Controller Functions; Charging The Rechargeable Battery - Carrera PROFI RC Ford F-150 Raptor Instrucciones De Montaje

ENGLISH
Never operate the vehicle near riv-
F
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.
Do not expose the Carrera RC vehi-
G
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.
Never subject the Carrera car to re-
H
peated changes of load – that means
continuously reversing it.
Always place the car on the floor by
I
hand. Never throw the car on the
floor from a standing position.
Avoid jumping from jumps or ramps
K
higher than 15 cm (0.49 ft.).
Never use strong solvents for clean-
L
ing the car.
To avoid malfunctions to the control
M
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-circuited.
The Carrera RC vehicle must be in-
N
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.
Undo the two clips on the top of the body-
work to remove it.

1 x Controller
1 x Battery Charger
1 x Rechargeable Battery
2 x 1.5 V Mignon AA batteries (non-rechargeable)
Charging the rechargeable battery
First connect the Carrera RC re-
2
chargeable battery to the battery
charger supplied. The connection termi-
nals between the battery and the charger
are designed to prevent connection with
the wrong polarity. Connect the charger
to a power source.
When the battery is properly connected
and charging normally, the red LED is
constantly lit. Once the battery is fully
charged, the red LED switches to green.
The battery can now be disconnected
and installed in the Carrera RC car. The
car is now ready for use.
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 re­
charged. Failure to observe thispause
may damage the battery. Recharge the
battery occasionally (suggested every
2–3 months). Failure to treat the bat­
tery as described above can lead to its
becoming defective.
Inserting the batteries
Open the battery compartment with a screwdriver. Press
3
the release button and take the battery compartment out of
the controller. Please keep in mind the correct polarity. Different
types of batteries or new and used batteries are not to be mixed.
Push the battery compartment back into the controller until it
latches in place. If necessary, screw the battery compartment in
place with a screwdriver.
Installing the rechargeable battery
Connect the end of the cable from
4
the Carrera RC vehicle with the
charged battery.
Fasten the rechargeable battery and the
cable in the mount as shown in the illus-
tration.
Switch the car ON at the ON/OFF
5
switch. The LED on the car will flash
rhythmically.
Switch on the controller. After a few
6
seconds, the LEDs on the car and
on the controller will light continuously,
meaning the bind has been made.
Let's practise!
Warning! This vehicle reaches speeds up to
7
50 km/h (31 mph). Practice on an empty surface at least
6 metres (19.68') square. When first starting, be very careful
when operating the gas pedal. Practice running slowly for at
least two to three full charges of the battery before you start prac-
tising faster manoeuvres.
Now it's time to practise! Set up a Carrera RC vehicle rac-
8
ing track in a large empty area, using cornerposts, empty
cans, or similar objects. The basic technique to adopt when oper-
ating 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.
• To switch off after use, follow the steps in the reverse order.
• After use, remove or disconnect the battery. Always re­
charge 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.

Controller functions
When the controller is switched on, the red LED lamps at
9
the front of the controller are lit.
Control digital proportional

Gas pedal to the rear: forwards
Gas pedal to the front: braking, or backwards
Turn the steering wheel clockwise: right
Turn the steering wheel anti-clockwise: left
Please note that for reasons of safety, the maximum speed in
reverse is about 40 % less.

Fine steering adjustment
If the vehicle does not run in a straight line, you can make fine
steering adjustments here.
Thanks to 2.4 GHz technology, up to 16 cars can be run
12
together on one race-track. This is possible even without
harmonising frequencies between the racing drivers.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Car does not move.
Cause: Either the switch on the controller or the car is set to OFF.
Solution: Switch on.
Cause: There is no rechargeable battery in the car or the battery
is too weak.
Solution: Insert charged battery.
Cause: The car has come to a stop at an obstacle.
Solution: The voltage surge protector has switched the car off.
Turn the ON/OFF switch on the car to OFF, then back to ON, and
place the car on a clear surface.
Cause: The battery or rechargeable battery in the transmitter or
model is too weak.
Solution: Insert new battery or recharged battery.
Cause: The vehicle is very warm.
Solution: Switch both car and controller off and allow the car to
cool down for about 30 minutes.
Cause: The overheat protection has caused the car's motor to cut
out due to excess temperature.
Solution: Switch off the receiver. Leave the RC car to cool down
for approx. 30 minutes.
Problem
Car cannot be controlled.
Cause: The vehicle starts off on its own.
Solution: Carry out a frequency bind between the model and the
remote control as described in Installing the rechargeable battery"
