ANSWERQUESTION
How do I make the lights and sound work?
How do I replace the batteries?
My radio control (R/C) RIDE won’t work at all.
Press down on your hood scoop. If lights and sound won’t play or are weak, you may need to replace the
batteries. The lights and sound work only if the power switch on your vehicle is in the ON position.
RIDEMAKERZ radio-control vehicles have a removable battery case that must be removed in order to
replace all the batteries. First, remove the battery compartment cover using a Phillips head screwdriver,
then turn the locking tab clockwise to release the battery case. Pull straight up to remove the battery
case. Replace all batteries with fresh alkaline batteries, following the polarity (+/-) indicated inside the
battery compartment. Replace the battery case, pressing down firmly. (OR, if you are using the recharge-
able Ni-Cd battery pack, install the pack and attach the wire connector plug from the vehicle to the bat-
tery back). Rotate the locking tab counterclockwise until it locks in place. If the battery case is not seated
and locked properly, the case could become loose which will result in power loss. Replace the battery
compartment cover and tighten the safety screw.
There could be several reasons for this. If your R/C RIDE won’t work, check the following:
1) Make sure the ON/OFF switches on both the vehicle and the transmitter is set to the ON position. When
the transmitter is turned ON, a red light will glow in the center of the unit. When the R/C vehicle is turned
ON (switch is located on underside of vehicle) the lights and sound will operate when you press down on
the hood scoop.
2) It may be time to replace the batteries (see above for instructions). Replace all 4 batteries in the
vehicle (6 batteries for Monster chassis) and the transmitter with fresh alkaline batteries.
3) Make sure the batteries have been inserted following the polarity (+/-) indicated inside the
battery compartment.
