| ee HEvPrur HINTS If someone uses a CB nearby, it might interfere with cantrol of the vehicle. If this happens, move the car away from the CB Be sure the car is not out of the transmitter's range. The range depends on the surroundings and on battery strength. Obstructions such as buildings, fences, and so on, between the transmitter and the vehicle, reduce the range. The vehicle has a special circuit to prolong battery life. if you keep the contro] wheel or control trigger in one position continuously for 40 seconds, the transmitter automatically shuts off. If this happens, move the control wheel or control trigger to another position to continue driving. If the vehicle moves slowly even after you charge its battery, check the wheel mechanisms for lint, thread, hair, or dust, When you are done with the racer, place it on the charging stand and put the cover, Do not hold the cover when you move it: always hold at the stand's base So as not to drap it, CARE Keep the vehicle dry: if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately, Use and store the vehicle only in normal temperature environments. Handle the vehicle carefully:
do not drop it. Keep the vehicle away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
