B) Operation - ModelCraft GT3 Bedienungsanleitung

• Should any questions arise that are not answered with the help of this operating manual, please contact our "Tech-
nical Advisory Service" (contact information see chapter 1) or another expert.
The operation and handling of RC models must be learned! If you have never controlled such a model,
start especially carefully to get used to how it responds to the remote commands. Do be patient!

b) Operation

• If you do not yet have sufficient knowledge on how to deal with remote-controlled models, please contact an expe-
rienced model sportsman or a model construction club.
• When putting the device into operation, always turn on the transmitter first. Then switch on the receiver in the model.
Otherwise, the model might show unpredictable responses! Angle the transmitter aerial to the side of the model in
order to obtain the best transmission signal emission. Avoid directing the tip of the aerial directly towards your eyes.
• Before operating the model, check whether the stationary model reacts as expected to the commands of the remote
control.
• When you operate the model, always make sure that no parts of your body, other people or objects come within the
dangerous range of the motors or any other rotating drive parts.
• Improper operation can cause serious damage to people and property! Always make sure that the model is in your
line of sight and do not operate it at night.
• Only operate your model if your ability to respond is unrestricted. The influence of tiredness, alcohol or medication
can cause incorrect responses.
• Operate your model in an area where you do not endanger other people, animals or objects. Only operate it on
private sites or in places which are specifically designated for this purpose.
• In case of an error, stop operating your model immediately and remove the cause of malfunction before you continue
to use the model.
• Do not operate your RC system during thunderstorms, beneath high-voltage power lines or in the proximity of radio
masts.
• Never switch off the remote control (transmitter) while the model is in use. After finishing driving your model, always
switch off the motor first and the receiver system afterwards. Only then may the remote control be switched off.
• Protect the remote control from dampness and heavy dirt.
• Do not expose the remote control to direct sunlight or excessive heat for any extended period of time.
• If the batteries (or rechargeable batteries) in the remote control are low, the range decreases. If the rechargeable
battery in the receiver is low, the model will not respond correctly to the remote control.
If this is the case, stop driving immediately. Replace the batteries with new ones or recharge the rechargeable
batteries.
• Do not take any risks when operating the product! Your own safety and that of your environment is solely down to
you being responsible when dealing with the model.
