•
When handling the charger or rechargeable batteries, never wear metal or conductive objects (e.g.
jewellery such as necklaces, bracelets or rings), as these may cause a short circuit and result in a fire
or explosion.
•
Never use the charger/power adapter immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into a
warm one. This may generate condensation, which can cause the product to malfunction or damage
the interior components.
Allow the power adapter/charger to reach room temperature before connecting it and putting it to use.
This may take several hours.
•
If you suspect that safe operation is no longer possible, discontinue use immediately and prevent un-
authorized use.
Fully disconnect the mains voltage for the mains socket to which the power adapter is connected (e.g.
turn off the corresponding circuit breaker or unscrew the fuse, and then turn off the residual current
circuit breaker). You can then unplug the power adapter from the mains socket. If a battery is connected,
disconnect it from the charger.
Discontinue use and take the charger/power adapter to a specialist repair centre, or dispose of it in an
environmentally-friendly manner.
•
Safe operation is no longer possible if the power adapter/charger is visibly damaged or stops working,
or if the power adapter/charger was stored in unfavourable conditions for an extended period or mishan-
dled during transport.
c) Setup/use
• If you do not have sufficient knowledge of how to operate remote-controlled models, contact an experi
-
enced model enthusiast or a model vehicle club.
•
Ensure that people and objects are kept at a safe distance from the engines and any other rotating parts.
•
Always power the vehicle using the battery provided (or an identical replacement battery). Never use a
power adapter to power the vehicle (including for test purposes).
•
This vehicle is exclusively designed for use with a 2-cell li-ion rechargeable battery (7.4 V rated voltage).
Using a battery with more cells may make the speed controller overheat and cause a fire. It may also
overload and damage the vehicle drive (e.g. differential), which will void the warranty/guarantee!
•
Always turn on the remote control before connecting the battery to the vehicle and turning the vehicle on,
otherwise the vehicle may react unexpectedly.
•
Proceed as follows:
- Before connecting the battery, place the vehicle on a suitable surface so that all wheels can move
freely.
- Switch the vehicle off.
-
Switch on the remote control. The LED on the remote control will start to flash. Move both control dials
to the central position.
- Connect a fully charged battery to the vehicle, ensuring that the polarity is correct (red cable = posi-
tive/+, black cable = negative/-).
