BASIC TROUBLE SHOOTING:
Problem: Snake is not working
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly. The“+” and “- ”are in their corresponding
position.
• Check the condition of the batteries. Both Controller and Snake need full power or new
batteries for best use.
• Check if batteries or contacts need to be cleaned. Dirt can cause batteries not to connect.
• Check if there is any radio signal interference. May need to play in another location.
• Controller may be out of range and needs to be closer to Snake.
• Remove batteries and check if there is any debris in the wheel or propeller
area. Debris will cause Snake to not fully function.
Problem: Pairing
• Check above steps.
• Turn o any other RC devices in area.
• Turn Snake on and o.
Problem: Controller’s lights are all o.
• Controller enters battery saver mode when idle for 1 minute. Press any
button to wake the controller. Lights should be back on. Return to Fig. 3a.
Problem: Works only in Water or Land Mode
• Remove batteries and check if there is any debris in the wheel or propeller
area. Debris will cause snake to not fully function.
• Check again with new batteries.
Problem: Snake body is disconnected
• Each segment is labeled and can be reconnected. Turn Snake over on its
back. Snap back loose piece(s) following correct sequence. Sequence
numbers are shown in between segments. See Fig. 4a and Fig. 4b.
