How to Add Batteries to Air Hog Controllers

Air Hog RC vehicles are miniature aircraft suitable for indoor flight. Unlike most RC vehicles, you charge an Air Hog RC by plugging the vehicle directly into the radio controller. Because of this, you'll have to change the batteries in your Air Hog controller more often than with RC controllers whose power usage is constrained to sending operational radio signals to the vehicle only. With this need in mind, the makers of the controller placed the batteries into a quickly accessed battery compartment, making the changing process one that you can complete in a matter of minutes.

Things You'll Need

Phillips screwdriver

Instructions

- 1
  Place the controller face down on a flat surface.
- 2
  Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw holding the battery compartment door in place on the rear of the controller.
- 3
  Slide the battery compartment door toward the base of the controller and pull it away from the unit to access the battery compartment.
- 4
  Insert the batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure you align the batteries correctly with the "+" marks on the heads of the batteries pointing toward the "+" mark on the end of the battery slot of the compartment.
- 5
  Replace the battery compartment door onto the controller, securing it with the screw.
