Radio-Controlled Clownie

Your Radio Shack Radio-Controlled Clownie is your own personal explorer.
Under your control, the Clownie can walk around the hallways in your home
or the sidewalks outside.

You need two AA batteries (not supplied) to power your Clownie, and one
9-volt battery (not supplied) for the transmitter.

Installing Batteries

CAUTIONS:

   Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

   Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
   (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of
   different capacities.

   Never leave dead or weak batteries in the Clownie or the transmitter.

   If you do not plan to use the Clownie for several days, remove the
   batteries.  Batteries can leak chemical that can damage electronic
   parts.

   Dispose of batteries promptly and properly; do not bury or burn them.
