IV. QUICK TIPS
qWhen your vehicle starts to lose power, it may
lose functions or performance. It’s time for fresh
batteries. Your vehicle’s running time may change
depending on your driving style.
wInterference can effect 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!
ePoint the transmitter toward the vehicle. If your
vehicle gets too far away, it won’t work properly.
rDon't drive your vehicle in sand or through water
or snow. If your vehicle does get wet, wipe with a
towel and allow to dry completely overnight.
tDon’t store your vehicle near heat or in direct
sunlight. Always turn switches OFF and remove all
batteries for storage.
yDo not obstruct the line of site.
uDo not exceed the specified range.
iThis vehicle works better indoors than outside
where sunlight can sometimes interfere with the I/R.
