Simply turn on both the car and the remote control, and they should connect automatically. If connection issues occur, ensure both devices have fresh batteries and are within range.

The remote control features intuitive buttons for controlling the RC car's movement:
- Forward Button: Press to move the car forward.
- Reverse Button: Press to move the car backward.

- Right Turn Button: Press to turn the car right while moving forward or backward.
The car can reach speeds of up to 5 mph, and the remote control has a range of up to 98 feet. The 2.4GHz frequency allows multiple RASTAR RC cars to be operated simultaneously without interference.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the car and remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or chemical cleaners, as this may damage electronic components.
- Storage: Store the RC car and remote in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Battery Care: Always remove batteries from the car and remote if they will not be used for an extended period. This prevents battery leakage and potential damage.
- Inspection: Periodically check for loose screws or damaged parts. Do not operate if any parts are broken or missing.
