• Batteries purchased for use in this to y may pose a hazard to children. Please check the safety notice supplied with the batteries before use.

• Before using the battery pack, yo u must charge it using a special battery charger (not supplied, available at your local RadioShack store). Follow the charger's instructions to charge the battery pack. You can install and drive the car using alkaline batteries while the battery pa ck is charging.

• If the vehicle runs slowly, not at all, or does not respond to the transmit ter, recharge the battery pack, or replace the AA batteries.

• Do not charge or recharge the battery pack while it is in the vehicle.

• After you charge or recharge the battery pack, disconnect it from the charger. Overcharging the battery pack could damage it.

• If you use alkaline batteries to power the motor, they will get very hot. Be sure to wait a few minutes aft er you stop usin g the vehicle before you remove the batteries.

• Using alkaline batter ies slig htly dec rease s your vehicle's speed.

• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.

• 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 (standar d, al kali ne , or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

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

• Running your vehicle c ont inuously for long periods of time gen er ates high heat levels. Heat causes wear an d tea r on the motor. To keep heat levels down, let the vehicle cool at least 10 minutes before installing a new or newly charged battery pack.

• If the vehicle's motor runs but it does not respond to the transmitter, move closer to the vehicle and try again.

• If someone uses a CB nearby, it might interfere with control of the vehicle. If this happens, move the vehicle away from the CB.

• You cannot operate your vehicle near devices with transmitters that use the same frequency as your vehicle (27 MHz or 49 MHz). Check you vehicle's box to see which frequency your vehicle uses.

• If the vehicle moves slowly and you just installed a fully charged battery pack, check the wheel mechanisms for lint, thread, hair, or dust.

• Do not drive the vehicle in puddles, on a wet floor, on sand, in mud, rain, or snow. This can damage the vehicle.

• If the vehicle gets stuck under an object, immediately rele ase the control levers and retrieve the vehicle.
