Important safety and operating information for the RC system 

 

Always switch the transmitter on first; then switch on the receiver (model)! 

 

Always switch the receiver off first; then switch off the transmitter! 

 

Protect all equipment against dust, dirt, humidity, vibrations, and other foreign objects. Never expose the 
equipment to excessive heat or cold. 

 

Avoid impacts and pressure. Always check the equipment for damage to housings and cables. 

 

Never pull on cables to disconnect them. 

 

Avoid incorrect polarity and short-circuits of all kinds as well as excess voltage in the power supply. The 
devices are not protected against these hazards. 

 

Use only components specified and approved by GRAUPNER. 

 

GRAUPNER recommends using only dry cell batteries for the transmitter power supply. Use 
rechargeable batteries in this area at your own risk! 

 

Never use batteries with different energy states (meaning full in combination with empty batteries) or 
different types or manufacturers. 

 

Dry cell batteries for the power supply may never be recharged. Only rechargeable batteries can be re-
charged. 

 

The batteries must be adequately charged, and the range of the radio control system must have been 
checked.  In case of doubt and for the sake of safety, the transmitter and receiver batteries should be 
replaced if the state of the batteries is unknown. 

 

During operations, the transmitter aerial must be securely installed and completely extended. 

 

Run the receiver aerial only as designed for the model. It should be as far as possible away from power 
cables. 

 

If water has penetrated the RC components, lay them out to dry and send them to the appropriate 
GRAUPNER service unit to be checked (see list of responsible service centres at the end of the 
instructions).
