Power Up Your Controller
1. The CONTROLLER charges your micro RC and controls its steering and speed. You'll need
to install four AAA batteries (not supplied). The ZipZaps factory recommends RadioShack
Enercell Plus alkaline batteries.
2. Turn off the controller.
3. Remove the battery compartment cover and battery holder.
4. Insert the AAA batteries by matching polarity markings and then
insert battery holder.
5. Replace the cover and snap shut.
When your batteries are too weak to charge your car, the LED remains green after the frequency has been
programmed, followed by the LED alternating red and green. Replace the batteries in your CONTROLLER.
Battery Notes
!
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
!
Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable),
or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
!
If you do not plan to use your micro RC for a week or more, remove all the batteries from the
CONTROLLER to prevent leaks that can damage electronic parts.
!
Never leave dead or weak batteries in your CONTROLLER.
!
Dispose of dead batteries promptly and properly; do not burn or bury them.
