Operating Instructions
1. Placing the Cars
Place the sensor-controlled cars onto the starting points of the track. Ensure they are properly seated on the track rails.
2. Activating and Racing
To activate the cars and make them race, place your hand over the sensor area on the track (usually near the starting line) and wave it rapidly from side to side. The cars require at least 15 rapid hand movements within 5 seconds to activate. The speed of the cars is directly proportional to the speed and intensity of your hand movements over the sensor. Wave faster to make your cars go faster!
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the track and cars with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure no moisture enters the battery compartments or sensor areas.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries in the cars when their performance diminishes. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the Setup section.
- Storage: Store the track set in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
