Helpful Hints
•Using your mantis for long periods of time can generate high heat levels, resulting in motor wear and tear. Let the mantis cool for about 10 minutes.
•If the mantis does not respond to the transmitter (and fresh batteries are installed), move the transmitter closer to the mantis and try again.
•If someone is using a CB nearby, it may cause interference. Try using your mantis in a different location outside the area of interference.
•Your mantis will not operate properly near devices with transmitters that use the same frequency (27/49 MHz).
