Important Note: Radio interference can occur if more than
one radio control car or radio device is operating on the
same frequency. (The two cars provided in this set operate
on different frequencies.) Radio interference can cause the
cars to operate erratically. For best performance, please be
sure to maintain a distance from or do not operate this toy
near:
• radio devices such as nursery monitors, cordless
telephones or other radio control cars on the same fre-
quency,
• high voltage electrical wires, reinforced concrete
buildings or CB radios.
Any modification of the transmitters or the receivers
(cars) will violate FCC compliance and can void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
• Place the curved tracks on a flat surface, as shown.
• Snap the straight track between the curved tracks.
