b) Operation
• If you do not have sufficient knowledge of how to operate remote-controlled models, contact an
experienced model user or a model club.
•
Before connecting a rechargeable battery to a model, place the model on a suitable surface. Do not
touch rotating parts of the model while connecting the rechargeable battery. There is a risk of injury!
For a car model, the surface should be selected so that the wheels can rotate freely. Do not hold the car
model by the wheels.
For a ship model, make sure that the ship’s propeller can rotate freely. Always keep clear of the rotating
area of the ship’s propeller. There is a risk of injury!
• When putting the device into operation always turn on the transmitter first. Only then you can turn on
the voltage/power supply for the receiver in the model. Otherwise, the model car can have unpredictable
reactions.
•
Before using the model, check whether it responds properly to the remote control commands.
•
When operating a model, always make sure that body parts or objects are kept clear of the danger area
of motors or other rotating driving parts.
•
Improper use can cause serious injury and damage to property! Always keep the model in your line of
sight and never operate it at night.
•
Do not use the model if your responsivenessis impaired. Fatigue, alcohol and certain medications can
affect your responsiveness.
•
Never use the model in an area that may endanger other people, animals or objects. Only operate it on
private sites or places which are specifically designated for remote-controlled models.
•
In the event of a malfunction, discontinue use immediately and establish the cause of the problem before
using the model again.
•
Do not use the remote control during thunderstorms, under high-voltage power lines or in the proximity
of radio masts.
•
Always leave the remote control turned on when the model is in use. To turn off the model, always switch
off the motor first, and then switch off the receiver system. Only then can the remote control transmitter
be turned off.
•
Protect your model and the remote control system from dampness and dirt.
•
Do not expose the remote control to direct sunlight or excessive heat for prolonged periods.
•
The weaker the batteries, the lower the range of the remote control. If the receiver batteries or the
receiver rechargeable battery (or the drive rechargeable battery that supplies the receiver of a speed
controller equipped with BEC) become weak, the model will no longer respond correctly to the remote
control.
If this is the case, stop operation immediately. Then replace the batteries with new ones or recharge the
receiver rechargeable battery.
•
Do not take any risks when using the product! Always use the model responsibly, otherwise you may
endanger yourself and your surroundings.
