III. 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’ transmitters
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.

AA Alkaline battery pack (which powers the lights, sounds and
RF receiver).
For detailed information regarding rechargeable battery
charging and safety, please refer to the “Battery
Charging/Care” section.

V. BATTERY CHARGING/CARE
XCAUTION: Use only the charger supplied with this
toy. Do not use any other charging source.
Use only Tyco® R/C 7.2v NiCd battery packs. Other batteries
may leak or rupture, causing personal injury and damage.
1. Plug the wall pack charger into a 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 the 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
(Nickel-Cadmium) battery will run for its normal running time
and then lose most of its power at once. That’s how you’ll
know it’s 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
NICKEL-CADMIUM 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 NICKEL-CADMIUM RECHARGEABLE
BATTERY PACK. BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED
OF PROPERLY. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING
BATTERIES OR THEIR DISPOSAL PLEASE CALL 1-888-557-
TYCO.
VI. CONSUMER INFORMATION:
QUICK TIPS
qWhen the 3AA batteries in the vehicle are running low the
sound effects and motor will cut off. You'll then hear a
10-second beep. Change to new AA batteries. When the 7.2v
SubC NiCad is low or encounters a stall, the unit will cut the
motors and turn off the sound effects. The unit will beep as
long as the user continues to press the remote control.
wYour vehicle's running time may change depending on your
driving style.
eRadio interference can make your vehicle run badly.
Interference can be caused by other non-MultiBand™ R/C
vehicles running on the same frequency; electrical wires;
large buildings; CB radios; or other wireless gear. Try to
stay away from these!
rPoint your transmitter antenna up - not down toward your
vehicle. If your vehicle gets too far away, it won't work
properly.
tDon’t drive your vehicle in sand or through water or snow.
If your vehicle does get wet, wipe with a towel and allow it
to dry completely.
yDon’t store your vehicle near heat or in direct sunlight.
Always turn switches OFF and remove all batteries for storage.
