b) Operation
• If you do not yet have sufficient knowledge on how to deal with remote-controlled models, please contact an
experienced model sportsman or a model construction club.
• Before you can turn on the transmitter you need to screw on the antenna provided onto the transmitter's antenna
connection. However, do not use any force when screwing it on.
Never operate the transmitter without the antenna. This will not only result in a low range, but the transmitter can
also be damaged.
Never operate the transmitter with an antenna other than that supplied.
• When putting the device into operation always turn on the transmitter first. Only then can the receiver in the model be
turned on (turn on the receiver or the drive control unit power supply). Otherwise, the model car can have unpredictable
reactions.
Place the vehicle on an appropriate surface/stand before you switch it on, so that the wheels can turn freely.
• Before operating the model, check whether the stationary model reacts as expected to the commands of the remote
control.
• When you operate the model, always make sure that no parts of your body, nor other people or objects come within
the dangerous range of the motors or any other rotating drive parts. Never reach into the drive.
• Improper operation can cause serious damage to people and property! Always make sure that you have a direct eye
contact with the model and never operate it at night.
• Do not operate your model if your ability to respond is unrestricted. The influence of tiredness, alcohol or medicine
can cause incorrect responses.
• Operate your model in an area where you don’t endanger other people, animals or objects. Only operate it on
private sites or places which are specifically designated for this purpose.
• In case of a fault stop operating your model straight away and remove the cause of malfunction before you continue
to use the model.
• Do not operate your RC system during thunderstorms, under high-voltage power lines or in the proximity of radio
masts.
• Always leave the remote control (transmitter) turned on, as long as the model is in operation. To turn off the model,
always switch off the motor first, and then switch off the receiver system. Only then can the remote control transmitter
be turned off.
• Protect your model and the remote control system from dampness and bad mudding.
• Do not expose your model and the remote control to direct sunlight or excessive heat for a longer period of time.
• In the case of weak batteries (or rechargeable batteries) in the remote control, the range decreases. If the rechargeable
battery of the receiver is low, the model does not react correctly to the commands of the remote control.
If this is the case, stop the drive operation immediately. Afterwards, you should replace the batteries with new ones
or recharge the rechargeable batteries.
• Do not take any risks when operating the product! Your own safety and that of your environment is solely down to
you being responsible when dealing with the model.
