Battery Installation
Remote Controller
• Locate the battery compartment on the bottom of the
remote controller.
• Loosen the screw in the battery compartment door
with a Phillips screwdriver. Remove the battery
compartment door and insert three “AAA” (LR03)
alkaline
batteries.
• Replace the battery compartment door and tighten the
screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Do not over-tighten.
• If this remote controller begins to operate erratically,
you may need to reset the electronics. Remove the
batteries and reinstall.
We recommend the use of
alkaline
batteries for longer battery life.
IMPORTANT!
Under normal use conditions, the batteries in the vehicle will require
replacement more often than the batteries in the remote controller. For additional
information, refer to the troubleshooting section on the last page of this sheet.
