4.3. Frequency Binding (First Use or Battery Replacement)
For the first time using the remote control, or after replacing its batteries, you need to bind the frequency with the receiver:
- Long press the frequency key (usually labeled 'S' or a similar symbol) on the remote control for 2-4 seconds. The low-speed LED lights on the remote will flash.
- Turn on the power of the ride-on car. The low-speed LED lights on the remote will change from flashing to solid light, indicating successful frequency binding.
- If the frequency binding fails (low-speed LED lights continue to flash), remove the remote control batteries and repeat steps 1-3.
