• Store the rechargeable battery at ambi-
ent temperature in a dry place.
• Always recharge the battery after
use to prevent its becoming deep
discharged. Please make sure to al-
low a pause of about 20 minutes be-
tween finishing the run and recharg-
ing the battery. Recharge the battery
occasionally (suggested every 2-3
months). Failure to treat the battery
as described above can lead to its be-
coming defective.
• When transporting or temporarily storing
the rechargeable battery the tempera-
ture should be between 5-50°C. If possi-
ble, do not store the battery or the model
in a car and do not expose it to direct
sunlight. In case the battery is broiled it
can be damaged or catch fire.
Safety instructions
A
The Carrera RC vehicle is designed
for hobby use only and may only be
operated on tracks and in spaces espe-
cially intended for this purpose.
WARNING! Do not use the Carrera RC
vehicle in road traffic.
B
Do not operate the car beneath over-
head high-voltage cables or broad-
casting masts or during a storm! Atmos-
pheric 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.
C
Never operate the product on grass
surfaces. There is the risk of grass
hindering the movement of the axles,
which can lead to the motor overheating.
Do not use the Carrera RC vehicle for
transporting goods, persons or animals.
D
Never use the Carrera RC vehicle
outdoors during rain or snowfall.
The car must not be run through 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.
E
Never operate the vehicle near riv-
ers, ponds or lakes, to avoid the risk
of the Carrera RC car falling into the
water. Avoid running on courses which
are laid exclusively with sand.
F
Do not expose the Carrera RC vehi-
cle to direct sunlight. To avoid the
electronics in the car overheating, when
temperatures are above 35 ° C, regular
short pauses in operation are essential.
G
Never subject the Carrera car to re-
peated 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 15 cm (0.49 ft.).
K
Never use strong solvents for clean-
ing the car.
L
To avoid malfunctions to the control
system resulting in uncontrolled op-
eration of the Carrera RC vehicle, check
that the controller batteries and the re-
chargeable batteries in the vehicle have
sufficient charge.
Supply terminals are not to be short-cir-
cuited.
M
The Carrera RC vehicle must be in-
spected before and after operation,
each time it is used, to ensure that it has
not become disassembled. Any screws
or nuts that may have become loosened
during operation must be tightened.

Recharging the LiPo
rechargeable battery
Make sure you only charge the LiPo re-
chargeable battery supplied with the LiPo
charging unit also supplied (USB cable).
In case you try to charge the rechargeable
battery with a different LiPo battery charg
-
er or any other battery charger, this might
cause serious damages. Please carefully
read the previous chapter about warnings
and guidelines on the usage of recharge
-
able batteries before proceeding.
The rechargeable battery fitted in the car
with its USB charging cable can be
charged from a USB port on a computer:
2
Charging via computer:
• Connect the USB charging cable with
the USB port of a computer. The LED on
the USB charger cable lights green indi-
cating that the charger unit is correctly
connected to the computer.
If you plug in a car with a discharged
battery, the LED on the USB charging
cable lights up red and shows that the
car battery is being charged. The USB
charging cable and the charging socket
on the car are designed to make incor-
rect connection impossible.
• It takes about 40 minutes to recharge a
discharged battery (but NOT a deep-
discharged one). When the battery is
fully charged, the LED display in the
USB charging cable lights up green
again.
Note: When supplied, the lipo-battery
is already partially charged so the first
charging cycle may well take less
time.
It is essential to follow the connection
sequence given above! If you have the
charger cable only connected to the
car, and not to a source of electricity, a
green LED display indicates that there
is still power in the battery. The green
LED display does not necessarily indi-
cate the battery is still adequately
charged.
While charging, the power switch
must be in the “OFF” position.
Inserting the batteries in the controller
3
Open the battery compartment with a screwdriver and in-
sert the batteries in the remote control. Please keep in
mind the correct polarity. Different types of batteries or new and
used batteries are not to be mixed. After having closed the com-
partment 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 con-
trol will light up red.
Now you can drive the car
The Carrera RC car and the remote control are bound as a factory
setting.
4
1. Switch the car ON at the ON/OFF switch. The LED on
bottom of the car will flash rhythmically.
5
2. Switch on the controller. The LED on top of the controller
will flash rhythmically.
After a few seconds, the LEDs on the car and on the controller will
light continuously, meaning the bind has been made.
