OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.

Your RadioShack Deceiver will fool all
your friends as it transforms from a
monster truck into a high-profile race
car and back at the touch of a butto n!
The Deceiver’s headlights blink and
the engine makes realistic sounds.

The Deceiver comes in two frequen­cies — 27 MHz and 49 MHz — so you
can race with your friends. Check the
box for the frequency listing.

The Deceiver is recommended for
ages 8 and up.

Your Deceiver or transmitter might
cause TV or radio interference even
when it is operating properly. To de­termine whether your Deceiver or
transmitter is causing the interfer­ence, turn off your Deceiver and re­lease the transmitter’s control sticks.
If the interference goes away, your
Deceiver or transmitter is causing it.
Try to eliminate the interference by:

• Moving your Deceiver or transmit­ter away from the TV or radio

• Contacting your local RadioShack
store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interfer­ence, the FCC requires that you stop
using your Deceiver and transmitter.
