Handling Mutator

Always pick up and hold your Mutator vehicle from the back

as shown, or from the front and back with both hands. Keep

hair, hands, fingers, face and loose clothing away from

wheels while the vehicle is switched on or while the

transmitter is operating. Never pick up by the wheels. (Fig. 1)

Battery Charging and Care (Battery Pack and

Charger included only with Mutator model no. 2351; not

included with model no. 2350. Retailer decides which version

to carry.) Vehicle will not run without a 9.6V rechargeable NiCd

or NiMH battery pack and matching charger, commonly

available for R/C vehicles at many toy and hobby dealers.

Always follow the instructions that came with your battery

pack and charger. Adult supervision of battery charging is

required.

Drain Down — Cool Down — Charge Up

1. For best performance, run battery pack ALL THE WAY

DOWN before recharging. Run until wheels slow to a stop.

2. Allow the battery pack to cool AT LEAST 20 MINUTES before recharging.

3. Charge fully according to the battery/charger manufacturer's instructions.

Charging times differ with different types, brands, models, ages and conditions

of battery packs and chargers. The first few charges of a new battery will provide shorter run times than later charges.

You may need to repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 six or seven times to break in battery.

Battery Heat

1. Battery gets hot after use! This is normal, but be careful. Wait until battery is cool (20 minutes or more if needed)

before charging. Charging batteries when they are hot will severely reduce the number of times they can be recharged.

2. After charging, battery pack will be warm. This is normal.

Running and Charging Times

1. NiCd and NiMH battery packs are not like

alkaline batteries. They lose all their power

suddenly, not gradually, and vehicle will stop

very soon after slowing down becomes

noticeable, with little warning. This is normal.

2. Typical running time will be between 9 to 15

minutes for a typical freshly charged NiCd

battery pack in good condition, depending on

how you operate your vehicle, but observe how

long your battery runs in your vehicle under the

conditions you operate in.

Running time may vary over life of battery, with

the first 6 charge cycles yielding significantly

shorter run times than later charges. "Cycle"

your battery (Drain Down/Cool Down/Charge

Up) at least 6 times before evaluating run time.

IMPORTANT: NEW RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

NEED SEVERAL CHARGE/DISCHARGE CYCLES

TO DELIVER MAXIMUM POWER AND LONGEST

RUNNING TIMES.

A FRESHLY CHARGED BATTERY (STILL WARM)

WILL DELIVER THE LONGEST RUNNING TIME.

Battery Installation

The bed lid of the vehicle removes to reveal the

battery compartment.

1. Push BATTERY LATCH on the back of the

vehicle downward to open and remove BATTERY

LID. (Fig. 2 & 3)

Mutation Operation

MUTATE BUTTON on back of transmitter controls MUTATE ACTION. Press to cycle through the 4 main MUTATE

POSITIONS and everything in between. Release button when desired position is reached. If you miss the exact position

you want, just press again until it comes around again. Start with the MAIN 4 MUTATE positions and invent your own

ENERGETICALLY ENGINEERED MUTATIONS! See next page for Stunt Guide.

Transmitter Operation

1. LEFT STICK controls POWER. Move stick up to go forward. Release to coast. Move down to brake or go in reverse.

"PULSE" THE STICK (rapid push up-release-push up-release) for slower speeds and better maneuverability.

2. RIGHT STICK is STEERING. Move stick to left to turn left, release to go straight, to right to go right.

Transmitter Battery Installation

1. Slide open BATTERY DOOR on back of TRANSMITTER. (Fig. 7)

2. Insert a fresh, new 9-VOLT ALKALINE BATTERY with the polarity (+/-) as shown on the bottom of battery

compartment. (Fig. 8)

3. Hold battery in place with thumb and replace BATTERY DOOR. (Fig. 9)

4. Check for transmitter operation by looking for the red "POWER ON" LIGHT on front to light when a JOYSTICK is

pushed. If LIGHT does not come on, check battery polarity. If LIGHT still does not light, install a brand-new battery.

2. Plug BATTERY PLUG into VEHICLE JACK as shown. (Fig. 4)

3. Place fully and freshly charged BATTERY PACK into BATTERY COMPARTMENT and place PLUG/JACK/WIRE as shown

so they're out of the way when you replace the LID. (Fig. 5)

4. Replace BATTERY LID and press into place until LATCH secures it in place. (Fig. 6)

TRIM CONTROL: If vehicle

steers to one side when you

release the right stick, move

TRIM CONTROL on bottom of

vehicle slightly in the opposite

direction to correct. (Fig. 10)

Test (with the vehicle driving

away from you) and readjust if

needed.
