Getting Started
The Ruko 1601PRO is a high-performance remote-controlled car designed for users aged 14 and older. To begin, remove the car body by pulling out the body pins and unfastening the retaining clip to access the battery compartment. Carefully remove the battery for charging.

Charging and Installation
Connect the battery to the provided charging cable and a 5V/2A USB adapter. A flashing light indicates the battery is charging, while a solid light confirms it is fully charged, which takes approximately 2.5 hours. Once charged, connect the wire connector securely, place the battery back into the slot, and fasten it with the retaining clip. Ensure the interface orientation is correct before connecting the power wire.

Transmitter Setup
The transmitter requires 4 x 1.5V AA batteries (not included). Open the battery cover on the transmitter, insert the batteries according to the polarity markings, and close the cover securely.
Operation and Control
Choose an open, smooth area for operation. To start, power on the car by pressing and holding the power button for 3 seconds. Switch on the transmitter; a flashing light indicates auto-pairing, while a solid light confirms the connection is established. Use the throttle trigger to move forward or backward. Steering is controlled by turning the steering wheel on the transmitter. If the car does not drive straight, use the ST. TRIM knob to adjust the front wheels or the ESP knob to adjust the gyroscope sensitivity based on road conditions.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, refer to these common solutions:
- Car does not work: Check if the car or transmitter batteries are low or if there is debris in the wheels.
- Pairing issues: Restart both the car and the transmitter.
- Operation delay: Ensure the battery clip is properly fastened and avoid signal interference.
- Car does not drive straight: Adjust the ST. TRIM knob or the ESP knob for gyroscope settings.
- Slow speed: Adjust the steering range using the ST.D/R knob.
