Install the Transmitter Battery

Your transmitter needs a 9V battery (not included). We recommend 9V alkaline batteries
for better performance. If the LED is off or the range of your buggy decreases, replace
the battery.

1. Make sure the power switch is OFF, then remove the screw
on the battery compartment.

2. Insert a 9V battery in the compartment, matching the
polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

3. Snap the cover back in place and replace the screw.

Battery Notes:

• For better performance, use the 9.6V Ni-MH battery pack. Use only a 9.6V Ni-MH battery specified

for remote control (R/C) vehicles and that precisely fits the 9.6V battery box included with this
product.

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

• 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 the vehicle for several days, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak

chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
