TION:

Make sure that the ON—OFF Power Switches on both the car and the transmitter are set to “OFF” before installing any batteries.

CAR BATTERY INSTALLATION:

Find the battery compartment on the bottom of the car. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw. Turn the white wheel in front of the battery compartment until the compartment is no longer covered by the wheel and then lift off the cover. (See diagram below.) Install eight AA nickel-metal hydride batteries (not included) in the battery box, making sure to match polarity (+ and -) with the diagram inside the battery compartment. Make sure that the battery box is correctly placed in the compartment. Then replace the cover and turn the white wheel until the battery compartment is secure. Replace the screw and tighten gently.

ongratulations on your purchase of Excalibur Electronics’ radio-controlled Porsche 1:12 Scale car.

This full-function model has turbo power to give you the fastest possible speed when you want it. Other features include super suspensions, a recharging jack (optional), air-filled rubber tires, telescopic antenna, front-wheel steering trimmer and a fully detailed interior. You can go forward, reverse, turn left or right, stop and go backwards—either to the left or right!

The legendary King Arthur brandished a magic sword, Excalibur, from which we take our company name. With this unique weapon in his hands, he could not be vanquished.

Although Excalibur Electronics can’t claim the magical secrets of Merlin, King Arthur’s court wizard, sometimes our patented technology may make it seem as if we could. The radio-controlled Porsche 1:12 Scale car is another unmatched innovation of Excalibur Electronics.

We make you think.

slowly or not at all, check the wheels for lint, threads, hair, dust or other foreign materials. Carefully remove any of these materials from the wheels.

• When the car slows down or the control range decreases, insert new batteries.

• Please do not allow the car to fall off a high ledge, as a fall might damage it.

• Never disassemble your car or the transmitter.

• Do not store the car either near a source of heat or in direct sunlight for extended periods.

• You may experience interference from CB radios which use the same frequency. If this occurs, move to a new location or wait until the interference is over. Also, two or more R/C cars using the same frequency cannot operate in the same area since their signal will interfere with each other.

• The transmitter range will depend on surroundings, buildings and large metal objects. You will obtain the best results when you operate the car in an open area.

• When not in use, set the car and transmitter Power Switches to “OFF.” If you do not intend to use the car for a long time, remove the batteries, as weak or dead batteries can leak damaging chemicals.

OPERA

TION:

Extend the telescopic antenna of the controller to full length for best performance. For maximum range of control, always keep both antennae straight up.

Set the car and transmitter Power Switches to “ON.” The controller is shown by the Red Indicator. The car is ready for use. Use the transmitter’s control levers to steer the car.
