We recommend using alkaline batteries with our products, as they are great for long-term use and help optimize performance. We don't recommend using Carbon-Zinc batteries. While Carbon-Zinc batteries may work well with low-power devices, they can drain after a short period of time and cause certain products to not function properly.

There are a few things you can try to make Cranky, your remote and/or Flynn start working together:
- Please make sure you have EIGHT fresh, alkaline batteries in the product.
- If one battery brand is not working for you, we suggest you try another as different brands have different connectivity points.
- We have found batteries that are rechargeable do not work as well with this product.
- Please make sure you have turned on BOTH switches. 1 switch is located on the remote and 1 is on the crane itself.

Because many consumers were opening the wrong compartment while attempting to change the batteries, all of the screws - except for the battery door screw - have been changed to tamper-proof screws with triangular heads. This makes replacing the couplers impossible. This change took effect March 15, 2010.

Some of the engines that house the batteries in the tender car will go in circles when not on the tracks. The product is performing as intended.
