LeapFrog Nitro 4-Tec 3.3TM all-wheel-drive 4809 - Manual (Page 11)

Installing Transmitter Batteries
Your TQ transmitter uses 8 AA batteries. The battery compartment is
located in the base of the transmitter.
1. Remove the battery compartment door by pressing the tab and
lifting the door up.
2. Install the batteries in the correct orientation as indicated in the
battery compartment.
3. Reinstall the battery door and snap it closed.
4. Turn on the transmitter and check the power indicator for a
solid red light.
If the power indicator light flashes, then the transmitter batteries are
weak, discharged or possibly installed incorrectly. Replace with new or
freshly charged batteries. The power indicator light does not indicate
the charge level of the RX Power Pack installed in the model.

Use the Right Batteries
Your transmitter uses AA
batteries. Use new alkaline
batteries, or rechargeable
batteries such as NiCad or
NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride)
batteries in your
transmitter. Make sure
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: Discontinue
running your Nitro 4-Tec at
the first sign of weak
batteries (flashing red light)
to avoid losing control.
If the power indicator
doesn’t light red, check the
polarity of the batteries.
Check rechargeable
batteries for a full charge.
