• Theinstructionsfortheremotecontrolsystemandchargerareincludedseparately.Alwaysfollowall
the safety information as well as all other information! Numerous hazards are associated with improper
handling of the battery charger.
• Neverwindtheantennacable!Thissignicantlyreducesthetransmissionrange.Takecarenottodam-
age the antenna cable. Never cut the antenna cable!
• Only use suitable drive rechargeable batteries for the vehicle. Never power the speed controller with a
power adapter, even for test purposes.
• Thevehicleandspeedcontrolleraresuitablefor:
- 2-cell LiPo drive battery (rated voltage 7.4 V)
- 3-cell LiPo drive battery (rated voltage 11.1 V)
- 6-7 cell NiMH drive battery (rated voltage 7.2 V or 8.4 V)
Whenusingadriverechargeablebatterywithmorecells,thereisadangerofreresultingfromthe
speed controller overheating. In addition, the vehicle's drive will be overloaded and thus damaged (e.g.
differential).Thiswillvoidthewarranty!
Caution!
The LiPo battery charger should only be used to charge a LiPo vehicle battery. Attempting to
charge a NiMH drive rechargeable battery with the LiPo battery charger may cause a re or
explosion!
A LiPo drive rechargeable battery should only be charged with a suitable LiPo charger (and a NiMH
rechargeable battery with a NiMH charger only). So if you want to purchase a NiMH drive battery for the
vehicle, you will also need a suitable NiMH charger.
Always ensure that you use the correct type of battery charger.
• Whenputtingthedeviceintooperationalwaysturnontheremotecontrolrst.Onlythencanthedrive
battery of the vehicle be connected to the speed controller and the speed controller be switched on.
Otherwise, the vehicle might react unpredictably.
Proceed as follows:
- Before connecting the battery, place the vehicle on a suitable surface so that all wheels can move
freely.
- Switch off the speed controller.
- Switch on the remote control, if you have not already done so. Check that it functions correctly (e.g.
transmitter's operating display).
- On the remote control, set the trim for the throttle/brake function to the central position.
- Connect a fully-charged drive battery to the speed controller in the correct polarity.
- Turnonthespeedcontroller.Waitforafewsecondsuntilthespeedcontrollerhascompletedaself-
test.
- Check that the vehicle reacts to the remote control commands as expected (steering and throttle)
before removing it from the support and placing the wheels on the ground.
