ZipZaps Care

If your micro RC’s motor runs,but it does not respond to the CONTROLLER, move closer to your micro RC and try again.

You cannot operate your micro RC near devices that use the same channel as your micro RC. Check your micro RC’s CONTROLLER to see which frequency your car uses.

Turn off the controller and the RC, and then turn them on before repeating the programming and charging.

If your micro RC moves slowly and you just charged or recharged it, check the wheel mechanisms for lint, thread, hair, or dust.

CBs could interfere with control of your micro RC. If this happens,move it away from the CB.

The FCC Wants You to Know

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

moving your Micro RC 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 Micro RC.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Power Up Your Controller

1. The CONTROLLER charges your micro RC and controls its steering and speed.You’ll need to install four AAA batteries (not supplied).The ZipZaps factory recommends RadioShack Enercell Plus alkaline batteries.

2. Turn off the controller.

3. Remove the battery compartment cover and battery holder.

4. Insert the AAA batteries by matching polarity markings and then insert battery holder.

5. Replace the cover and snap shut.

When your batteries are too weak to charge your car,the LED remains green after the frequency has been programmed, followed by the LED alternating red and green. Replace the batteries in your CONTROLLER.

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 micro RC for a week or more, remove all the batteries from the

CONTROLLER to prevent leaks that can damage electronic parts.

Never leave dead or weak batteries in your CONTROLLER.

Dispose of dead batteries promptly and properly; do not burn or bury them.
