BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION
In exceptional circumstances batteries may leak fluids
that can cause a chemical burn injury or ruin your product.
To avoid battery leakage:
• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
• Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the product
before being charged (if designed to be removable).
• Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under
adult supervision (if designed to be removable).
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc),
or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

Battery Performance Note:
For best performance use regular or high-performance

batteries for initial use and/or demonstration purposes, we
recommend replacing them with alkaline batteries when
necessary. Battery life may vary depending on battery
brand.
II.VEHICLE OPERATION
FORWARD REVERSE RIGHT
LEFT

1. When your vehicle starts to lose power, it may lose
functions or performance. It's time for fresh batteries
(or a recharge). Your vehicle's running time may
change depending on your driving style.
2. Radio interference can make your vehicle run badly.
Interference can be caused by other R/C vehicles
running on the same frequency; electrical wires;
large buildings; or CB radios. Try to stay away from
these!
3. Point your transmitter antenna up - not down toward
your vehicle. If your vehicle gets too far away, it
won't work properly. If your transmitter has an
antenna carry-loop feature, make sure the antenna is
removed from the holder and straightened before
operating.
4. Don’t drive your vehicle in sand or through water or
snow.
5. Don’t store your vehicle near heat or in direct
sunlight. Always turn switches OFF and remove all
batteries for storage.
