VI. QUICK TIPS
1When your vehicle starts to lose power, it may lose
functionality or performance. It’s time for fresh
batteries. Your vehicle’s running time varies depending
on your driving style.
Interference can affect your vehicle's performance.
Interference can be caused by other I/R devices like a
TV remote control or other remotes in the house. Try to
stay away from these!
Point the transmitter toward the vehicle. If your vehicle
gets too far away, it won’t work properly.
Don't drive your vehicle in sand or through water or
snow. If your vehicle does get wet, wipe it with a towel
and allow to dry completely overnight.
Don’t store your vehicle near heat or in direct sunlight.
Always turn switches OFF and remove all batteries for
storage.
Do not obstruct the line of sight.
Do not exceed the specified range.
This vehicle works better indoors than outdoors where
sunlight can sometimes interfere with the I/R.
If the vehicle malfunctions, please turn the vehicle's
power OFF and ON again. This should reset your vehicle
and let you resume normal operation.
