MULTIBAND™ FEATURE
• Your vehicle features the advanced Tyco® R/C MultiBand™
system. This system lets you race your vehicle head-to-head
– against up to two of your friends (up to 3 drivers total) –
without any radio interference from your friends’ transmiters
or vehicles. You must be racing against another Tyco® R/C
MultiBand™-equipped vehicle for this feature to work.
• There’s one MultiBand™ Selector Switch on your vehicle
chassis, and another one on your transmitter. The vehicle
switch has 3 positions: one for each MultiBand™ setting.
The transmitter switch has 3 positions: one for each
MultiBand™ setting.
• For successful operation, the vehicle switch and the
transmitter switch must be set to the same MultiBand™
setting. When you’re driving by yourself, you can set the
switches to any of the 3 MultiBand™ settings (as long as
they match).
• When you want to race head-to-head, just make sure that
each driver (up to 3 drivers total) has a vehicle and
transmitter set to a different MultiBand™ setting.
*
The transmitter’s MultiBand™ Selector Switch also serves
as the transmitter’s power switch. To operate your
vehicle, just turn the vehicle ON; then set the transmitter
switch to the desired MultiBand™ setting. Push any
transmitter control and you will be able to run and control
your vehicle.
*
You must be racing against another Tyco® R/C
MultiBand™-equipped vehicle for this feature to work. A
non-MultiBand™ vehicle, running on the same frequency
as your vehicle, may interfere with operation of your
vehicle. If you are racing against a non-MultiBand™
vehicle, make sure that vehicle operates on a frequency
different from yours.
*
If you need to change the MultiBand™ setting, first make
sure that your vehicle is turned OFF. Change the switch
position as desired, making sure to change both the
transmitter AND the vehicle switches. Then turn your
vehicle back ON for more racing action. NOTE: Make
certain you’re not pressing a transmitter control while
changing selector switch position.

Transmitter
1. To install transmitter battery, open battery cover as shown.
2. Install 2 AA alkaline batteries with polarity (-/+) as shown
inside battery compartment.
3. Replace battery cover.
7.2V d.c.
For detailed information regarding rechargeable battery
charging and safety, please refer to the “Battery
Charging/Care” Section.
Vehicle
1. Rotate the battery door latch to unlocked position and
open the battery door.
2. Insert the charged battery pack into the battery
compartment as shown.
3. Connect the battery pack’s wire connector to the vehicle’s
charging jack as shown. Make certain the connector is
securely connected.
4. Close the battery door and rotate the battery door latch to
locked position.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
321
Use only Tyco® R/C 7.2V NiCd battery
packs. Other batteries may leak or
rupture, causing personal injury and
damage.
1. Plug wall pack charger into standard
wall outlet.
2. Connect the battery pack’s wire
connector to the wall pack charger
connector. Make certain the two
connectors are tightly snapped
together.
3. To disconnect wires, push down on the
connector clip and pull apart.
4. After charging, the battery will feel
warm. This condition is normal for fully
charged batteries.
5. New battery packs must be charged for
5 1/2 hours the first two times charged.
Subsequent charges will require 4
hours. Charging the battery pack for
more than 5 1/2 hours will not give you a
longer running time. 5 1/2 hours is all
that is required for a fully charged
battery pack.
6. Unlike alkaline batteries, which lose
power gradually, a NiCd (NickelCadmium) battery will run for its normal
running time and then lose most of its
power at once. It is 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.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY INFORMATION:
DO NOT RECHARGE BATTERY PACK IF
IT’S HOT. ALLOW IT TO COOL BEFORE
RECHARGING.
DO NOT RECHARGE A BATTERY PACK
THAT SHOWS LEAKAGE OR
CORROSION.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE BATTERY
PACK. THE BATTERY PACK IS A
SEALED RECHARGEABLE NICKELCADMIUM BATTERY.
EXERCISE CAUTION IN HANDLING A
HOT BATTERY PACK.
IF BATTERY PACK AND/OR CHARGER
ARE WET, THOROUGHLY DRY BEFORE
CHARGING.
DO NOT RECHARGE NON-
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.
Note to Adults:
• Remove rechargeable batteries before
recharging. Recharge batteries only
under adult supervision.
• Regularly examine for damage to the
cord, plug, enclosure and other parts.
In the event of any damage, the toy must
not be used with the battery charger
until the damage has been repaired.
• This toy is not intended for children
under 3 years old. The battery charger
is not a toy.
THIS PRODUCT USES A NICKELCADMIUM RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
PACK. BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED OR
DISPOSED OF PROPERLY. FOR FURTHER

BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION
In exceptional circumstances batteries may leak
fluids that can cause a chemical burn injury or ruin
your toy (product). To avoid battery leakage:
• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be
recharged.

the toy before being charged (if designed to be
removable).

Battery Performance Note:
For best performance use regular or high-performance alkaline batteries (where disposable batteries
are called for). If your vehicle is supplied with
standard (carbon-zinc) batteries for initial use and/or
demonstration purposes, we recommend replacing
them with alkaline batteries when necessary. Battery
life may vary depending on battery brand.
