Never subject the Carrera car to repea- ted changes of load - that means conti- nuously reversing it. GREEN = ReadyRED = Charging 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. Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the toy before being charged. 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 traffic. Do not operate the car beneath overhead high-voltage cables or broadcasting masts or during a storm! Atmospheric distur- bances 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 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 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. Wet surfaces without puddles will not affect the car’s performance as the electronic equip- ment is protected against spray. 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. Safety instructions Avoid jumping from jumps or ramps higher than 15 cm (0.49 ft.). Always place the car on the floor by hand. Never throw the car on the floor from a standing position. 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 sufficient charge. Supply terminals are not to be short-cir- cuited. 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.10

Always recharge the battery immediately after use to prevent its becoming deep discharged. Recharge the battery occasionally (suggested every 2-3 months). Failure to treat the battery as described above can lead to its becoming defective

Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged by adults. 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. GREEN = ReadyRED = Charging Charging the rechargeable battery Now you can drive the car Installing the rechargeable battery Inserting the batteries 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. Open the battery compartment with a screwdriver and insert the batteries in the remote control. Please keep in mind the correct polarity. Different types of batte- ries or new and used batteries are not to be mixed. After having closed the compartment you can check all functions of the remote control with the help of the power-switch on the front. With the power-switch turned ON and proper functioning, the top center LED on the remote control will light up red. 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 operating the model for the first time, be care- ful with the accelerator, as the car reacts very sensitively. You should practice slow running for at least two or three full battery charges before going on to faster manoeuvres. Let’s practise! The Carrera RC car and the remote control are bound as a factory setting.

2. Switch on the controller. The LED on

top of the controller will flash rhythmi- cally. After a few seconds, the LEDs on the car and on the controller will light con- tinuously, meaning the bind has been made. 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.

1. Switch the car ON at the ON/OFF

switch. The LED on top of the car will flash rhythmically.11

Thanks to 2.4 GHz technology, up to 16 cars can be run together on one race-track. This is possible even without harmonising frequencies between the racing drivers.

Right joystick: steering right and left with variable lock for precise steering Controller functions SERVO TRONIC You can use the joysticks to carry out precise steering and driving manoeu- vres. Left joystick: forwards and backwards at different speeds Troubleshooting Errors and changes excepted Colours / final design – changes excepted Technical changes and design-related changes excepted Pictograms = symbolic photos Problem Cause Solution Car does not move Either the switch on the controller or the car is set to OFF. Switch on. There is no rechargeable battery in the car or the battery is too weak. Insert charged battery. The car has come to a stop at an obstacle. The voltage surge protector has switched the car off. Turn the ON/OFF switch on the car to OFF, then back to ON, and place the car on a clear surface. The battery or rechargeable battery in the transmitter or model is too weak. Insert new battery or recharged battery. The remote control is possibly not correctly frequency bound with the receiver on the model Carry out a frequency bind between the model and the remote control as described in “Now you can drive the car” The transmitter has switched itself off after 30 minutes. To restart, switch the ON/OFF switch on both controller & vehicle to OFF and then back to ON.. The vehicle is very warm. Switch both car and controller off and allow the car to cool down for about 30 minutes. The overheat protection has caused the car’s motor to cut out due to excess temperature. Switch off the receiver. Leave the RC car to cool down for approx. 30 minutes. Car cannot be controlled Vehicle starts moving unintentionally. First turn on the transmitter, only then the vehicle. 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 Carrera RC is to drive fast on the straight sec- tions and to slow down in the curves.

• When changing from the first battery to the second battery, you must stop run- ning for at least ten minutes. At the next change, a pause of at least 20 minutes is absolutely 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. Always recharge the battery immediately after use to prevent its becoming deep discharged.

• Always keep the rechargeable battery stored outside the vehicle.
