Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure all required batteries are inserted correctly into both the car and the remote handset according to the polarity markings in the battery compartment. Check that the power switch on the underside of the car is toggled to the 'ON' position before attempting to pair the controller. To maintain the vehicle, wipe down the chassis with a dry cloth after each use to remove dust. Avoid exposing the internal electronics to water or extreme humidity. Store the car in a cool, dry place to ensure the longevity of the motor and plastic components.
