Safety Information
Please read and understand all safety precautions before operating the Battle Machines RC vehicles. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage.
- Adult Supervision: Recommended for children aged 8 years and up. Adult supervision is advised during operation, especially during initial setup and play.
- Battery Safety: Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries. Dispose of batteries properly.
- Choking Hazard: This product contains small parts and is not suitable for children under 3 years of age.
- Operating Environment: Operate vehicles on flat, clear surfaces. Avoid water, sand, or excessive dirt, which can damage internal components. Do not operate near people, pets, or fragile objects.
- Laser Safety: The vehicles use a low-power laser for combat tag. Do not aim the laser directly at eyes.
- Heat Warning: Batteries may become warm during charging or extended use. Allow them to cool before recharging or storing.
Setup
- Install Remote Control Batteries: Locate the battery compartment on the back of each remote control. Open the compartment and insert the included AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
- Charge Vehicle Batteries: The RC vehicles feature integrated Lithium-Ion batteries with USB charging technology. Locate the USB charging cable on each vehicle (typically stored in a compartment or under the chassis). Plug the USB connector into a standard USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). The charging indicator light on the vehicle will illuminate during charging and turn off or change color when fully charged. A full charge provides up to 25 minutes of play.
- Power On: Once batteries are installed and vehicles are charged, turn on the power switch on each RC vehicle and its corresponding remote control. The power indicator lights should illuminate.
- Pairing: The vehicles and remotes are designed to automatically pair when powered on. If a connection is not established, turn both the vehicle and remote off, then turn them back on. Ensure no other 2.4 GHz devices are causing interference nearby.

Operating Instructions
- Driving Controls:
- Use the joystick or directional pad on the remote control to steer the vehicle.
- Push forward to move the vehicle forward.
- Pull backward to move the vehicle in reverse.
- Turn the joystick left or right to steer the vehicle in the corresponding direction.
- Laser Combat Tag:
- Each vehicle starts with three lives, indicated by the green, yellow, and red shield lights on the rear sensor. Green indicates full health, yellow indicates one hit taken, and red indicates two hits taken.
- Aim your vehicle's laser emitter (located on the front) at your opponent's rear sensor.
- When a successful hit is registered, the opponent's vehicle will react (e.g., flash lights, make a sound) and one of their shield lights will turn off.
- The first player to land three hits on their opponent's vehicle wins the round.
- Resetting the Battle: After a player has lost all three lives, press the rear sensor button on the defeated vehicle to reset its lives and begin a new round.
- Multi-Player Play: The 2.4 GHz frequency allows for up to 16+ players to engage in combat simultaneously within a range of approximately 100 feet. Ensure each vehicle is paired with its unique remote control.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the vehicles and remote controls. Do not use water or cleaning solvents, as they can damage electronic components.
- Storage: Store the vehicles and remote controls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries from remote controls if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
- Battery Care: Do not overcharge the vehicle's Lithium-Ion battery. Always allow the battery to cool down before recharging.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle not responding to remote. | Low batteries in remote or vehicle; not paired; interference. | Replace remote batteries. Charge vehicle battery. Turn both off and on again to re-pair. Move to an area with less interference. |
| Short operating range. | Low batteries; environmental interference. | Ensure batteries are fully charged. Operate in an open area away from large metal objects or other electronic devices. |
| Laser hits not registering. | Obstruction of sensor; incorrect aim; bright light interference. | Ensure the rear sensor is clear. Aim directly at the opponent's sensor. Avoid playing in extremely bright sunlight if issues persist. |
| Vehicle moves slowly or inconsistently. | Low vehicle battery. | Recharge the vehicle's battery fully. |
