Baby Mantis
60-2800
Thank you for purchasing the RadioShack RC Mantis.
Drive your mantis forward and backward - you’ll see
its tentacles light, its eyes move, its head turn side to
side, and all six legs hit the ground running! Your man-
tis comes in two frequencies, 27 MHz and 49 MHz, so
you can play with your friends. Check your box to see
what frequency you have.
Your mantis requires one 9-volt battery to power the
transmitter, and four AA batteries to power the
receiver. Turn off the receiver before installing or
replacing batteries.

Introduction
Installing Batteries
• Using your mantis for long periods of time can
generate high heat levels, resulting in motor
wear and tear. Let the mantis cool for about 10
minutes.
• If the mantis does not respond to the
transmitter (and fresh batteries are installed),
move the transmitter closer to the mantis and
try again.
• If someone is using a CB nearby, it may cause
interference. Try using your mantis in a
different location outside the area of
interference.
• Your mantis will not operate properly near
devices with transmitters that use the same
frequency (27/49 MHz).

The FCC Wants You to Know
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interfer-
ence to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to cor-
rect the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
• If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your mantis.
• Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RadioShack may cause interference and void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
