12 Getting started
12.1 Removing the body
Pull out four locking clips on the top of the vehicle and carefully lift off the body. In doing so, loosen the two plug con-
nections between the vehicle and the LEDs.
Assignment of the two LED cables on the vehicle:
Socket with black/red cable: Connection for white headlights
Socket with yellow/green cable: Connection for red tail lights
12.2 Inserting batteries/rechargeable batteries into the transmitter
Open the battery compartment on the underside of the transmitter and slide the battery compartment cover out
towards the rear.
Insert 4 AA/Mignon batteries. Ensure that the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity (observe the plus/+ and
minus/- markings on the battery compartment). Close the battery compartment again.
Using rechargeable batteries in the transmitter results in a shorter battery life due to the lower voltage
(nominal voltage: battery = 1.5 V, rechargeable battery = 1.2 V). If you still wish to use rechargeable batter-
ies, we recommend using NiMH rechargeable batteries with lower self-discharge.
For the sake of operational safety and service life, you should use batteries for the transmitter and not
rechargeable batteries.
12.3 Configuring the transmitter
Set the two rotary controls to the middle position and switch on the transmitter. The LED (see chapter 11, item 6) on
the transmitter flashes.
12.4 Inserting and connecting the drive battery
Remove the retaining bracket (1) from the battery holder
by pulling out the two clips (2).
Insert the drive battery into the battery holder so that the
drive battery connection cable points to the rear of the ve-
hicle as shown in the picture)
Then put the retaining bracket back on, securing it with the
clips removed at the beginning.
Finally, connect the drive battery to the vehicle. The plug
is protected from reverse polarity; do not use force when
connecting.
