SAFETY CIRCUIT
RECHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
3
During use, the internal power in the electric circuit can get quite high (for example during a 360 spin).
In such a case a safety circuit will shut down the vehicle for approximately 10-15 seconds. During this period the car
will not respond to signals from the transmitter. This is not a defect but a safety measure to protect the electronic
circuits. After this period, the car will resume normal operation.
Do not drive your vehicle on streets or in a crowded place.
When the battery pack gets wet, dry completely before storing it.
Do not store the vehicle in a place near a heater or where temperature rises. After use, remove the batteries
from the transmitter and vehicle to store.
This vehicle can run on land and in water but it is not fully water-proof! Immersing it into water may lead to a
malfunction. Dry vehicle well after operating in water.
Adult supervision is strongly recommended when playing near water. Do not drive your vehicle in the sea and
wavy water surface, or where a rapid current flows. Stay away from areas where waves rise due to a strong
wind. Also avoid driving on dirty water surface or where waterweed grows dense, this can cause a malfunction.
Operate your vehicle in water with due care to the distance and battery life, since you need to get the vehicle
back before the battery power runs out.
Plug the battery pack charger into a standard household outlet.
Connect the battery pack to the charger as show in page 5.
Red light on the charger to show that the charger is operating. Normal charging time is 60-80 minutes.
Red light will blink continuously when the battery pack is fully charged.
Unplug the charger from the standard household outlet after 60-80 minutes of charging.
After charging, the battery pack will feel warm, this is normal.

NIMH RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK TIPS
CAUTION DURING PLAYING WITH VEHICLE
Don't overcharge the battery pack, unplug the charger from the household outlet at the end of the
recommended charging time (Approximately 60-80 minutes).
Store your battery pack discharged.
Your battery pack will hold a charge for a shorter time in hot weather.
The charging time is 60-80 minutes. Make sure the charging time will not be longer or shorter then the
advised charging time as that will effect the quality of the battery.
When the use time of this battery pack becomes shorter and shorter, it is most likely time to replace the
battery pack.
If driving time becomes shorter or wheels do not turn with full power, the capacity of the 1.5V battery or 6.0V
battery pack are insufficient. This is the sign indicating that you need to replace the 1.5V battery or recharge
the 6.0V battery pack.
Be sure to recharge the battery pack before driving it. If you do not play with the vehicle immediately after
recharging, the charge is drained and the vehicle cannot drive.
When the battery temperature gets too high, the circuit shuts off automatically to protect the receiver circuit
and the battery in the vehicle. In such a case, wait until the battery cools down before recharging or playing
with the vehicle.
If the rechargeable battery is repeatedly charged without being sufficiently discharged first, the capacity will
gradually decrease (memory effect of battery). This is a characteristic of rechargeable batteries. Be sure to
start recharging after operating the vehicle until they nearly stop.
