Preparation of start
Before first being used, the W speed controllers should
be fully charged. Place the speed controllers in the charging station
and switch on the control unit. While the unit is charging, the LEDs
1
on the speed controllers will flash. When charging is completed,
the LEDs
1
will light up continuously.
When using a lithium polymer rechargeable battery, it is possible to
top up the speed controller at any time.

Before the speed controller can be used to control the cars, it must
be “bound” to the receiver.
To do this, switch on the control unit.
1
The receiver indicates it is ready for operation by a revolving light
signal in the segment display
1
.
2
Push the “SET” button
2
once until the figure 1 appears in the seg-
ment display
1
. The number shown is then the address of the car.
Switch to the next address by further pressing the button.
Now press the binding button
3
on the top of the speed controller.
The speed controller signals a successful binding process with
flashing of the LED, while the receiver indicates it by revolving lights
in the segments. The binding process is now complete and the
speed controller is ready for use.
3
To bind the second speed controller, follow the same procedure.
Press the “SET” button
2
on the receiver twice, until the figure
2 appears
1
. Then press the binding button
3
on the second
speed controller.
When the binding process has been successfully carried out, the
cars can be coded to the corresponding speed controller. For coding
the cars, setting the speed, braking behaviour and tank capacity also
see the owner’s instructions for the Black Box, Control Unit or car.
4
To display the address set for the speed controller, press once on
the binding button
2
on the top of the speed controller.
The LED
1
will then flash, according to the address set.
If the speed controller is not actuated, it switches automatically after
about 20 seconds into energy-saving mode. The speed controller
can be reactivated by pressing the tappet or the lane-change button.
Troubleshooting
In case of any malfunctions, please check the following:
• Is the adapter unit correctly installed facing the direction of travel?
• Is the speed controller battery properly connected?
• Is the battery fully charged?
• Does the LED on the controller flash while charging?
• Is the speed controller bound to the receiver?
• Has the speed controller got a duplicate address assignment?
Note:
During operation small car parts as spoilers or mirrors may get off or
brake due to being original detailed parts of the car model. To avoid
this it is possible to remove them before operation.

Maintenance and care
1
To ensure a proper operation of the motor-racing circuit, all race-
track components should be regularly cleaned. Pull the plug prior
to cleaning.
1
Racetrack:
Keep the track surface and track slots clean with a
dry cloth. Do not use any solvents or chemicals for cleaning. When
it is not in use, store the racetrack in a clean and dust-protected
location, preferably in the original cardboard box.

Electricity modes:
1.) Operating mode = cars are operated via speed controllers
2.) Idle mode = speed controllers not activated, no game
3.) Stand-by mode = after approx. 20 minutes idle mode the
connecting section switches to stand-by mode. LED flashes at
long intervals.
CuRRENT CONsuMPTION < 1 watt / 1w
By operating the speed controller the stand-by mode is finished,
the racetrack returns to idle-mode again.
4.) Off-state = power supply unit disconnected from mains supply

Requirement for FCC Part 15
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc-
tions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or televi-
sion reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver,
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/Tv technician for
help.
Warnings
Guidelines and warnings about using the LiPo battery/
batteries:
LiPo rechargeable batteries are much more sensitive than the
traditional alkaline or NiMh rechargeables. For this reason all in-
structions and warnings must be scrupulously observed. Incorrect
treatment of LiPo rechargeable batteries may cause a fire. In han-
dling, charging and using the LiPo battery/batteries supplied, you
take over all responsibility for the risks attached to lithium batteries.
• Non-rechargeable batteries must not be recharged!
For recharging batteries, only the charging cradle supplied may be
used. If this instruction is disregarded, there is a risk of fire which
may endanger your health and/or cause damage to property.
NEVER use any other charging unit!
• Rechargeable batteries may only be recharged under adult super-
vision. When charging, never leave the battery unattended.
When you recharge the battery, you should always be in the vicinity
to keep watch on the process so that you can react to any possible
problem.
• If the battery swells or deforms during either discharge or charging
process, stop the process immediately. Remove the battery as fast
and as carefully as possible and place it on a safe and open area
away from any flammable materials, and keep it under observation
for at least 15 minutes. If you continue to charge or discharge a bat-
tery which has already started to swell or deform, there is danger of
fire! Even at the slightest sign of swelling or deforming, the battery
must be taken out of service.
• The battery supplied must be charged in a safe place away from
flammable materials.
• Store the battery at room temperature (16 - 18 °C) in a dry place.
Do not expose the battery to direct sunlight or any other sources of
heat. Temperatures over 50 °C are generally to be avoided.
• Always recharge the battery after use to avoid the possibility of its
becoming deep discharged. When it is not in use, recharge the bat-
tery from time to time, say every 2-3 months. Failure to observe the
methods of handling described above may lead to defects.
• When changing batteries do not use any sharp or pointed objects
or tools. Avoid damaging the protective foil around the battery at
all costs.
• When replacing defective batteries, only the recommended battery
types may be used. Damaged or unusable batteries are hazardous
waste, and must be disposed of accordingly.
• Never throw batteries, rechargeable or otherwise, on the fire or
expose them to high temperatures. This may cause a fire or an
explosion.
• The electrolyte and electrolyte vapour in the LiPo batteries are
hazardous to health. Always avoid direct contact with electrolyte.
If electrolyte makes contact with skin, eyes or other parts of the
body, it must immediately be washed out or off with plenty of fresh
water and a doctor must be consulted.
• Rechargeable batteries are not toys and must not fall into the
hands of children. Keep batteries inaccessible to children.
• The connector clips / battery connections must never be short-
circuited!
• The toy is only to be operated with a transformer or power pack
designed for use with toys!
• The transformer / the power pack is not a toy!
