BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING

Only to be performed by an adult.

Problem: Snake is not working

• Check that the batteries are installed correctly. The “+” and “- ”are in their corresponding position.
• Check the condition of the batteries. Both Controller and Snake need full power or new batteries for best use.

• Check if there is any radio signal interference. May need to play in another location.
• The controller may be out of range and needs to be closer to Snake.
• Remove batteries and check if there is any debris in the wheel or propeller area. Debris will cause Snake to not fully function.
