transmitter in the configuration molded into the plastic on
the battery holder. Re-install the battery door.

side of the transmitter should light up. If there is no light on,
turn the transmitter off and check to ensure that the
batteries are making contact with the metal contacts in the
battery holder. Make sure the batteries are installed
correctly. Turn the transmitter on and check for the red light.
If the red light appears, turn off the transmitter. If the red light
blinks, the batteries are low and should be replaced.

antenna tube into the hole in the chassis. Tip: Run the antenna
wire through your fingers to straighten out the kinks before
running through the antenna tube. Also, applying a small
amount of soap and water to the antenna wire will help
lubricate the wire for threading into the antenna tube.
