If your vehicle doesn’t move when
you use the transmitter there’s a
good chance your vehicle’s battery
is ready for a recharge.
TO SHOOT GUN
1. Hold down center button on top
of transmitter (#6) to raise gun.
2. Squeeze trigger on bottom right
side of the transmitter.
3. Hold down center button (#6) to
lower gun or tap button gently to
adjust height.
N.S.E.C.T.
TM
can shoot and walk
simultaneously but cannot shoot
while the cannon is being raised
and lowered.
When the gun is in the lowered
position under the wings, the eyes
will be yellow. When the gun is in
the upper position - wings spread
out - the eyes will be red.
The gun will only shoot when the
eyes are in the red mode.
The N.S.E.C.T.™ claws and cannon
will stop functioning if their motion
is impeded for an extended period
of time. To regain function first turn
OFF and then turn back ON the
N.S.E.C.T.™
If the gun will not retract into the
N.S.E.C.T.’s body, check under the
gun to make sure that no loose
darts or debris have impeded its
path.
X
Do not fire at people or animals
or at point blank range. Keep
hands clear of the N.S.E.C.T.™
legs.
III. BATTERY INSTALLATION
Requires a 7.2v Tyco® (NiCd)
battery pack for vehicle and a 9v
battery for transmitter.
Vehicle
1. Unscrew to open the battery
door (screwdriver not included).
Pull the battery door up and
away from the vehicle.
2. Insert the battery pack into the
battery compartment as shown.
3. Replace the battery door. Screw
back in to lock the battery door.
4. To remove the battery pack: First
turn the vehicle off, unscrew
the battery compartment, open
the battery door and lift out the
battery pack.
X
CAUTION:
Battery pack may
be hot after use. Allow to cool
before touching.
Transmitter
1. To install the transmitter battery,
open the battery door as shown.
2. Install one 9V battery in the
battery compartment as shown.
Observe the battery polarity (+
and -).
3. Close the battery door.
IV. BATTERY CHARGING/CARE
X
CAUTION:
Use only the
charger supplied with this toy.
Do not use any other charging
source.
Use only Tyco® 7.2V NiCd battery
pack. Other batteries may leak or
rupture, causing personal injury
and damage.
1. Plug the wall pack charger into a
standard wall outlet.
2. Connect the wires leading from
the battery pack to the wall pack
charger connector. Make certain
the two connectors are tightly
snapped together.
3. To disconnect the wires, push
down on the connector clip and
pull apart.
4. After charging, the battery will
feel warm. This condition is
normal for fully charged batteries.
5. New battery packs must be
charged for 5 1/2 hours the first
two times charged. Subsequent
charges will require 4 hours.
Charging the battery pack for
more than 4 hours will not give
you a longer running time. 4 hours
is all that is required for a fully
charged battery pack.
6. Unlike alkaline batteries, which
lose power gradually, a NiCd
battery will run for its normal
running time and then lose most
of its power at once. That’s when
you’ll know it’s time to recharge
the battery pack.
7. After use, the battery pack will
be hot! Wait at least 20 minutes
until the battery pack cools before
recharging. Recharging a warm
or hot battery pack will greatly
reduce the number of times your
battery pack can be recharged.
8. The charger must be
disconnected from the electric
supply.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
INFORMATION:
• DO NOT RECHARGE BATTERY
PACK IF IT’S HOT. ALLOW IT TO
COOL BEFORE RECHARGING.
• DO NOT RECHARGE A BATTERY
PACK THAT SHOWS LEAKAGE OR
CORROSION.
• DO NOT DISASSEMBLE
THE BATTERY PACK. THE
BATTERY PACK IS A SEALED
RECHARGEABLE NICKEL-
CADMIUM BATTERY.
• EXERCISE CAUTION IN HANDLING
A HOT BATTERY PACK.
• IF BATTERY PACK AND/OR
CHARGER ARE WET, THOROUGHLY
DRY BEFORE CHARGING.
• DO NOT RECHARGE NON-
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.
Note to Adults:
• Remove rechargeable batteries
before recharging.
• The battery charger is for adult
use only.
• Regularly examine for damage
to the plug, enclosure and other
parts. In the event of any damage,
the toy must not be used with
the charger until the damage has
been repaired.
• The charger is not a toy.
THIS PRODUCT USES A NiCd
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK.
THE BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED
OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.

V. QUICK TIPS
q
When N.S.E.C.T.™ starts to
lose power you’ll start to lose
performance. It’s time for a
recharge. As a rule, you should
always start with a fully charged
battery.
w
Be forewarned--The N.S.E.C.T.™
running time may change
depending on your driving style.
e
Radio interference can mess
up the signals you’resending,
causing N.S.E.C.T.™ to perform
erratically. Things to look for that
may be causing the interference:
other R/C vehicles running on the
same frequency, electrical wires,
large buildings, CB radios, or other
wireless gear that can cause
interference.
r
Point your transmitter antenna up
-- not down toward N.S.E.C.T.™.
If N.S.E.C.T.™ escapes your
antenna’s grasp, you can kiss
proper functioning goodbye.
t
Don’t drive N.S.E.C.T.™ through
water or snow. Not only won’t you
get very far, you might ruin the
creature. If N.S.E.C.T.™ does get
wet, wipe it with a towel and allow
it to dry completely.
y
Don’t store N.S.E.C.T.™ near heat
or in direct sunlight. Always turn
the switches OFF and, if you’re
not planning on any search and
destroy maneuvers for awhile,
remove all the batteries...really.
It’s amazing how one bad battery
can destroy a super-secret
experimental creature technology
(that would be N.S.E.C.T.™).
*
Please recharge your battery
when you notice that the
N.S.E.C.T.™ eyes are blinking
slowly. If the N.S.E.C.T.™ is
blocked by some obstacle for an
extended period of time it may
ENG
ENG
turn itself off. Remove N.S.E.C.T.™
from the path of the obstacle. If
it cannot receive any signal from
the transmitter, the eyes will blink
yellow. If the battery is dying the
eyes will blink red.
