LET'S GET STARTED!
TO CHARGE THE 9.6V TYCO BATTERY PACK, PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
®
1. Plug wall pack charger into standard wall outlet.
2. Connect the wires leading from the battery pack to the wall pack charger
connector. Make certain the two connectors are tightly snapped together.
3. To disconnect wires, push down on the connector clip and pull apart. 9.6V d.c. NiCd,
1 x 8 AA 800mAh.
4. Your battery pack consists of new parts and materials; therefore, you
should charge the battery pack for 5-1/2 hours the first two times you charge
the battery. Subsequent charges will require only 4 hours.
5. After charging for 4 hours, the battery will feel warm.
This condition is normal for fully charged batteries.
6. Charging the battery pack for more than 4 hours will not give you a longer
running time. 4 hours is all that is required for a fully charged battery pack.
7. Unlike alkaline batteries, where the power loss is gradual, a NiCd (Nickel-Cadmium)
battery will run for its normal running time, depending on your particular vehicle,
and then lose most of its power at once. It is time to recharge the battery pack.
8. After use, the battery pack will be hot! Wait at least 20 minutes until the battery
pack cools before recharging. Recharging a warm or hot battery pack will greatly
reduce the number of times your battery pack can be recharged.
CAUTION: Use only the charger supplied with this toy.
9.
Do not use any other charging source.

QUICK TIPS

◆
When the Terrainiac™ vehicle starts to lose power you'll start to lose performance. It's time
for a recharge. As a rule, you should always start with a fully charged battery.
◆
The vehicle's running time may change depending on your driving style.
◆
Radio interference can mess up the signals you're sending, causing the vehicle to perform
erratically. Things to look for that may be causing the interference: other R/C vehicles running
on the same frequency, electrical wires, large buildings, CB radios, or other wireless gear that
can cause interference.
◆
Point your transmitter antenna up - not down toward vehicle. If the vehicle escapes your
transmitter's range, you can kiss proper functioning goodbye.
◆
The Terrainiac™ is waterproof, so it's okay to go through puddles. NOTE: The transmitter is
NOT waterproof. Keep it dry at all times or you might ruin it.
◆
Don't store your vehicle near heat or in direct sunlight. Always turn the switches OFF.
and, if you're not planning on using the vehicle for a while, remove all the batteries... really.
It's amazing how one leaky battery can ruin a really fun toy.
