Ask your parents to insert the batteries
into the battery compartment. The note
below shows how to do this.
Place the battery compartment into the
hollow space under the motor. Move the
switch to the “OFF” position and connect
the red wire from the battery
compartment to the spring that you
previously connected to the red wire from
the motor. You can do this by moving the
spring to one side with your finger, until a
gap forms between the individual rings.
Now connect the black wire to the other
spring — again making sure that
everything is positioned correctly. You
can now turn on your ship’s propeller by
moving the switch to the “ON” position.
Please ask an adult to insert or replace
the batteries:
• Open the cover of the battery compartment.
Insert two new AA batteries (1.5-volt, type
LR6/Mignon), or remove the old batteries
and insert new ones. Make sure you put the
batteries in correctly by matching the + and
– polarity markings! Then close the battery
compartment again.

You don’t need to worry about touching the wire, the
springs, or the motor. The electrical current is so small
that nothing will happen. But never touch power
outlets or uncovered wires around your home — that
can be extremely dangerous.
