To use the DX Arc Riser, first, find an Arc Cube. Press the button on the Arc Cube to turn it on. Once it's activated, insert the Arc Cube into the Arc Riser. Then, rotate the parts of the Arc Riser until the pattern lines up correctly. When it's aligned, you'll hear the transformation sounds. The included Arc Cube has two modes. You can switch between Arc Cube Mode for transformation sounds and Sound Mode to listen to dialogues and other show - related sounds. For Chinese releases, you're guaranteed to get early - purchase bonuses. For Japanese releases, you might get them, but it's not certain. As for shipping, it's free if you're in the USA. When you're not using the product, keep it in a dry and safe place to avoid any damage. Also, don't try to force the parts of the Arc Riser or the Arc Cube as it could break them.
