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 dis-
charged. After use, the battery must be allowed to cool down for at least
20 minutes before it can be fully recharged. Failure to observe thispause
may damage the battery. Recharge the battery occasionally (suggested
every 2–3 months). Failure to treat the battery as described above can

tice on an empty surface at least2.5 metres (8.2') square. 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
9
large empty area, using cornerposts, 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.
• Driving on floor coverings with high resistance will shorten the driving
duration!
• 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 restart, 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 bat-
tery 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.
