Safety Tips
CAUTION: Flip arm can be activated
during handling. Keep clear of the flip
arm when handling.
• 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

• Insure that battery polarity is correct.
• Use only batteries of the type recom-
mended (or equivalent).
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-
zinc), or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium)
batteries.
• Remove used-up batteries immediately.
Remove batteries if vehicle will not be
used for a long period.
• Do not recharge non-rechargeable bat-
teries.
• Do not short-circuit terminals.
• Remove rechargeable batteries before
recharging (if the batteries are designed
to be removable).
• Recharge batteries only under adult
supervision (if the batteries are designed
to be removable).
Battery Performance Note:
This is a high-performance product that
needs lots of power. The product is sup-
plied with standard alkaline batteries. For
best performance, we STRONGLY RECOM-
MEND that you replace those batteries,
when necessary, with extra-high-perform-
ance alkaline batteries. Battery life may
vary depending on battery brand.
VII. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. CAUTION: Flip arm can be
activated during handling. Keep
clear of the flip arm when han-
dling.
2. If the flip arm does not spring out after
three hits, reset the mechanism by hold-
ing the vehicle right-side-up while mov-
ing the mode switch from unlocked
position to locked position – then back
to unlocked position.
3. For long-term storage, store the vehicle
with the flip arm released. Storing the
vehicle this way will maintain best per-
formance.
4. To operate the vehicle as a full-function
R/C – without the robot – hold the vehi-
cle right-side-up while moving the mode
switch to locked position. This will lock
the flip arm. Move the mode switch
back to unlocked position (while holding
the vehicle right-side-up) to unlock the
flip arm for robot pursuit action.
5. If you are taking a quick "break" from
play – or if you are transporting your
vehicle from one place to another - –
hold the vehicle right-side-up while
moving the mode switch to locked posi-
tion. This will lock the flip arm. Move the
mode switch back to unlocked position
(while holding the vehicle right-side-up)
to unlock the flip arm for robot pursuit
action.
VIII. QUICK TIPS
1. When the vehicle or robot starts to lose
power, it may lose functions or perform-
ance. It's time for fresh batteries.
Running time may change depending on
your driving style.
2. Radio interference can make your vehi-
cle 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 vehi-
cle gets too far away, it won't work
properly.
4. Don't drive in sand or through water or
snow. If the vehicle or robot does get
wet, allow it to dry thoroughly overnight
before operating again.
5. Don't store the vehicle or robot near
heat or in direct sunlight. Always turn
switches OFF and remove all batteries
for storage.
6. The best tracking range is 1-4 meters
between vehicle and robot.
7. For best performance when playing
indoors, make sure the vehicle's 3-posi-
tion power switch is set to "indoor" posi-
tion.
For best performance when playing out-
doors, make sure the vehicle's 3-posi-
tion power switch is set to "outdoor"
position.
