interfere with each other. In such a case, move to
another place or wait until the other RC user has
nished operating his/her vehicle.
Important:
• If driving time becomes shorter or
propellers do not turn with full power,
the capacity of the 9V battery or 9.6V
battery pack are insufcient. Power
LED light becomes dimmer as batter-
ies wear. This is the tell-tale sign you
need to replace the 9V
battery or recharge the 9.6V
battery pack.
• Be sure to recharge the hovercraft
just before operating it. If you do not
play with the hovercraft immediately
after recharging, the charge
is drained and the hovercraft
cannot drive.
• When the battery temperature
gets too high, the circuit shuts off
automatically to protect the receiver
circuit and the battery in the hover-
craft. In such a case, wait until the
battery cools down before recharging
or playing with the hovercraft.
• If the rechargeable battery is
repeatedly charged without
being sufciently discharged rst,
the capacity will gradually decrease
(memory effect of battery). This
is a characteristic of rechargeable
batteries.
