IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
Always, turn on your transmitter first before turning on your vehicle receiver switch. When turning an
R/C vehicle off, the order is just the opposite: Turn the receiver switch off first and then turn the trans-
mitter off. Just remember that when your vehicle is turned ON, your transmitter should always be turned
ON. If not, your vehicle will no longer be under the control of your transmitter, and could unexpectedly
take off on its own, causing damage to itself and other people.
Never use old, worn out batteries in your transmitter or vehicle. Use only fresh batteries or fully charged
rechargeable batteries to ensure that you will not exceed the range of your radio system while driving
your vehicle. It is also very important to stop your vehicle immediately when you begin to see that it is
slowing down. This means the batteries in your vehicle are close to being fully discharged, and if you
continue to run your vehicle after it has slowed, it may run "out of control" since it does not have suffi-
cient voltage left to receive the signals from your transmitter.
Only run your vehicle in safe, open areas that will not put anything or anyone in danger of a collision.
Use common sense when driving your vehicle to ensure that you are not causing a potential hazard
to anyone(crowds of people and confined areas should be avoided). Although the model is small
and light weight, it can still hurt when it runs into your ankle height. It can also startle someone who
is not expecting it, so it is extremely important to ALWAYS keep a safe distance between any people
and the path of your vehicle(don't forget this includes yourself)!
Never run your vehicle through puddles, wet grass, snow or any other type of moisture. Also never
use any liquid cleaners around the electronic components on your vehicle. Any small amount of
moisture can cause severe damage to your electronics.
If you be running your vehicle with other R/C vehicles, always confirm before turning your transmitter
on, that no one else is using your same frequency channel. If neccessary, you may change fre-
quencies(certainly this is not related to 2.4G radio use).
Always let your motor and battery cool down completely between runs. The motor needs to cool
completely at the end of a charge before using again. Heat is a big enemy of electric motors.
Overheating the motor will shorten its life and can cause it to fail. Prolonged running on high drag
surfaces like grass, carpet etc.can heat the motor up and cause possible failure.
WHAT ELSE IS NEEDED
4 "AA" alkaline batteries(for the radio transmitter)
GETTING STARTED
1. INSTALLING TRANSMITTER BATTERIES
Install 4 new "AA" batteries into your vehicle transmitter.
Check the life and proper installation of your batteries by switching the transmitter to ON. On vehicle
transmitters, you should see all three LED'S light up(Red, yellow, and green). If you do not, your
batteries may be low on voltage or you may not have installed them all correctly.
As the life of your transmitter batteries begins to decline, the green LED will no longer light. When you
notice that you are down to only the yellow and red lights, this is a caution sign that it is time to install
new batteries. If you continue operating your vehicle, and see that the yellow light goes out(and only
the red light is lit), STOP IMMEDIATELY! Your vehicle may easily travel out of range causing you to
lose all control, which could result in a collision causing damage to the vehicle or other property.
