INSTALLING THE TRANSMITTER BATTERIES
Your XT1 Transmitter uses eight AA batteries. The battery tray is located at the base of the transmitter.
1. Remove the battery cover (bottom of transmitter) and remove the battery tray.
2. Install eight (8) AA alkaline batteries into the battery holder. Pay close attention to the correct direction of the positive (+) and negative (-) ends of the
batteries as marked in the tray.
3. Reinstall the battery tray using the molded pegs in the bottom as a guide, then replace the battery cover.
4. Turn on the transmitter and check that the LED power indicator gives a solid red light.
PREPARING THE CAR
Decorating your M18
The M18 body was hand-painted with premium-quality, high-gloss paint and several
stickers were applied to the body.
If you want to use the included rear wing, you must trim it fi rst. Make two holes in the
rear of the body as indicated. Attach the rear wing to the body using the included
screws and plastic nuts.
If the power indicator does not light up, the transmitter batteries may be weak, discharged, or possibly installed incorrectly. Check the battery positions fi rst,
then replace any weak batteries with new or freshly-charged batteries as required.
The power indicator light does not indicate the charge level of the main battery pack in the car.
Use only fresh alkaline or rechargeable batteries, all of the same brand. Make sure that rechargeable batteries are fully charged according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. If you use rechargeable batteries in your transmitter, be aware that when they begin to lose their charge, they lose power much
more quickly than regular alkaline batteries.

CAUTION !
Stop running your M18 at the fi rst sign of weak batteries to avoid
losing control.
TIP: Transmitter Battery Holder
Make sure that the contacts in the battery holder stay clean by using a
pencil eraser to gently remove any corrosion or dirt that may accumulate on
them. It is recommended to do this each time you install fresh cells into your
transmitter.
When the transmitter will not be used for any short or long period of time, always remove the batteries. If the batteries are loaded incorrectly, the transmitter
may be damaged.
