the direction, the motorbike takes. This exercise is very important because it allows children to extend their field
of vision and develop their eye-hand co-ordination skills.
By the age of three, a child learns to associate the direction selected by using the remote control unit with the
effect produced (corresponding to the motorbike's movement). In the beginning, children learn to control the
motorbike until it meets an obstacle. At a later stage, they learn to co-ordinate precisely the correct use of the
remote control unit to achieve the desired direction.
The functioning of this toy requires the use of public frequencies (as indicated by regulations in force). For this
reason, the motorbike may pick up signals from similar remote controls being operated nearby. In such an event,
the motorbike may perform different manoeuvres from those set up on the remote control unit.
HOW TO USE THE TOY
After fitting the batteries,
1) First, switch on the motorbike, by positioning the ON/OFF switch (diagram A-1) located at the rear of the bike,
to the I position, and then the remote control unit, by positioning the switch (diagram B-3) to I (ON).
2) Activate the motorbike by pressing the buttons on the remote control unit. The remote control unit has four
buttons, which correspond to the following directions: forward left (diagram B-5), forward right (diagram B-6),
forward straight (diagram B-7), reverse straight (diagram B-8).
3) After use, both the vehicle and the remote control unit should be switched off, by positioning the motorbike's
switch (diagram A-1) and the remote control's unit switch (Diagram B-3) to 0 (OFF).
