The charging indicator light will show the charging status. Allow sufficient time for a full charge before first use.

2. Installing Batteries in the Wrist Controller

The wrist controller requires batteries (not included). Open the battery compartment on the back of the wrist controller. Insert the required number and type of batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the battery compartment securely.

3. Placing Buzz Lightyear Figure
