IN THE CAR
Your truck uses 8 AA alkaline batteries or a 9.6V rechargeable battery pack
(neither supplied, available at your local RadioShack store) for power. You can
install AA alkaline batteries in the battery box to use the truck while the battery
pack is charging.
1. Slide ON/OFF on the side of the truck to OFF.
2. Use a coin to turn the battery compartment latches counterclockwise until
they stop. Lift the battery compartment door to remove it.
3. If you are using 9.6V battery pack, attach the battery pack’s connector to
the truck’s matching connector and place it in the recessed area.
If you are using alkaline batteries, place them in the supplied battery
compartment box according to the polarity symbols ( + and - ) marked
inside. Attach the battery box’s connector to truck’s matching connector.
Turn the box face down and place it in the recessed area.
Attach the battery pack’s connector to the car’s matching connector. Do
not force them together. They fit only one way.
4. Close the cover and turn the latches clockwise until they stop to secure
the cover.
When the truck moves slowly or does not move at all, recharge the truck’s
battery pack.
Note: Occasionally, fully discharge the battery pack before you recharge it.
Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully charge.
