When To Replace Batteries

If this toy is working slowly or erratically, it’s likely that batteries need to be replaced. While it is possible that all batteries may need replace- ment, the batteries that will need replacement most often are the batteries in the car, followed by the remote controller, and then the control tower. For more information, see the troubleshooting guide beginning on page 19.

Battery Tips

•We recommend using alkaline batteries for longer battery life.

•Do not mix old and new batteries.

•Do not mix different types of batteries: alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium).

•Remove the batteries during long periods of non-use. Always remove exhausted batteries from the toy. Battery leakage and corrosion can damage this toy. Dispose of batteries safely.

•Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode or leak.

•Never short circuit the battery terminals.

•Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.

•Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended in the "Battery Installation" instructions are to be used.

•If removable rechargeable batteries are used, they are only to be charged under adult supervision.

•Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the toy before they are charged.

•If you use a battery charger, it should be examined regularly for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts. Do not use a damaged battery charger until it has been properly repaired.
