MINDS-i® PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION
When safety precautions are followed, your MINDS-i® system will provide years of enjoyment. Use care and good sense at all times
when operating this product. Failure to use your system in a safe, sensible manner can result in injury or damage to property. You and
you alone must insure that the instructions are carefully followed and all safety precautions are obeyed.
• Water can cause the electronics to short out and can cause permanent damage.
• Always turn on the transmitter before turning on the receiver.
• Fully extend the transmitter antenna before operating your vehicle.
• Before turning on your radio system, check to make sure that no one else is running on the same frequency.
• CHOKING HAZARD: Do not allow children under age 3 or any individuals who have a tendency to place objects in their
mouths to play with any part of the MINDS-i system, including, but not limited to: connectors, pieces, electronics, radio
transmitters, wheels, tires. The system contains small parts which could accidentally be swallowed and cause suffocation.
• When the system is powered and/or in motion, keep fingers, face, tools, loose clothing, hair, and all other body parts away
from gears, wheels, etc. Do no wear gloves while operating machinery. Even plastic parts can pinch, cut, or crush.
• The transmitter’s antenna could also cause injury if played with violently or pointed towards someone’s face.
• Never operate your MINDS-i® system on streets or in any areas where full-size vehicles are.
• Do not pick up your MINDS-i® system when it is in motion.
• Never charge, run or store your MINDS-i® system in a location subject to high temperatures, low temperatures or high
humidity.
Do not store in direct sunlight.
• To avoid electronic malfunction, do not allow the vehicle to become wet. Short circuits will produce a very strong electrical
current. Should your MINDS-i® system become wet, stop using it immediately.
• WARNING! Electrocution Hazard. Do not use the materials provided for other than its intended purpose.
• Do not put it into fire.
• Always use recommended batteries. If improper batteries are used, they may become hot, leak and may rupture.
• Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
• Only batteries of the same equivalent type as recommended are to be used. Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the system and replaced with new ones. Recycle all used batteries.
• Do not lick batteries. If battery appears to be leaking or has a crystalline deposit on the outside, dispose of it immediately
(wear gloves when handling, preferably nitrile or other non-reactive material).
• Do not run a wire between battery terminals, as wire will get very hot, can be irreparably damaged or explode.
• Make sure the batteries are installed with the correct polarity as shown. Do not disassemble your batteries. Never allow them
to become hot or to burn. To avoid short-circuits, avoid getting them wet. Do not short circuit batteries.
• If liquid from inside the batteries contacts your skin or clothes, wash them with water. If leaked battery fluid gets into your
eyes, flush them immediately with cool water and seek medical attention. Do not rub eyes.
• Always wear safety glasses to protect your eyes. Note that normal glasses, while usually made of impact-resistant plastic, will
not afford sufficient protection from shrapnel or flying debris.
• Always wear close-toed shoes to protect your feet from heavy or sharp objects, which might be dropped.
• If you have long hair, keep it tied back or under a hat to avoid it becoming caught in moving parts.
• The MINDS-i® system contains small parts. Do not ingest. Do not insert into any orifice (e.g. nostrils, ears, etc).
• The system contains metal parts. Cutting or bending can cause parts to break; resulting in sharp edges which can cut skin.
• Battery disposal. Do not throw batteries into the trash, especially rechargeable batteries. Contact your local waste disposal
office for information on battery disposal. Batteries should be stored as directed by your local hazardous materials disposal office
until pickup (usually in a hard sided waterproof, non-conductive container, e.g. a plastic bucket).
WARNING! IMPORTANT! RESPONSIBLE ADULT SUPERVISION IS REQUIRED FOR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 14.
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR UNSUPERVISED USE BY CHILDREN YOUNGER THAN 14 YEARS OLD.
