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.
Never operate the product on grass
C
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.
Never use the Carrera RC vehicle
D
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.
Never operate the vehicle near riv-
E
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-
F
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-
G
peated changes of load – that means
continuously reversing it.
Always place the car on the floor by
H
hand. Never throw the car on the
floor from a standing position.
Avoid jumping from jumps or ramps
I
higher than 3 cm (0.1 ft.).
Never use strong solvents for clean-
K
ing the car.
To avoid malfunctions to the control
L
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.
The Carrera RC vehicle must be in-
M
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.

1 x Controller
1 x USB charging cable
2 x 1.5 V Micro AAA batteries (non-rechargeable)
1 x 3,7V 120mAh LiPo rechargeable battery (installed)
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:
Charging via computer:
2
• Connect the USB charging cable with
the USB port of a computer. The LED
on the USB charger cable lights green
indicating that the charger unit is cor-
rectly connected to the computer.
If you plug in a vehicle with a discharged
battery, the LED on the USB charging
cable does not light up; this shows that
the vehicle battery is being charged.
The USB charging cable and the charg-
ing socket on the car are designed to
make incorrect 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
vehicle and not to a source of electric-
ity, please note the following: The
green LED display does not necessar-
ily indicate the battery is still ade-
quately charged.
While charging, the power switch
must be in the "OFF" position.
