Features

*The controller (transmitter) has a built-in battery recharger. Attach iTruck to the controller

for quick recharging and lasting power.
*A large volume, high-power nickel metal hydride battery is built into the chassis.
*The controller has only 1 control stick. Forward-backward running, left-right turns, and

stopping are all possible with single-hand operations.

Battery requirements:

Size "AA" "UM3" "R6" alkaline batteries x 2 (No other type of battery should be used)

Battery Characteristics and Recharging Tips

When playing for the first time after purchase, or after a long interval, the battery power
may be weak. Even after recharging, the running time can be relatively short. The
battery will gradually regain power after 2 or 3 repetitions of usage and recharging.
Also, if you keep the power switch turned ON for a long time, the battery power will be
discharged. Make sure to turn OFF the power switch immediately after use.

If the product is used in low temperatures, the battery duration can be shorter than
normal. This is a characteristic feature of the battery and is not a defect. The situation
can be improved by recharging the battery immediately before playing. The battery
power tends to be weakened as time elapses.

Battery installation:

*Install the batteries in the controller.
(This product operates only with size "AA" "UM3" "R6"alkaline batteries. If you use man­ganese or other types of batteries, the nickel metal hydride battery built into the vehicle
may not be recharged fully. Be sure to use ONLY alkaline dry cell batteries.)

Make sure that the power switch of the controller is turned OFF.
Use a ballpoint pen, pencil or sharp tools to push the release button of the battery
lid. While pressing the button, slide the lid a little bit as shown in the diagram.
*Slide out the lid with your hand and detach.
*Be careful so that the pencil lead will not be broken.
Install 2 size "AA" "UM3" "R6" alkaline batteries, making sure that the (+) and (-)
ends are positioned properly.
Attach the battery lid again. Slide the lid back into position until the release button
clicks. (Lift up the rear end of the battery lid slightly to fit the lid into the groove as
shown in the diagram. Then, keep the lid flat and slide into the groove.)

close the lid.

removal
button

There is a safety hook on the controller to prevent ve­hicle from falling off while recharging. When vehicle is
fully recharged, the green LED lamp will turn off. When
this has been confirmed, keep pressing the recharg­ing release button on the side of the controller, and
pull vehicle toward you to detach it from the controller.

How to Operate

Turn the power switch ON.

First, turn ON the controller power switch, and then turn ON the iTruck power
switch.
Tilt the controller stick in the direction you wish to move iTruck, and it will start
moving.
If either the antenna on iTruck or the controller is bent, the radio waves will not
reach a long distance. Straighten them before playing. When you finish playing,
be sure to remove the batteries from the controller.

Controller operations and iTruck movements.

Steering Alignment

If iTruck does not move straight forward or straight
backward, try adjusting the steering alignment le­ver on the bottom side of iTruck. If the vehicle
tends to go to the right, move the alignment lever

Steering alignment lever

toward L. If the vehicle tends to go to the left,
move the lever toward R.

Extended Operating Time (follow-up recharging)

Recharge the battery once. Without using the
battery, recharge a second time. This ”follow-up
recharging” will lengthen the playing time.
Moreover, if you recharge the battery 3 times in a
row before use, the playing time will be extended
even more.
However, be careful NOT to recharge the battery
more than 3 times in a row.
Also, note that the battery duration differs depend­ing on how you play.

* Operation Techniques *

For smooth cornering, move the stick
slightly forward or reverse and then slide it
to the left or right.
This will enable
smooth left/right
turns. If you mas­ter this basic tech­nique, you will be
able to make a let­ter ”8” slalom, etc.
This cornering technique will enable the
user to operate iTruck on the table or in
other small places.

Features of the Controller

This controller enables single-hand
operation for all movements.
Therefore, you can do something
else while operating iTruck.

The position of the stick and

the direction of the vehicle.
