The vibration unit requires (3) size C (1.5V) batteries (not
included). Please use alkaline batteries for better
performance.

CAUTION: Follow the battery guidelines in this section.
Otherwise, battery life may be shortened or the
batteries may leak or rupture.

• Always keep batteries away from children. • Do not mix
old and new batteries. • Do not mix alkaline, standard or
rechargeable batteries. • Only batteries of the same or
equivalent type as recommended are to be used. • Install
the batteries so that the polarity of each one matches the
markings in the battery compartment. • Do not short-circuit
the batteries. • Do not store batteries in areas that have
extreme temperatures (such as attics, garages, or automo­biles). • Remove exhausted batteries from the battery
compartment. • Never attempt to recharge a battery unless
it is specifically marked “rechargeable.” • Rechargeable
batteries are to be removed from the toy before being
charged. • Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged
under adult supervision. • Do not use rechargeable alkaline
batteries in a Ni-Cad or Ni-MH battery charger.
