Safety instructions

Dear Customer, these safety instructions are not only for the protection of the product but also for your own safety and that of other
people. This is why you should read this section very carefully before using the product!
a)

General information

The operation and the handling of RC models must be learned!
If you have never steered such a model, start especially carefully
and get used to the reactions of the model to the remote control
commands first. Be patient!
● The product is not a toy and should be kept out of reach of
children under 14 years of age.
● Taking out a private liability insurance is recommended. If you
already have one, inform yourself whether the operation of an
RC model is covered by your insurance.
● Each time before you use the model, please check the func-
tional safety of your model and of the remote control system.
Pay attention to visible damages such as broken plug-in con-
nections or damaged cables. All movable parts on the model
have to be smooth-running, but there must be no tolerance
in the bearing.
● Do not connect the drive motor to electric models before the
receiver system has been completely installed to avoid the
drive motor starting before you are ready.
● The unauthorized conversion and/or modification of the pro-
duct is inadmissible because of safety and approval reasons
(CE).
● The product must not get damp or wet.
● Do not leave packaging material unattended. It may become
dangerous playing material for children!
● Should technical questions arise that are not answered with
the help of these operating instructions, please contact us
(for contact information, see Section 1) or ask an expert.

b) Operation
● If you do not yet have sufficient knowledge on how to deal
with remote-controlled models, please contact an expe-
rienced model sportsman or a model construction club.
● Each time before you use the product, make sure that there
are no other models operated within the same range of fre-
quency or channel as your own remote control. You might
lose the control over RC vehicles! Always use different fre-
quencies/channels.
● When putting the device into operation always turn on the
transmitter first. Do not switch on the receiver in the model
before. Otherwise, the model car can show unpredictable re-
actions. Always pull out the telescopic antenna of the trans-
mitter entirely.
● Before operating the model, check whether the stationary
model reacts as expected to the commands of the remote
control.
● When you operate the model, always make sure that no parts
of your body, nor other people or objects come within the
dangerous range of the motors or any other rotating drive
parts.
● Improper operation can cause serious damage to people
and property! Always make sure that you have a direct eye
contact with the model and never operate it at night.
● Do not operate your model if your ability to respond is re-
stricted. The influence of tiredness, alcohol or medicine can
cause incorrect responses.
● Operate your model in an area where you do not endanger
other people, animals or objects. Only operate it on private
premises or places which are specifically designated for this
purpose.
● In case of a fault, stop operating your model straight away
and remove the cause of malfunction before you continue to
use the model.
● Do not operate your RC system during thunderstorms, under
high-voltage power lines or in the proximity of radio masts.
● Always leave the remote control (transmitter) turned on, as
long as the model is in operation. For turning the model off,
always switch off the motor first, and then switch off the re-
ceiver system. Only then can the remote control transmitter
be turned off.
● Protect your model and the remote control from dampness
and bad mudding.
● Do not expose your model and the remote control to direct
sunlight or excessive heat for a longer period of time.
● In the case of low batteries (or rechargeable batteries) in the
remote control, the range decreases. If the battery in the re-
ceiver is low, the model does not react correctly to the com-
mands of the remote control any more.
● If this is the case, stop the operation immediately. You should
then replace the batteries by new ones or recharge the (re-
chargeable) batteries.
● Do not take any risks when operating the product! Your own
safety and that of your environment is solely down to you
being responsible when dealing with the model.
