Operating the Vehicle:
The vehicle is a 4 x 4 model with Front 2 Wheels and the Rear 2 Wheels always in drive mode.
The center 2 wheels provide support to the vehicle in places where it has to climb over small
obstacles. These wheels are not powered.
The RF control provided has a line of sight control for upto 100 Mtrs but that reduces when the
vehicle is in the tunnel.
The cable provided with the vehicle for both power as well as rear camera video feed is extremely
strong and can be used to pull the vehicle back gently in case of system power malfunction and
vehicle needs to be retrieved.
First connect the lengthy power cable to the white battery box to the socket marked “LOAD” and
turn on the Switch .
Then turn ON the little RED switch on the vehicle. This provides stablized power to the camera.
Once the cameras boot up and the live video feeds are available on the phone and laptop, use
the remote control to drive the vehicle into the tunnel.
The Wheel on the remote control is for steering control.
Backward press of the remote trigger moves the vehicle forward and Forward push of the trigger
moves the vehicle backward.
Maneuver the vehicle very slowly into the tunnel and ensure that there is enough free cable. The
LED light on the rear camera will stay ON through out the operation . It will not startle the resident
of the tunnel as the light is backward facing.
During maneuvering , if the vehicle gets stuck, move the vehicle in the Reverse direction and
Forward direction to free it from the obstacle.
Care has been taken to insulate the parts from dusty conditions in the tunnel. After every operation, gently dust the vehicle before storing it. Ensure that the little RED switch on the vehicle is turned OFF before storing.
