Mounting the antenna The Carrera RC vehicle is designed for hobby use only and may only be oper- ated on tracks and in spaces especially intended for this purpose. CAUTION! Do not use the Carrera RC vehicle in road trac. 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. 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. Always place the car on the oor by hand. Never throw the car on the oor from a standing position. Avoid jumping from jumps or ramps higher than 15 cm (0.49 ft.). Do not operate the car beneath overhead high-voltage cables or broadcasting masts or during a storm! Atmospheric distur- bances can aect the operation of the vehi- cle. When there a large temperature dier- ences 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 pos- sibility of malfunctions resulting. Handle the tip of the antenna with care. Danger of injury! Never operate the product on grass surfaces. There is the risk of grass hin- dering the movement of the axles, which can lead to the motor overheat- ing. Do not use the Carrera RC vehicle for transporting goods, persons or ani- mals. Never use strong solvents for cleaning the car. To avoid malfunctions to the control system resulting in uncontrolled opera- tion of the Carrera RC vehicle, check that the controller batteries and the rechargeable batteries in the vehicle have sucient 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. Never use the Carrera RC vehicle out- doors 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 °C, regular short pauses in operation are essential.

Auaden des Akkus Einsetzen des Akkus Einsetzen des 9 V-Blocks CAUTION! This vehicle reaches speeds up to 20 km/h (13 mph). Prac- tice on an empty surface at least 2.5 metres (8.2’) square. When rst start ing, be very careful when operating the gas pedal. When having your rst practice drives, it is essential to use the training mode (slow). GREEN = ReadyRED = Charging Charging the rechargeable battery Now you can drive the car Installing the rechargeable battery Inserting the 9 V block battery Let’s practise! 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 pre- cision. Using a screwdriver, remove the cover of the battery compartment in the Carrera RC car. Connect the end of the cable from the Car- rera RC vehicle with the charged battery. Put the battery in place. Replace the compartment cover using a screwdriver. Unscrew the cover of the battery compart- ment in the controller and insert the 9 V block battery. When inserting the 9 V block battery, ensure that the polarity is correct. Replace the cover using a screwdriver. 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. 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 dierent 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.2

Now it’s time to practise! Set up a Car- rera RC vehicle racing track in a large empty area, using cornerposts, empty cans, or similar objects. The basic tech- nique to adopt when operating a Car- rera 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 fullycharged batteries, a pause in running for at least 20 minutes is essential.

Avoid constant motor operation.

If the car switches itself o several times one after another, the battery is dead. Please recharge the battery.

After 30 minutes inactivity, the controller and vehicle switch o automatically. To restart, switch the ON/OFF switch on the controller & the car to OFF and then back to ON.

To switch o after use, follow the steps in the reverse order.

After use, remove or disconnect the battery.
