Safety instructions
A Carrera RC vehicle is a remote-controlled model car that uses special rechargeable batteries for this purpose. Only original Carrera RC Li-Ion rechargeable batteries may be used.
The Carrera RC vehicle is designed for hobby use only and may only be operated on tracks and in spaces especially intended for this purpose. CAUTION! Do not use the Carrera RC vehicle in road traffic.
Do not operate the car beneath overhead high-voltage cables or broadcasting masts or during a storm! Atmospheric disturbances can affect the operation of the vehicle. When there a large temperature differences between your car's garage and the running track, please wait until the vehicle has had time to acclimatise. This will help prevent condensation forming and the possibility of malfunctions resulting.
Never operate the product on grass surfaces. There is the risk of grass hindering the movement of the axles, which can lead to the motor overheating. Do not use the Carrera RC vehicle for transporting goods, persons or animals.
Never use the Carrera RC vehicle outdoors during rain or snowfall. The car must not be run through water, puddles and snow, and must always be kept stored in a dry place.
Never operate the vehicle near rivers, ponds or lakes, to avoid the risk of the Carrera RC car falling into the water. Avoid running on courses which are laid exclusively with sand.
Do not expose the Carrera RC vehicle to direct sunlight. To avoid the electronics in the car over heating, when temperatures are above 35^ , regular short pauses in operation are essential.
Always place the car on the floor by hand. Never throw the car on the floor from a standing position.
Avoid jumping from jumps or ramps higher than 15 cm (0.49 ft).
Handle the tip of the antenna with care. Danger of injury!
Never use strong solvents for cleaning the car.
To avoid malfunctions to the control system resulting in uncontrolled operation of the Carrera RC vehicle, check that the controller batteries and the rechargeable batteries in the vehicle have sufficient charge.
The Carrera RC vehicle must be inspected before and after operation, each time it is used, to ensure that it has not become disassembled. Any screws or nuts that may have become loosened during operation must be tightened.
Mounting the antenna
Push the antenna cable through the antenna tube and then mount this to the Carrera RC vehicle. Secure the end of the antenna cable with a Carrera RC sticker from the logo sheet.
Chélagiengdes Akkharangeable battery
First connect the Carrera RC rechargeable battery to the battery charger supplied. The connection terminals between the battery and the charger are designed to prevent connection with the wrong polarity. Connect the charger to a power source.
When the battery is properly connected and charging normally, the red LED is constantly lit. Once the battery is fully charged, the red LED switches to green.
The battery can now be disconnected and installed in the Carrera RC car.
The car is now ready for use.
After use, the battery must be allowed to cool down for at least 20 minutes before it can be fully recharged. Failure to observe this pause may damage the battery.

an drive the car
Make sure that nobody in your vicinity is using the same frequency.
To avoid this and to ensure that your vehicle will receive the signal from your controller, make sure that both your car and the controller are set to the same frequency (A/B/C).
The use of different channels allows three vehicles to be operated at the same time.
Pull out the antenna of the controller to its full extent.
Switch on the Carrera RC car using the ON/OFF switch. Your Carrera RC car has two speeds.
The ON/OFF switch is also used to select the training or indoor mode.
Adjusting the steering
If the Carrera RC vehicle is found to pull towards the left or right while moving, use the adjuster control shown in the illustration to adjust the car's track precision.
Let's practise!
CAUTION! This vehicle reaches speeds up to 20km / h (13 mph). Practice on an empty surface at least 2.5 metres (8.2") square. When first starting, be very careful when operating the gas pedal. When having your first practice drives, it is essential to use the training mode (slow).
Now it's time to practise! Set up a Carrera RC vehicle racing track in a large empty area, using cornerposts, empty cans, or similar objects. The basic technique to adopt when operating a Carrera RC is to drive fast on the straight sections and to slow down in the curves.
- Never run more than 2 batteries down one after the other. After running down two fully-charged batteries, a pause in running for at least 20 minutes is essential.
- Avoid constant motor operation.
- If the car switches itself off several times one after another, the battery is dead. Please recharge the battery.
- After 30 minutes inactivity, the controller and vehicle switch off automatically. To restart, switch the ON/OFF switch on the controller & the car to OFF and then back to ON.
To switch off after use, follow the steps in the reverse order. - After use, remove or disconnect the battery.
- Clean the Carrera RC car after use.
