![HOW TO PLAYThese instructions are in two parts(please read both parts before operating):1. These "How to Play" instructions giveyou detailed instructions for game play.2. The Owner’s Manual tells you aboutbasic operation and battery installa-tion.Please read all consumer and safetyinformation before operating. Keep allinstructions for future reference: theycontain important information.I. INTRODUCTIONROBOT SHOWDOWN™ is a cool actionset. You control the full-function R/C vehi-cle. The awesome pursuit robot usesinfrared technology to track and follow thevehicle. If the robot hits your vehicle’s rearbumper three times, the vehicle will flipover…the robot wins. But if you can hitthe robot’s rear bumper with the vehicle,you’ll shut down the robot…and you win.Keep reading for detailed step-by-stepinstructions.II. SETUPPlease refer to Owner’s Manual fordetailed battery installation instructions.❶Install batteries in vehicle, transmitterand robot.❷Hold the vehicle right-side-up. Carefullyand firmly push the flip arm into positionuntil it clicks securely in place. The fliparm requires some effort to operate;make sure that it has clicked into posi-tion before releasing it. ❸Make sure the mode switch is inunlocked position.❹Turn vehicle switch on. The vehiclepower switch has 3 positions: indoor[GRAPHIC], off [GRAPHIC], and outdoor[GRAPHIC]. Select the proper positionfor indoor or outdoor use.❺Turn robot switch on. The robot willmake a cool "power-up" sound.CAUTION: Flip arm can be activatedduring handling. Keep clear of the fliparm when handling.When you take the robot out of the pack-age, its upper body will be rotated to oneside. Rotate the upper body so the robot isfacing front before starting play.III. SKILL LEVEL1. Use the robot’s select button to chooseyour skill level. After the "power-up"sound ends, press the select button asfollows:Press once for "easy" skill level (1 beep)Press a second time for "medium" skilllevel (2 beeps)Press a third time for "expert" skill level (3beeps)Press again to return to "easy" skill leveland cycle through skill levels again.2. Once you’ve selected your skill level,press and hold the select button tostart. The robot will "laugh" to confirmyour choice.IV. GET STARTED1. Place the vehicle on the ground, about 1meter from the robot (any direction).2. The robot will turn around in "search"mode, looking for the infrared signalfrom the vehicle. The robot’s headlightwill come on when it’s in tracking mode.3. Start driving the vehicle. The robot willlock on to the infrared signal and follow,trying to hit the vehicle’s rear bumper.V. HOW TO WIN1. If the robot hits the vehicle’s rearbumper three times, the vehicle will flipover. The robot wins!2. At random intervals during the chase,the robot will "run low" on power. Whenthat happens, the "low power" alertsound will go off, the robot’s lights willflash, and it will stop moving to"recharge." At this time the robot is vul-nerable to attack.3. While the robot is vulnerable, you cansteer your vehicle to come up behindthe robot and hit its rear bumper. Thatwill deactivate the robot. You win!When the robot is deactivated, it will fallforward and make a "power down"sound.VI. RESETIf you’ve won:1. To start over, return the robot to itsupright position. (You’ll feel a click.)2. Press the select button again to choosea skill level and start over.If the robot has won:1. Deactivate the robot by tapping therobot’s rear bumper.2. Hold the vehicle right-side-up. Carefullyand firmly push the flip arm into positionuntil it clicks securely in place. The fliparm requires some effort to operate;make sure that it has clicked into posi-tion before releasing it.3. Press the select button again to choosea skill level and start over.IMPORTANT INFORMATION1. CAUTION: Flip arm can be acti-vated during handling. Keep clear ofthe flip arm when handling. 2. If the flip arm does not spring out afterthree hits, reset the mechanism by hold-ing the vehicle right-side-up while mov-ing the mode switch from unlockedposition to locked position – then backto unlocked position.3. For long-term storage, store the vehiclewith the flip arm released. Storing thevehicle this way will maintain best per-formance.4. To operate the vehicle as a full-functionR/C – without the robot – hold the vehi-cle right-side-up while moving the modeswitch to locked position. This will lockthe flip arm. Move the mode switchback to unlocked position (while holdingthe vehicle right-side-up) to unlock theflip arm for robot pursuit action.5. If you are taking a quick "break" fromplay – or if you are transporting yourvehicle from one place to another - –hold the vehicle right-side-up whilemoving the mode switch to locked posi-tion. This will lock the flip arm. Move themode switch back to unlocked position(while holding the vehicle right-side-up)to unlock the flip arm for robot pursuitaction.VII. TIPS & HINTS1. In "easy" skill level, the robot stays vul-nerable for a longer period, giving you abetter chance to deactivate it. In "medi-um" and "expert" skill levels, the periodsof vulnerability get shorter…making fora more challenging game.2. The best tracking range is 3-4 metersbetween vehicle and robot. If your vehi-cle gets beyond this distance, drive itback into range. The robot will "reac-quire" the vehicle’s infrared signal oncethe vehicle is back in range.3. If an obstacle interrupts the infraredbeam between the robot and the vehi-cle, the connection will be temporarilybroken. The robot will go back into"search" mode until it reacquires thevehicle’s signal. You can use this fea-ture to "hide" from the robot…for extragame action.4. This product is not designed for use inconfined areas. Make sure you haveenough room to play.5. The infrared emitters on the top of thevehicle and the infrared receivers insidethe robot must be clean and unobstruct-ed for proper operation. If necessary,carefully use a brush – or a clean, drycloth – to clear any obstruction.6. The robot’s movable arms are designedto "break away" on impact. Simply reat-tach them to the robot’s body.7. Like many other infrared devices, thisproduct may operate poorly aroundbright reflective surfaces (like mirrors).In addition, some electronic deviceswith remote controllers may affect itsoperation. You may need to choose analternative place to play.8. For best performance when playingindoors, make sure the vehicle’s 3-posi-tion power switch is set to "indoor" posi-tion [GRAPHIC]. For best performancewhen playing outdoors, make sure thevehicle’s 3-position power switch is setto "outdoor" position [GRAPHIC].9. The infrared emitters on the top of thevehicle draw battery power wheneverthe vehicle is switched on. Be sure toturn the vehicle and the robot switchesOFF when not in use, and remove allbatteries for storage.[LEGALS]](https://usermanual.wiki/Mattel-Toys-A-Division-of-Mattel/91556-02A2T/User-Guide-238265-Page-2.png)
