Safety Warnings
• Do not touch the plug or socket with wet hands to avoid electric
shock.
• Unplug the charger when fi nished charging the battery.
• Improper use of battery may lead to overheating, breakage or
leakage.
• Do not expose battery to water, fi re or extreme temperatures.
• Do not overcharge the battery!
• When fi nished using the vehicle, turn the power switch to
the “off” position and take the battery out of the vehicle.

• Turn off the vehicle before turning off the remote controller.
• Do not use the vehicle in the rain or on wet surfaces.
• Avoid operation on loose soil or fi ne sand.

• Since your Mega Missile Launcher is controlled by a radio link it
is very important to always use fresh alkaline batteries in the
transmitter. We recommend Megatech’s Golden Power series,
designed for R/C products.
• Do not trim the antenna. It is cut to a specifi c frequency length and to do
so would drastically affect radio range.
• Plug the battery into the charger.
• Insert the charger plug into a household

After this time, unplug the charger and
battery.
• IF THE BATTERY FEELS HOT
DURING CHARGING,
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND
ALLOW IT TO COOL.
YOUR BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED.
• The Mega Missile Launcher uses the latest NiMH (nickel-metal-hydride)
battery technology available. While NiMH batteries offer the best
performance available, they don’t come up to full potential until they have
gone through 3 or 4 charge and discharge cycles. After that, you should be
prepared for longer missions.
