HOW TO PLAY

Power and Pairing

1. Make sure both the remote control and vehicle are powered off.

2. Press the power button on the remote control to power on the remote control. The power LED on the remote control will glow white, fading on and off, to indicate the remote control is in pairing mode and ready to pair with the vehicle.

3. Flip the power switch (0/1) on the bottom of the vehicle to the 'on' position to power on the vehicle. The pairing light on the vehicle will glow, fading on and off, to indicate the vehicle is in pairing mode. It will automatically begin pairing with the remote control.

4. Wait for the pairing light on the remote control to quit fading on and off. It will stay solidly lit when pairing is successful.

5. If pairing is unsuccessful within 60 seconds, power off both the remote control and vehicle and then repeat steps 2 through 4.

6. Start driving!

7. If pairing is interrupted or out of range, the remote control and vehicle will both enter pairing mode and attempt to reconnect. Move the remote control and vehicle closer together. If pairing is unsuccessful within 60 seconds, power off both the remote control and vehicle and then repeat steps 2 through 4.

8. When finished driving, press the power button on the remote control to power off the remote control and flip the power switch (0/1) on the bottom of the vehicle to the 'off' position to power off the vehicle.

Note: To save battery life, the remote control and vehicle automatically enter sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. To wake from sleep mode, power off and then power on the remote control and vehicle.

IMPORTANT: If the vehicle stops suddenly while the headlights flash rapidly, power off the vehicle and wait at least 30 minutes for the battery to cool before continuing to drive.
