1. Like all radio controlled devices, this toy is suseptable to interference caused by radio frequencies emitted by other devices and by steel reinforced concrete structures. If performance is poor, first make sure the batteries in both the car and controller are freshly charged. If problems persist, try moving to a new location such as a larger space or outdoors. 2. The infrared lasers work best indoors. Normal distance is approximately 6 metres between cars. If operating outdoors, this distance will be affected by sunlight. In direct sunlight the distance may be reduced to as little as one metre. CYCLOPS SR1 SPY CAR 1. High resolution C-MOS video camera 7. Steering trim adjustment 2. Side infrared sensors 8.

% t 8 8 3 10 a 11 LASER TAG OPERATION AND PLAY The CYCLOPS SR1 is eqipped with high-tech infrared lasers and sensors for playing laser tag with other CYCLOPS SR1 cars (up to 2 players at once). OPERATING THE LASER TAG SYSEM 4. Make sure both the SR1 and the controller are switched on. (Indicated by red LED lights.) 2. Press the "Light" trigger on the controller to arm the laser system. The SR1's headlights will come on. 3. Press the "Laser" trigger on the controller to fire the laser canon. The SR1 will emit a laser firing sound. 12 LASER TAG RULES AND PLAY Just like a real spy car, the CYCLOPS SR1 is equipped with high tech laser offensive and defensive systems. 1. When the laser system is first armed, the SR1's headlights will be lit and all four LED tail lights will be on. 2. Each time any one of the infrared sensors positioned on the four sides of the SR1 is hit with a laser burst from another SR1, LED tail lights flash when car is hit all four of the LED tail lights will flash together and an audible alarm will sound for several seconds. 3. Afterward, one of the tail lights will go out, indicating a hit. This will be repeated each time a hit is received. 4. After four hits, the tail lights will flash and the alarm will sound, and then the car will be disabled for 10 seconds, during which time, the car will not respond to the controller. 5. To reset the lasers to start a new game, slide the ON/OFF switch on the bottom of the SR1 to the off position and on again. 3. SAFETY & TROUBLESHOOTING SAFE OPERATION This toy requires regular cleaning and inspection for safe operation and optimal performance. 1, Use only rechargeable nickel cadmium or nickel metal hydride batteries of the same size and type supplied (or AA alkaline batteries and the optional battery tray). 2. Never let the battery or charger get wet. Do not take the battery pack or charger apart. 3. Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Recharging batteries should only be done under adult supervision. 4. Remove batteries from the toy before recharging. Do not over charge the batteries. 5. Remove empty batteries from the car and controller. And remove batteries if the toy will not be used for more than 30 days. 6. When inserting batteries, be sure to observe polarity indicators. 7. Never use batteries from different manufacturers, and never mix old and new batteries. 8. Never short circuit the battery terminals. Check terminals frequently for corrosion. Check batteries often for leakage. 9. Never operate this toy in wet weather or damp conditions. And never leave it exposed to direct sunlight or high temperatures for more than 10 minutes. TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEM: CAUSE / SOLUTION:
Adjust the steering alignment lever on bottom of car. Car does not move in straight line. Poor range or picture quality. Batteries may be weak. Replace/recharge batteries. Car performs poorly or erratically. Possible radio interference from electrical power lines, other devices, concrete walls. Move to a different location. LCD picture is too dark or too bright. 1, Adjust brightness control dial. 2. Room may be too dark. Move to brighter location or turn on more lights. 1. Make sure reset switch on bottom of car is in the on position. 2. Make sure laser system is armed by turning on the lights. 3. Move indoors, as sunlight may interfere with infrared signals. Infrared lasers do not work properly.
