Battery Tips
• We recommend using
alkaline
batteries for longer battery life.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix different types of batteries:
alkaline
, standard (carbon-zinc)
or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium).
• Remove the batteries during long periods of non-use. Always remove
exhausted batteries from the toy. Battery leakage and corrosion can
damage this toy. Dispose of batteries safely.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode or leak.
• Never short circuit the battery terminals.
• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
• Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended in the
"Battery Installation" instructions are to be used.
• If removable rechargeable batteries are used, they are only to be
charged under adult supervision.
• Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the toy before they
are charged.
• If you use a battery charger, it should be examined regularly for
damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts. Do not use a
damaged battery charger until it has been properly repaired.
When To Replace Batteries
If this toy is working slowly or erratically, it’s likely that batteries need
to be replaced. While it is possible that all batteries may need replace-
ment, the batteries that will need replacement most often are the
batteries in the car, followed by the remote controller, and then the
control tower. For more information, see the troubleshooting guide
beginning on page 19.
