R/C Facts for Improved Operation
1. When batteries start to discharge, vehicle may slow, stop, or refuse to respond to
your control. It's time to replace both vehicle batteries and/or remote battery. This is
absolutely the #1 cause of all problems and questions! Observe polarity when
replacing batteries.
2. Radio frequency interference can interfere with the control of your vehicle.
Buildings, power wires, other R/C remotes, or CB radio can all cause problems. Pick a
place to drive that's away from these things.
3. Hold remote so antenna points up, not toward the vehicle. Keep vehicle within
range (about 30 to 40 feet) to keep control. If vehicle goes out of range, try lifting
remote high into air to increase range.
4. Wipe vehicle clean and dry after each use, including inside battery compartments.
5. Turn vehicle power switch off immediately after running. Remove batteries for
storing or shipping. Keep vehicle and Remote away from heat and direct sunlight and
moisture.
6. Do not run vehicle in or near water.
