User's Manual

3. The video camera is adjustable up and down to give you a wider field of vision. Use this
feature to look at the underside of your subject. Remember to adjust the camera before
you send the Spy Video Car on a mission.
4. Note: Just like the real night vision systems used by spies around the world, the Video
Car night vision light is invisible to the human eye. True stealth technology!
Note: Night vision has no effect in brightly lit areas. Your Spy Video Car will operate normally with
the night vision light on in all lighting conditions.
