loss of control over the model. The
ElMod Fusion Puma
is equipped with fail-safe mechanisms that help to detect radio
signal failure. Depending on the manufacturer and settings, receivers can react unpredictably to an interruption of the
radio link and, for example, continue to output the last correctly received signal.
First start up
•
Make sure that all cables have been laid correctly.
•
Switch on the radio transmitter.
•
Insert a fully charged battery and switch the vehicle on.
•
The blue status LED lights up shortly after switching on and goes out again.
•
After 2-3 seconds it starts flashing regularly (search for receiver signal).
•
The blue LED stays on as soon as the receiver signal is identified and the number of active channels has been defined
or a command has been given via the vehicle control in the
ElMod App
.
•
Start the engine and drive off! Have fun with your model!
Battery protection
The
ElMod Fusion Puma
is equipped with a voltage monitor which protects the battery from deep discharge. The setting of
the battery type can be changed in the
ElMod App
. The standard setting is 6-cell NiMH battery. With this setting any other
battery type up to 10V can be used, but in this no protection is given.
In order for the battery protection to become active, the switch-off voltage must be undercut for at least one second. All
driving functions and sound are then immediately disabled. The red LED remains permanently on, the blue status LED is
off. Every five seconds the announcement "Low voltage" is played. To switch off the active battery protection again, the
battery has to be replaced or recharged and electronics must be switched off and on again.
