Safety
Radio-controlled models are not toys!
You can make a major contribution to safety when operating your models by acting
responsibly and handling your radio control system and model with due care.
v Check the electrical and mechanical connections in the model at regular
intervals.
v Check all moving parts regularly: they must be free to move, and must not
exhibit undue lost motion.
v Carry out regular range checks (see „Range testing“).
v When other drivers are present at the track, find out which channels are
already in use before you switch on.
v Before every run: extend the transmitter aerial to full length, and check that
it is in good condition and firmly seated.
v Check that you have selected the model memory corresponding to the
model you are running.
v Check all the working systems in your model before you start:
Do the servos rotate in the correct direction?
Are the travels correct?
v Are the transmitter and receiver battery adequately charged, and in well
maintained and roadworthy condition?
v Use only genuine MULTIPLEX crystals, batteries and accessories.
v If your receiving system includes components which are not covered by
these operating instructions, be sure to read the instructions supplied with
those items.
If you are in doubt on any point - don’t operate your model! Take your time, carefully
check the system again, and eliminate the fault. If you cannot solve the problem,
your local model shop or the MULTIPLEX customer service department will be
pleased to help you with advice and practical help.

Read and observe the notes in Chapter 11 on using the system!
