TRANSMITTER BATTERY INSTALLATION

Your transmiter uses a 9v/6LR61 battery. It’s equipped with a special

automatic-on battery-saving feature. Just turn your vehicle ON.

Then push either control and you will be able to run and control

your vehicle.

1. Open battery door as shown.

2. Install one 9V battery with polarity (+/-) as shown inside battery

compartment.

3. Close battery door.

7.2V d.c.

Please follow these instructions regarding

NiCd vehicle battery charging and safety.

Use charger only under adult supervision.

BATTERY CHARGING/CARE –

7.2V TURBO®BATTERY

1. Plug wall pack charger into standard

110/120 volt outlet.

2. Connect the wires leading from the

battery pack to the wall pack charger

connector. Make certain the two con-

nectors are tightly snapped together.

3. To disconnect wires, push down on the

connector clip and pull apart.

4. Your battery pack consists of new parts

and materials; therefore, you should

charge the battery pack for 51/2 hours

the first two times you charge the bat-

tery. Subsequent charges will require

only 4 hours.

5. After charging for 4 hours, the battery

will feel warm. This condition is normal

for fully charged batteries.

6. Charging the battery pack for more

than 4 hours will not give you a longer

running time. 4 hours is all that is

required for a fully charged battery

pack.

7. Unlike alkaline batteries, where the

power loss is gradual, a NiCd (nickel-

cadmium) battery will run for its normal

running time, depending on your partic-

ular vehicle, and then lose most of its

power at once. It is time to recharge

the battery pack. Running time will

vary, depending upon which R/C vehi-

cle you have.

8. After use, the battery pack will be hot!

Wait at least 20 minutes until the bat-

tery pack cools before recharging.

Recharging a warm or hot battery pack

will greatly reduce the number of times

your battery pack can be recharged.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY INFORMATION:

 DO NOT RECHARGE BATTERY PACK

IF IT’S HOT. ALLOW IT TO COOL

BEFORE RECHARGING.

 DO NOT RECHARGE A BATTERY PACK

THAT SHOWS LEAKAGE OR CORRO-

SION.

 DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE BAT-

TERY PACK. THE BATTERY PACK IS A

SEALED RECHARGEABLE NICKEL-

CADMIUM BATTERY.

 DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE BATTERY

PACK IN FIRE.

 EXERCISE CAUTION IN HANDLING A

HOT BATTERY PACK.

 IF BATTERY PACK AND/OR CHARGER

ARE WET, THOROUGHLY DRY BEFORE

CHARGING.

 DO NOT RECHARGE NON-

RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.

Note to Adults:

• Remove rechargeable batteries before

recharging. Recharge batteries only

under adult supervision.

• Regularly examine for damage to the

plug, enclosure and other parts. In the

event of any damage, the toy must not

be used with the transformer until the

damage has been repaired.

• This toy is not intended for children

under 8 years old. The transformer is

not a toy.

operating instructions and safety rules with

your child.

Safety Tips

• NEVER drive your vehicle on streets!

They’re for real cars!

• DO NOT pick up vehicle while in motion.

• Keep fingers, hair and loose clothing

away from the tires and the wheel hubs

while the vehicle is switched ON.

• Adult supervision is recommended when

this vehicle is being operated.

• To avoid accidental operation, remove all

batteries when not in use.

BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION

Batteries may leak fluids that can cause a

chemical burn injury or ruin your toy (prod-

uct). To avoid battery leakage:

• Do not mix old and new batteries or batter-

ies of different types: alkaline, standard

(carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cad-

mium).

• Insert batteries as indicated inside the bat-

tery compartment.

• Remove batteries during long periods of

non-use. Always remove exhausted batter-

ies from the toy (product). Dispose of bat-

teries safely. Do not dispose of batteries in

a fire. The batteries may explode or leak.

• Never short-circuit the battery terminals.

• Use only batteries of the same or equiva-

lent type, as recommended.

• Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.

• Remove rechargeable batteries from the

toy (product) before charging.

• If removable, rechargeable batteries are

used, they are only to be charged under

adult supervision.

Battery Performance Note:

For best performance use alkaline batteries

(where disposable batteries are called for). If

your vehicle is supplied with standard (carbon-

zinc) batteries for initial use and/or demonstra-

tion purposes, we recommend replacing them

with alkaline batteries when necessary.

Battery life may vary depending on battery

brand.

❶When your vehicle starts

to lose power, it may lose

functions or perform-

ance. It's time for a

recharge). Your vehicle's

running time may change

depending on your driv-

ing style.

❷Radio interference can

make your vehicle run

badly. Interference can

be caused by other R/C

vehicles running on the

same frequency; electri-

cal wires; large buildings;

or CB radios. Try to stay

away from these!

❸ Point your transmitter

antenna up - not down

toward your vehicle. If

your vehicle gets too far

away, it won't work prop-

erly.

❺Don’t store your vehicle

near heat or in direct sun-

light. Always turn switch-

es OFF and remove all

batteries for storage.

❹Don’t drive your vehicle in

sand or through water or

snow.
