BATTERY INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Battery installation and replacement should be done by an adult. This product is not suitable for children under 36 months, it contains small parts.

T o insert the batteries, loosen the screws on the battery compartment cover at the back of the game. Insert 4 "C" or "LR14" batteries and 1"9V" battery (not included) into the battery compartment, making sure to align the "+" and "-" signs as shown.

Off

Hold the racket so that it is perpendicular to the tennis court and parallel to the mechanism box ( see illustrations below )

When the light appears on your side of the tennis court, swing the racket to "HIT" the light back toward your opponent. It is more effective to "HIT" the light ball with a forward pushing movement rather than a full swing.
