2. Open the battery compartment cover.
3. Insert the required batteries (typically AA or AAA, refer to packaging if not specified here) ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

2. Charging the Truck Battery

The transmitter (remote control) also functions as the charging station for the truck's integrated rechargeable battery.

1. Ensure the remote control has fresh batteries installed.
2. Locate the charging cable or port on the remote control, usually hidden under a flap or integrated into the design.
3. Connect the charging cable from the remote control to the charging port on the Mini RC truck.
4. The 'Charging Light' on the remote control will illuminate (or blink) to indicate charging is in progress.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On

1. Ensure the truck is fully charged and the remote control has fresh batteries.
2. Turn on the remote control using its power switch. The 'Function Light' may illuminate.
3. Turn on the Mini RC truck using its power switch (usually located on the underside or side of the vehicle).

2. Driving the Truck

The remote control provides simple, 2-channel operation:

• Forward/Backward: Use the vertical lever or button on the left side of the remote control to move the truck forward or backward.
• Left/Right: Use the directional pad on the right side of the remote control to steer the truck left or right. Note that steering is typically full left or full right, not proportional.

Practice in an open area to get accustomed to the controls. The truck operates best on smooth, flat surfaces.
