BATTERY INSTALLATION

Your VS-MAXX requires 7 type-AA batteries.

Installing Or Replacing Batteries

1. Remove cover on the bottom of the controller or receiver.

2. Remove exhausted batteries and dispose of properly.

3. Replace with new type-AA batteries. Be sure the positive
(+) and negative (-) ends of the batteries are facing the
correct direction (see image). For best results use only
fresh, high quality, alkaline batteries.

4. Replace battery cover.

Battery Warnings

• Remove the batteries when your VS-MAXX will not be
used for a long time.

• Battery installation should be supervised by an adult.

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• Do not mix alkaline batteries with standard (carbon-zinc)

or rechargeable batteries.

• Do not mix different brands of batteries.

• Only use batteries of the same type recommended in this

manual.

• Be sure to insert batteries with correct polarity.

• Remove exhausted from the product.

• Do not short circuit the supply terminals.

• Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries

(alkaline or standard).

If the images on your TV screen begin to break up or blur,
your batteries are probably getting weak. When the batteries
fi nally lose their charge, the Power LED will dim, and the
VS-MAXX will turn itself off.

CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS

Your VS-MAXX game console connects to the TV set via a
pair of standard RCA plugs. Most TV sets, video monitors,
and VCRs have easily accessible RCA-type jacks. These
are color coded to indicate the video connection (yellow)
and audio connections (red and/or white).These A/V
connections will be located either in the front or back of
your TV, video monitor, or VCR. The A/V plugs on the
VS-MAXX console must be connected to the proper “input”
RCA-type jacks. Be sure to insert the yellow video jack into
the yellow socket. The remaining audio plug can be inserted
into either the white or red audio socket on your TV, video
monitor, or VCR.

In order to play your VS-MAXX game, you’ll need to tune
your TV to the proper channel. This is often called “input”,
“auxiliary”, or “line in.” In some cases, you’ll need to use the
remote that came with your TV, video monitor, or VCR to
locate this channel.

Note: If your TV, video monitor, or VCR does not have RCA
jacks, you will need to purchase a separate A/V adaptor (not
included).

The VS-MAXX handset communicates with the console by
a harmless infrared beam. In order to function properly, the
transmitter on the front of the handset must have a clear
path to the receiving console on your television. If your
game does not respond when you press buttons or move the
joystick, make sure both units are turned on and nothing is
blocking the IR beam.

USING YOUR VS-MAXX

Turning On Your VS-MAXX

1. Make sure your VS-MAXX is turned off before
connecting it to your television set.

2. Connect the RCA plugs to your TV, VCR, or video
monitor.

2. Turn your television on and switch to the A/V channel.
This is often called input, video, line in, or auxiliary mode.
You might have to change channels using the TV, video
monitor, or VCR remote control to access it. Look for a
button marked input on the remote.

3. Slide the VS-MAXX power switches to the “ON”
position. Be sure to turn on both the console and the
joystick.

4. Select the game you want to play using the joystick, then
press “START”.

Turning Off Your VS-MAXX

1. After you have fi nished playing, slide the power
switches on the joystick and console to the “OFF”
position.

2. Disconnect the VS-MAXX from the television and switch
the channel back to view regular TV programs.
