Make sure the power switch on the chassis is OFF. 2. Remove the screw on the battery compartment cover. Then carefully unlatch the battery compartment cover and remove the cover. 3. Insert four AA batteries (not included) in the compartment, matching the polarity symbols (+ and ) marked inside. 4. Replace the battery compartment cover and screw. Battery Notes:
Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury batteries.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
If you do not plan to use the vehicle for several days, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts. Mounting the Car Body on the Chassis 1. Insert the chassis tab into the slot inside the front bumper. 2. Lower the rear of the body so the tab near the back of the car body enters the slot behind the rear axle. Press gently until you hear a click. To remove the body from the chassis, press the tab from Step 2 gently toward the rear of the vehicle and lift the rear part of the chassis. Gently slide the car bodys nose from the chassis. 6000939_UG_EN 062013.indd 6 6/21/2013 1:17:16 PM 666 6000939_UG_EN 062013.indd 7 6/21/2013 1:17:22 PM 7 Setting Up Your Controller Installing the Battery Your controller needs a 9V battery (not included). We recommend 9V alkaline batteries for best performance. 1. Make sure the power switch is OFF, and remove the screw on the battery compartment. 2. Place the 9V battery in the compartment, matching the polarity symbols (+ and ) marked inside. 3. Snap the cover back in place and replace the screw. Battery Notes:
When you notice the LED is off or the range of your car decreases, replace the battery.
Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury batteries.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
If you do not plan to use the vehicle for several days, remove the battery. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts. Pairing Your Controller and the Car Your XMODS operates at a frequency of 2.4Ghz. Before driving the rst time, you must pair the controller and car. 1. Turn on the controller. 2. Turn on the car (The power switch is under the chassis). The LED indicator on the car ashes slowly. 3. Press and hold the car pairing button for 3 seconds; the car LED ashes quickly. When the car LED stops ashing, pairing is complete. Note:
Your car and controller remain paired for future use, even when batteries are removed from the controller or the car.
If the pairing failed, turn off the controller and the car, move closer, and then try again. 888 6000939_UG_EN 062013.indd 8 6/21/2013 1:17:22 PM ON/OFF LED Indicator Pairing Button LED Indicator 9 6000939_UG_EN 062013.indd 9 6/21/2013 1:17:26 PM Driving Your Car and Adjusting Trim After you turn on both controller and car, squeeze the trigger to move forward and push the trigger away from the handle to go in reverse. If your car does not drive straight when you release the steering wheel, adjust the trim:
1. Determine if the car steers too far to the right or left. 2. Turn off the controller, and then push the controller trigger fully forward. 3. Turn on the controller; the LED indicator on the controller ashes. 4. Keep the trigger held forward and turn the wheel to the right or left to adjust the trim.
If the car pulls to the right, turn the wheel to the left.
If the car pulls to the left, turn the wheel to the right. 5. Release the trigger; the LED indicator stops ashing and lights steadily. Note: To avoid unintentionally adjusting the steering trim, do not operate the trigger or steering wheel when you turn on the controller. Running your XMODS continuously for long periods can generate high heat levels. If the car overheats, its overheat protection will stop the car. In this case, switch the controller and the vehicle off and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before resuming operation. When You Finish Driving To conserve battery life, turn off the controller and car after you nish driving.
Handle your XMODS car and controller carefully and do not drop them. Keep away from dust and dirt. Wipe your car and controller with a damp cloth occasionally to keep them looking new.
Keep your XMODS car and controller dry; if they get wet, wipe them dry immediately.
Use and store only in normal temperature environments. 101010 6000939_UG_EN 062013.indd 10 6/21/2013 1:17:26 PM Reverse/Brake Drive Neutral 6000939_UG_EN 062013.indd 11 6/21/2013 1:17:32 PM 11 XMODS Upgrades Modify and personalize your XMODS car with these available kits.
