SYNCING YOUR SAVAGE™

Your Savage™ features an automatic 2.4G channel selection system that allows up to 8 people to race side by side in the same wireless range.
For One Player:
1. Before starting, make sure that the power on both your remote control and truck is in the OFF position. Make sure that there are also no other 2.4G devices in the immediate area that are powered on.
2. First, turn on the truck and set it down on a flat surface. The headlights and taillights will be illuminated.
3. Second, turn on the remote control. When the remote control’s power indicator should begin flashing. If the indicator light is flashing this means you are ready to “pair”. Simply pull the throttle lever all the way down. You will hear an engine start-up sound and the indicator light on the controller should now be solid. This means you have successfully paired your vehicle with the controller and you are ready to play! Note: If the light does not go solid, this means you were unable to sync your vehicle and you will have to start  steps 1-3 ever again

How to Sync with multiple Players in the same vicinity:
1. Before starting, make sure that the power on all vehicles and controllers is in the OFF position. Also make sure that there are no other 2.4G wireless devices in the vicinity.
2. Each player will have to sync their vehicle one at a time to avoid cross- interference, individually at a different time to avoid interference. (follow syncing steps 1-3 above) Important: after successfully syncing a vehicle you must leave it ON until all players have successfully completed syncing their vehicles.
3. If there is interference, all players must turn off their controllers and trucks and restart the syncing process.
