Baby Mantis

60-2800

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the RadioShack RC Mantis. Drive your mantis forward and backward - you’ll see its tentacles light, its eyes move, its head turn side to side, and all six legs hit the ground ru nning! Your mantis comes in two frequencies, 27 MHz and 49 MHz, so you can play with your friends. Check your box to see what frequency you have.

Installing Batteries

Your mantis requires one 9-volt battery to power the transmitter, and four AA batteries to power the receiver. Turn off the receiver before installing or replacing batteries.

• Do not burn or bury batteries.

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries, or batteries of different capacities.

• If you do not plan to use the mantis for a week or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage electronic parts.

The FCC Wants You to Know

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

• If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your mantis.

• Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RadioShack may cause interference and void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

• Using your mantis for long periods of time can generate high heat levels, resulting in motor wear and tear. Let the mantis cool for about 10 minutes.

• If the mantis does not respond to the transmitter (and fresh batteries are installed), move the transmitter closer to the mantis and try again.

• If someone is using a CB nearby, it may cause interference. Try using your mantis in a different location outside the area of interference.

• Your mantis will not operate properly near devices with transmitters that use the same frequency (27/49 MHz).
