Charging the rechargeable battery
via computer
2
Take care only to charge the lithium ion
battery supplied with the lithium ion charging
unit (USB charging cradle) also supplied. If
you attempt to recharge the battery with any
other lithium ion battery charger or any other
type of charger, this may result in serious
damage. You can recharge the rechargeable
battery with the respective USB charging cra-
dle from a USB port of a computer:
• Connect the USB charging cradle with the
USB port of a computer . The LED on the
USB charging cradle lights green and indi-
cates that the charger is correctly connect-
ed to the computer. Place the rechargeable
battery in the charging cradle . The LED
on the USB charging cradle lights red to in-
dicate that the battery is being charged.The
USB charging cradle is so designed that re-
versed polarity is not possible.
• It lasts about 90 minutes to recharge a dis-
charged (NOT a deep-discharged) battery.
When the battery is fully charged, the LED
display on the USB charging cradle lights
green again.
Note: when delivered, the lithium ion re-
chargeable battery contained is already
part-charged, so the first charging opera-
tion will not last so long.
Always recharge 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. Failure to observe
thispause may damage the battery. Re-
charge the battery occasionally (suggest-
ed every 2–3 months).
Failure to treat the battery as described
above can lead to its becoming defective.

Let's practise!
Warning! This vehicle reaches high

speeds! Practice on an empty surface at
least 2.5 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 large empty area,
using cornerposts, empty cans, or similar ob-
jects. 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.
