R/C Safety Precautions
For safe and reliable performance of your R/C model, please
carefully read and follow these guidelines:
1. Radio control models are not toys. They are capable of
inflicting serious injury to people and property. Use cau-
tion at all times when operating your model.
2. You are responsible for the safe operation of your R/C
model. You must properly install, test and operate your
model with a clear sense of that responsibility. Do not
take risks that might endanger yourself or others.
3. Running an R/C car in the streets is very dangerous to
both drivers and models. Avoid running your model in
areas occupied by full size automobiles. To locate areas
where you can safely operate your model, you should
contact your local hobby shop for R/C tracks or clubs in
your area.
4. When running an R/C boat, keep it away from any swim-
mers, full size boats, or wildlife. Also, watch carefully for
fishing lines that can entangle the propeller.
5. Before operating your model, make sure your frequency is
clear. If someone else is operating on the same frequency,
both models will go out of control, possibly causing dam-
age to the models as well as others.
6. If at any time while operating your R/C model you sense
abnormal model functioning, end your operation immedi-
ately. Do not operate your model again until you are cer-
tain the problem has been corrected.
CAUTION: Control of your model is impossible without suf-
ficient voltage for the transmitter and receiver. A weak trans-
mitter battery will decrease your range of operation and a
weak receiver battery will slow servo movement and
decrease your range of operation. Check your receiver pack
voltage often to avoid losing control of your model. When
using a model that operates both the electric motor and the
receiver from the same battery (Battery Eliminating Circuitry
or B.E.C.), you should discontinue use when the top speed
sharply decreases or you will quickly lose control of your
model.
Steering Tension
Adjustment
Steering tension is adjustable via the recessed screw located
beneath the steering wheel (see page 5 for exact location).
Turning the screw clockwise increases the steering tension.
Charging Jack
Located on the right-hand side of the transmitter is the
charging jack, which accepts only JR wall chargers. Please
do not attempt to use any other brand of wall charger as it
may be reverse polarity and can cause damage to your
system. Only use the JR wall charger when the XR-2 is
equipped with Ni-Cad batteries (not included, JRPB958).
