It’s the ultimate radio control experience! Your Starter Kit comes with

MH rechargeable battery for power. You
can charge the battery using the power
from the CONTROLLER.
Set ON/OFF on the CONTROLLER to ON.
The indicator light will turn green.
Open the cover on the top of the CON-
TROLLER. Align the metal contact points
on the car’s chassis with the metal contact
points on top of the CONTROLLER. Place

Caution:
Always use the RELEASE button

If the micro RC runs slowly or not at all
or does not respond to the CONTROLLER,
recharge the micro RC.
Caution:
After you charge or recharge
the micro RC, disconnect it from the
CONTROLLER. Overcharging the micro
RC could damage it.
Attach the WRISTSTRAP as shown below to prevent dropping

The CONTROLLER charges your micro RC and controls its steering and
speed. You’ll need to install two AAA batteries. For the best performance
and longest life, the ZipZaps factory recommends RadioShack Enercell Plus
alkaline batteries.
1) Set ON/OFF on the CONTROLLER to OFF.
2) Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of
the arrow to remove the cover.
3) Place two AAA batteries in the compartment according
to the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
4) Replace the cover and snap shut.
5) If you notice the range of your CONTROLLER decreasing,
it’s time to replace the batteries.
Installing Batteries Cautions:
•
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
•
Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of
different capacities.
•
If you do not plan to use the micro RC for several days, remove all
the batteries from the CONTROLLER. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can destroy electronic parts.
•
Never leave dead or weak batteries in the CONTROLLER.
•
Dispose of dead batteries promptly and properly;
do not burn or bury them.
