Connect the two plugs

on the transformer with the connection
sockets
1
on the connector track,
taking care not to reverse the
polarity of the plugs and sockets!
Advice:
The toy must not be connected to extraneous electrical
equipment, plugs, cables or other objects: short-circuits and power
surges can thus be avoided. The Carrera Evolution racing track only
functions faultlessly with the original Carrera Evolution transformer.
In the event of a short-circuit or an overload, the connector
track switches off for about 5 seconds and both LEDs start to
flash.

Binding process

1
To permit the hand controllers to control the cars, they must once be
‘bonded’ to the connector track. To do this, switch on the racetrack.
Both control LEDs on the connector track now light continuously.
1
To bond the first controller, press
once
on the button “Lane choice”
1
. The left LED now lights continuously. Now press the “Bonding
button”
2
of the first hand controller. If bonding is successful, both
LEDs will then light continuously. The controller is now bonded to
the connector track and controls the car on the front lane.

To bond the second controller, press
twice
on the button “Lane
choice”

. The right LED now lights continuously. Now press the
“Bonding button”
2
of the second hand controller. If bonding is
successful, both LEDs will then light continuously. The controller
is now bonded to the connector track and controls the car on the
rear lane.
To display the address set for the speed controller, press once on
the binding button
1
on the top of the speed controller.
The LED

will then flash, according to the address set.

Preparation of start
Before using them for the first time, the 2.4 GHz W hand
controllers should be fully charged. To do this, put the controllers in
the charger and switch on the track. While charging is in progress,
the LED‘s
1
on the hand controllers will flash. When charging is
complete, the LEDs
1
light continuously. By employing a lithium-
polymer battery, the hand controllers can be topped up at any time.

If the speed controller is not actuated, it switches automatically after
about 30 seconds into energy-saving mode. The speed controller
can be reactivated by pressing the tappet or the lane-change button.

This Carrera Evolution vehicle ideally matches the Carrera track
system scale 1:24.

Make sure that the car’s guide keel is located inside the track
slot and that the double sliding contact is in contact with the current
carrying track. Place the cars onto the connecting track.

Optimally setting up the grinders:
To ensure proper and continuous driving, slightly fan out the ends
of the contact brushes
2
and bend them towards the track as per
fig.
3
. Only the end of the contact brush should have contact to the
track and may be cut off slightly in case of wear. Dust and abrasion
should be removed from track material and sliding contacts from
time to time.
During operation small car parts as spoilers or mirrors may get off or
brake due to being original detailed parts of the car model. To avoid
this it is possible to remove them before operation.
Change of running direction
This is necessary and/or possible in case the running direction shall
be changed. Therefore the reversing switch at the car’s bottom side
has to be positioned accordingly.
Maintenance and care
1
2
To ensure a proper operation of the motor-racing circuit, all race-
track components should be regularly cleaned. Pull the plug prior to
cleaning.
1
Racetrack:
Keep the track surface and track slots clean with a
dry cloth. Do not use any solvents or chemicals for cleaning. When
it is not in use, store the racetrack in a clean and dust-protected
location, preferably in the original cardboard box.
2
Car check:
Clean axle and wheel bearings, pinion gears, gear-
wheels and bearings and lubricate using a resin- and acid-free
grease. You can use a toothpick or similar as aid. Regularly check
the condition of sliding contacts and tyres.
