There are 120 vehicles to collect. They will be cate- gorized by the status level and vehicle attributes. Vehicles can be raced on any of the three courses

PRACTICE Drive your vehicles on all three cours- es (STREET, OFF-ROAD and DRAG STRIP). LINK Link your unit with a friend to either RACE head-to-head or to TRADE vehicles and parts. SOUND Selecting this menu feature will allow you to turn the sound ON and OFF. SCANNING: Pick up any household product that has a printed bar- code. From the MAIN MENU, scroll and highlight the SCAN option and press the SELECT BUTTON. SCAN mode will begin and last for 10 seconds. Once activated, you will see a red light shinning out from the SCANNING PORT. Place the SCANNING PORT directly onto the surface of the product. As straight as possible, slide the unit over the barcode from left to right or right to left. When the barcode is read, the controller will indicate a SUCCESSFUL scan by displaying an image of a traffic light with the bottom light or circle flashing which represents a GREEN LIGHT. If the scan is a PARTIAL SCAN, the center circle on the traffic light image will flash rep- resenting a YELLOW LIGHT telling you to try again. An UNSUCCESSFUL SCAN will be shown by having the top circle of the traffic light flash representing a RED LIGHT. NOTE: Always try to re-scan a barcode if you get a PARTIAL or UNSUCCESSFUL SCAN. You will have three chances. NOTE: If no scanning activity is recorded, for 10 seconds, the screen will return to the MAIN MENU. HINT: Flat surfaces are the easiest to scan. It takes more practice and skill to scan round or odd-shaped surfaces. Just remember to always keep the SCAN- NING PORT flat against the surface when scanning. Skannerz works best with full sized bar codes and you may have difficulty scanning smaller bar codes. See the UPC barcode example below. STATUS: As you scan, there are 3 status levels: ROOKIE, AMATEUR, and PRO. You will begin as a ROOKIE and advance your status to AMATEUR and then PRO. STATUS is achieved by the number of races you've won. As you scan, you may not be able to download all the items you scan. If your status (ROOKIE, AMA- TEUR, PRO) is less than the item you've scanned, a warning will flash on the screen. For example, if you're a ROOKIE and you've scanned an AMATEUR vehicle you will not be able to access that vehicle until you have personally reached that circuit level status. Vehicle Access Denied: Parts Access Denied: Tracks Access Denied: When scanning a barcode, you can download a DEALERSHIP (collect vehicles), GARAGE (collect parts), RACE or BAD NEWS. After scanning, a graphic will display the object or action you have downloaded. BECOME THE ULTIMATE RACE CHAMPION! You'll have to scan, collect, trade and customize your way to the top.
