Step Four

Adjusting the Trim Controls

Trim I

The transmitter’s neutral trim control lets you fine-tune the speed control so the Hummer H2 stops completely when you release the speed control to its center position. If Trim I is set too far to the left, the vehicle will move backward. If it is set too far to the right, the vehicle may continue forward.

Trim II

The transmitter’s steering trim control lets you fine-tune the steering so the Hummer H2 drives in a straight line. If it is set too far to the left or right, the vehicle may drive in those directions.

• Turn the Hummer H2 over on its side so the tires do not touch the ground.

• Turn on the transmitter and the Hummer H2.

• If the tires move, turn Trim I until the tires stop.

• If the front tires appear to angle left or right, adjust Trim II until the tires appear to be straight.

• When you finish your adjustments, turn off the transmitter and the Hummer H2.

Do not touch the tires or the steering control during this adjustment. You may have to fine-tune the trim controls after using the Hummer H2 for a while.

Never set Trim I to make the Hummer H2 continually move.

Care & Use

• Use extreme care when running the Hummer H2. It can reach much higher speeds (up to 1200 feet per minute) than most remote-controlled cars.

• Avoid high-impact collisions with people or objects when you drive the Hummer H2.

• Do not touch the motor immediately after using the Hummer H2, as it might become hot during use.

• Do not play with your Hummer H2 in the street.

• If your Hummer H2 gets stuck under an object, immediately release the transmitter’s control levers and retrieve the Hummer H2.

• Keep the Hummer H2 dry. If it gets wet, dry it immediately. Use and store the Hummer H2 in normal temperature environments.

• Wipe the Hummer H2 with a damp cloth to keep it looking new. Keep it away from dust and dirt.

The FCC Wants You to Know

Your Hummer H2 might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To determine whether your Hummer H2 is causing the interference, turn off your Hummer H2. If the interference goes away, your Hummer H2 is causing it. Try to eliminate the interf erence by:

• moving your Hummer H2 away from the receiver

• contacting your local RadioShack store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your Hummer H2.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to th e follo wing two c ond iti ons: (1) t his d evic e ma y not cause harmful inte rference, and (2) this d evice must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Helpful Hints

• Your Hummer H2 comes in three frequencies so you and your friends can play together. If you race other remote-controlled cars, be sure to set your Hummer H2 and transmitter to a different frequency than your playmate.

• Driving your Hummer H2 for long periods of time can cause a high heat level, which causes wear and tear on the motor. To help keep heat levels down, let your vehicle cool for 10 minutes before installing a new battery pack.

• If you want to run your Hummer H2 for extended periods, we suggest you buy an extra battery pack. Y ou can charge one while you use the other.

• If the Hummer H2 moves slowly or not at all, and you have installed a fresh battery pack, check the wheel mechanisms for lint, hair, dust or thread.

• If the Hummer H2’s motor runs, but does not respond to the transmitter, move closer to the Hummer H2 and try again.

• If someone uses a CB nearby , it might interfere with control of your Hummer H2. If this happens, move your Hummer H2 away from the CB.

• You cannot operate the Humm er H2 near devices with transmitters that use the same frequency as your Hummer H2 (27 MHz with three bands).

• If the Hummer H2 does not drive in a straight line, adjust the wheel alighment control on the side of the Hummer H2. If it pulls to the right, slide the control toward L. If it pulls to the left, slide the control toward R.

Battery Notes

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

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

• If you do not plan to use your Hummer H2 for a week or more, remove the battery from the transmitter and the battery pack from the Hummer H2. Batteries can leak chemicals that may destroy electronic parts.

• Never leave dead or weak batteries in the Hummer H2 or transmitter.

• Be sure the battery pack’s connectors and wires do not touch any of the Hummer H2’s moving parts.

• Use the recommended battery pack and charger only.

• If your Hummer H2 does not respond to the transmitter, replace the 9V batteries in the Hummer H2 and the transmitter. If the Hummer H2 loses power, replace or recharge the battery pack.

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

• When you disconnnect the battery pack from the charger, do not pull on the connector’s wires. You might damage the battery pack.

• Dispose of batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
