Safety instructions

A Carrera RC vehicle is a remote-controlled model car that uses special rechargeable batteries for this
A
purpose. Only original Carrera RC LiFePO
ies are to be removed from the toy before being charged.
The Carrera RC vehicle is designed for hobby use only and may only be operated on tracks and in
B
spaces especially intended for this purpose. WARNING! Do not use the Carrera RC vehicle in road traffic.
Do not operate the car beneath overhead high-voltage cables or broadcasting masts or during a storm!
C
Atmospheric disturbances can affect the operation of the vehicle. When there a large temperature
differences between your car's garage and the running track, please wait until the vehicle has had time
to acclimatise. This will help prevent conden sation forming and the possibility of malfunctions resulting.
Never operate the product on grass surfaces. There is the risk of grass hindering the movement of the
D
axles, which can lead to the motor overheating. Do not use the Carrera RC vehicle for transporting
goods, persons or animals.
Never use the Carrera RC vehicle outdoors during rain or snowfall. The car must not be run through
E
water, puddles and snow, and must always be kept stored in a dry place. Wet surfaces without puddles
will not affect the car's performance as the electronic equipment is protected against spray.
Never operate the vehicle near rivers, ponds or lakes, to avoid the risk of the Carrera RC car falling into
F
the water. Avoid running on courses which are laid exclusively with sand.
Do not expose the Carrera RC vehicle to direct sunlight. To avoid the electronics in the car overheating,
G
when temperatures are above 35 ° C, regular short pauses in operation are essential.
Never subject the Carrera car to repeated changes of load – that means continuously reversing it.
H
Always place the car on the floor by hand. Never throw the car on the floor from a standing position.
I
Avoid jumping from jumps or ramps higher than 5 cm (0.16 ft.).
K
Never use strong solvents for cleaning the car.
L
To avoid malfunctions to the control system resulting in uncontrolled operation of the Carrera RC vehicle,
M
check that the controller batteries and the rechargeable batteries in the vehicle have sufficient charge.
Supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
The Carrera RC vehicle must be inspected before and after operation, each time it is used, to ensure
N
that it has not become disassembled. Any screws or nuts that may have become loosened during
operation must be tightened.

also supplied. If you attempt to recharge the battery with any other LiFePO
of charger, this may result in serious damage. You can recharge the rechargeable battery with the respective USB
charger cable from a computer USB port (USB 3.0) or a USB power supply unit with at least 1A output voltage:
• Connect the USB charger cable with the USB port of a computer
lights green and indicates that the charger is correctly connected to the computer. When you connect an
empty rechargeable battery, the LED on the USB charger cable goes off and indicates that the battery is
being charged. The USB charger cable is so designed that reversed polarity is not possible.
• It lasts about 80 minutes to recharge a discharged (NOT a deep-discharged) battery. When the battery is
fully charged, the LED display on the USB charger cable lights green again
Always recharge the battery after use to prevent its becoming deep discharged. After use, the battery
must be allowed to cool down for at least 20 minutes before it can be fully recharged. Failure to ob-
serve thispause may damage the battery. Recharge the battery occasionally (suggested every 2–3
months). Failure to treat the battery as described above can lead to its becoming defective.
Installing the rechargeable battery
Using a screwdriver, remove the cover of the battery compartment in the Carrera RC car. Connect the
3
end of the cable from the Carrera RC vehicle with the charged battery. Put the battery in place. Replace
the compartment cover using a screwdriver.
Inserting the batteries
Open the battery compartment with a screwdriver and insert the batteries in the remote control. Please
4
keep in mind the correct polarity. Different types of batteries or new and used batteries are not to be
mixed. After having closed the compartment you can check all functions of the remote control with the help of
the power-switch on the front. With the power-switch turned ON and proper functioning, the top center LED
on the remote control will light up red.
Now you can drive the car

• Bond vehicle and controller as described in section
• Slide the ON/OFF switch fully to the right to the position "TRIM". Adjusting mode is active as soon as the
controller LED flashes.
• Straight running can be adjusted with the controller wheel by turning it to the right or left.
• Slide the ON/OFF switch back to the position "ON".
Let's practise!
Warning! This vehicle reaches speeds up to 18 - 20 km/h (11 - 13 mph). Practice on an empty surface
9
at least 4 x 5 metres (13.12' x 16.4'). When first starting, be very careful when operating the gas pedal.
Now it's time to practise! Set up a Carrera RC vehicle racing track in a large empty area, using corner-
10
posts, empty cans, or similar objects. The basic technique to adopt when operating a Carrera RC is to
drive fast on the straight sections and to slow down in the curves.
• When changing from the first battery to the second battery, you must stop running for at least ten
minutes. At the next change, a pause of at least 20 minutes is absolutely essential.
• Avoid constant motor operation.
• If the car switches itself off several times one after another, the battery is dead. Please recharge the battery.
• Within approx. 30 minutes of inactivity, the controller and vehicle switch off automatically. To re-
start, switch the ON/OFF switch on the controller & the car to OFF and then back to ON.
• To switch off after use, follow the steps in the reverse order.
• After use, remove or disconnect the battery. Always recharge the battery after use to prevent its
becoming deep discharged. After use, the battery must be allowed to cool down for at least 20
minutes before it can be fully recharged.
• Always keep the rechargeable battery stored outside the vehicle.
• Clean the Carrera RC car after use.
