  • Cleaning: Wipe the Go Go Bird and remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse in water.
  • Storage: Store the Go Go Bird in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The included display stand can be used for convenient storage and display.
