that may be because Lilo has faulty back sensors.

just tried it about 20 times....cant get it done.
is the leg sensor on top of his feet or down his feet?

edit: i just tried it on my other pleo with broken neck but cant get it done there either.
they just have been updated to life OS 2.0

is that the reason why the tricks do not work? i also cant make them do the tadaaa trick.

The leg sensor is at near the top of the leg - please excuse the naked pleo, but it gives you an idea where the sensors (the silver panels) are.

Tadaa is usually pretty easy, are you holding the sensors for long enough? If Pleo is doing something else he will ignore until done. For the tadaa trick I hold until I feel both legs starting to move in sync, sometimes you have to do it a couple of times.
