2. Insert 6 x 1.5V AA batteries (not provided) according to the polarity markings.
3. Close the battery cover securely.

2. Remote Control Pairing

To establish a connection between the tank and the remote control:

1. Ensure both the tank and the remote control are powered off.
2. Turn on the tank's power switch.

Use the joysticks on the remote control to maneuver the tank:

• Left Joystick (Forward/Backward): Push forward to move the tank forward, pull back to move backward.
• Right Joystick (Turning): Push left or right to turn the tank in the corresponding direction.
• The 7.0 mainboard provides proportional control, allowing for precise speed and turning adjustments.

2. Turret Control

The tank features a highly maneuverable turret:

• Turret Rotation: Use the designated buttons or joystick on the remote control to rotate the turret 360 degrees.
• Barrel Elevation: Control the barrel to move up and down approximately 30 degrees using the remote control.

3. BB Shooting Function

Your tank is equipped with a BB shooting mechanism:

1. Loading BBs: Open the BB loading hatch on the turret and carefully insert 6mm BB pellets. Close the hatch securely.
2. Firing: Press the designated firing button on the remote control to shoot BB pellets. The tank will simulate a hull-recoil action and produce a firing sound effect.
3. The shooting range is approximately 20 meters. Always ensure a clear and safe firing zone.

4. Smoke Generator

To activate the smoke generator:

• Press the smoke generator button on the remote control.
• The smoke production will increase as the tank moves faster, simulating engine exhaust.

5. Infrared Combat System

Engage in exciting battles with other infrared-compatible RC tanks:

• The tank features an infrared combating system that allows multiple players to participate in a tank war.
• The 2.4Ghz radio control system ensures that multiple tanks can combat together without radio interference.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Regular cleaning helps maintain the tank's appearance and functionality:

• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the tank body after each use.
• For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no water enters electronic components.

2. Track Maintenance

Inspect the metal tracks, sprocket wheels, and idler wheels regularly:

• Remove any debris, such as small rocks or dirt, that may get caught in the tracks.
• Check for any loose or damaged track links and repair or replace as necessary.

3. Smoke Generator Care

Proper care of the smoke generator is crucial for its longevity:

• Always use the recommended ethylene glycol smoke liquid.
• Do not overfill the reservoir; only one drop is needed per use.
• If the smoke generator is not used for an extended period, empty any remaining liquid and clean the reservoir.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your tank, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Tank not responding: Ensure both the tank and remote control are powered on and successfully paired. Check battery levels in both devices.
• No smoke production: Verify that smoke liquid has been added to the reservoir (one drop only). Ensure the smoke generator is activated via the remote control.
• BBs not firing: Check if BB pellets are loaded correctly. Ensure the safety switch for the BB gun is disengaged (if applicable).
• Tracks not moving smoothly: Inspect tracks for debris or damage. Ensure the metal gearboxes and steel gears are free from obstruction.
