IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION

metal contact

TRANSMITTER

NOTE: The batteries used in the 6V DP P o wer Clip will gradually lose pow er o ver their lifetime.

You will notice a decrease in performance as this occurs. The 6.0V Jet Turbo rechargeable NiCd battery pack will run at a sustained high power level for virtually its entire run time.

■ Insure that battery polarity is

correct.

■ Use only batteries of the type

recommended (or equivalent).

■ Do not mix old and new batteries.

■ Do not mix alkaline, standard

(carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

■ Remove used-up batteries

immediately. Remove batteries if vehicle will not be used for a long period.

■ For best performance use alkaline

batteries. Battery life may vary depending on battery brand. Toy performance may decrease as batteries weaken.

■ Do not recharge

non-rechargeable batteries.

■ Do not short-circuit terminals.

■ Remove rechargeable batteries

before recharging.

■ Recharge batteries only under

adult supervision.

■ Dispose of batteries safely.

BATTERY CHARGING/CARE - 6.0V JET TURBO BATTERY

■ This economical system is the only rechargeable NiCd battery pack and charger made to power your TYCO

R/C vehicle.

■ Rechargeable up to 1000 times!

■ This vehicle uses a Nickel-Cadmium rechargeable battery pack. Must be recycled

or disposed of properly.

1. Plug wall pack charger into standard wall outlet.

2. Click the battery pack into the charger. Make certain the battery pack is secure

in charger.

3. To disconnect, push the red button on the side of charger and simultaneously slide

battery pack out.

4. After charging for 4 hours, the battery will feel warm. This condition

is normal for fully charged batteries.

5. New battery packs must be charged for 5

⁄2

hours the first two times charged. Subsequent charges will require only 4 hours. Charging the battery pack for more than 4 hours will not give you a longer running time. 4 hours is all that is required for a fully charged battery pack

6. Unlike alkaline batteries, where the power loss is gradual, a NiCd (Nickel-Cadmium) battery will run for its

normal running time and then lose most of its power at once. It is now time to recharge the battery pack.

7. After use, the battery pack will be hot! Wait at least 20 minutes until the battery pack cools before recharging.

Recharging a warm or hot battery pack will greatly reduce the number of times your battery pack can be recharged.

This vehicle uses a Nickel-Cadmium rechargeable battery pack. Must be recycled or disposed of properly.

Note: If you have any questions about proper disposal of Nickel-Cadmium batteries, contact your local county office of solid waste management or other appropriate local office for information.
