6. Troubleshooting

• Tank Not Responding: Ensure both the tank and radio controller are powered on. Check battery connections and charge levels for both devices. Verify that the controller is properly paired with the tank.
• No Smoke Output: Confirm that smoke liquid has been added to the reservoir. Allow a few moments for the heating element to warm up.
• BB Pellets Not Firing: Check if the BB loading hatch is properly closed and if there are enough pellets loaded. Ensure the firing mechanism is not jammed.
• Erratic Movement: This could indicate low battery on either the tank or controller, or interference from other 2.4Ghz devices. Try operating in a different location.
