d) Attaching the telescopic aerial on the transmitter
Put the telescopic aerial into the designated hole in the transmitter from the top and screw it tight. Do not use any force
when screwing on the aerial and do not use any tools!
e) Inserting batteries/rechargeable batteries into the transmitter
Slide out the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the remote control and insert 8 rechargeable AA batteries or
8 standard AA batteries into the remote control. Observe the polarity (po and negative/-). Close the battery
compartment again.
f) Switching on the transmitter
Pull out the telescopic aerial of the transmitter completely if you have not already done so.
Switch on the transmitter before connecting the rechargeable battery pack to the speed controller. Put the on/off
switch on the remote control in the "I" (= On) position. The red "BATT" LED lights up.
If the LED flashes, the batteries or rechargeable batteries in the transmitter are weak and should be
exchanged with new ones.
g) Connecting the rechargeable battery pack
Before connecting the battery pack to the speed controller, activate the transmitter (see chapter 9. d, e, f).
To prevent a sudden movement of the wheels and consequently an uncontrolled movement of the model (e.g. if the
drive trim is wrongly adjusted), place the model vehicle on a suitable support so that the wheels can turn freely in case
of a fault.
Now connect the battery pack to the speed controller. Observe the polarity (red cable = po, black cable =
negative/-).
h) Switching on the speed controller
Let go of the throttle/brake lever on the transmitter and let it
move to neutral position. Turn the "TH.TRIM" control (see
figure 1, pos. 8) to centre position.
Place the vehicle on a suitable support as described in
chapter 9. g) so that the drive mechanism can turn freely
and the wheels do not touch the ground.
Do not touch the drive mechanism and do not block the
wheels!
Now switch on the speed controller (do not move the throttle/
brake lever on the transmitter yet!).
