2 x 1.5 V Micro AAA batteries
(non-rechargeable)
Charging the rechargeable battery
First connect the RC POWER FORCE recharge-
2
able battery to the battery charger supplied. The
connection terminals 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 dis-
connected and installed in the RC POWER
FORCE car. The car is now ready for use.
Always recharge the battery after use to pre-
vent its becoming deep discharged. 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 oc-
casionally (suggested every 2-3 months). Fail-
ure to treat the battery as described above can
lead to its becoming defective. Rechargeable
batteries are only to be charged by adults.
Installing the rechargeable battery
Using a screwdriver, remove the cover of the bat-
3
tery compartment in the RC POWER FORCE car.
Connect the end of the cable from the RC POWER
FORCE vehicle with the charged battery. Put the
battery in place. Replace the compartment cover
using a screwdriver.
Inserting the batteries
Open the battery compartment with a screwdriver
4
and insert the batteries in the remote control. Please
keep in mind the correct polarity. Different types
of batteries or new and used batteries are not to
be mixed. After having closed the compartment
you can check all functions of the remote control
with the help of the power-switch on the front.
With the power-switch turned ON and proper
functioning, the top center LED on the remote
control will light up red.
Now you can drive the car
The RC POWER FORCE car and the remote con-
5
trol are bound as a factory setting.
1. Switch the car ON at the ON/OFF switch. The
6
LED on top of the car will flash rhythmically.
2. Switch on the controller. The LED on top of the
7
controller will flash rhythmically.
After a few seconds, the LEDs on the car and on
the controller will light continuously, meaning the
bind has been made.
Adjusting the steering
8
If the RC POWER FORCE vehicle is found to pull
towards the left or right while moving, use the ad-
juster control shown in the illustration to adjust the
car's track precision.
Let's practise!
Warning! This vehicle reaches speeds up to
9
18 km/h (11 mph). 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 RC POWER
10
FORCE vehicle racing track in a large empty area,
using cornerposts, empty cans, or similar objects.
The basic technique to adopt when operating a
RC POWER FORCE 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 es-
sential.
• Avoid constant motor operation.
• If the car switches itself off several times one
after another, the battery is dead. Please re-
charge the battery.
• After 30 minutes inactivity, the controller
and vehicle switch off automatically. To re-
start, switch the ON/OFF switch on the con-
troller & 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 battery after use to
prevent its becoming deep discharged. Af-
ter 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 RC POWER FORCE car after use.
Controller functions
SERVO TRONIC
11
You can use the joysticks to carry out precise
steering and driving manoeuvres.
Left joystick: forwards and backwards at dif-
ferent speeds. Please note that the vehicle runs
faster forwards than it does backwards.
Right joystick: steering right and left with vari-
able lock for precise steering
Thanks to 2.4 GHz technology, up to 16 cars can
12
be run together on one race-track. This is possible
even without harmonising frequencies between
the racing drivers.
The joysticks are removable. Alternatively, the ve-
13
hicle can be controlled with a rocker. The joysticks
can be stored in the special compartment at the
back of the controller.
Attach the lanyard to the eyelet on the controller
14
and let the controller hang from your neck.
Warning! Danger of strangulation!

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 remote control is possibly not correctly frequency
bound with the receiver on the model
Solution: Carry out a frequency bind between the model
and the remote control as described in "Now you can drive
the car"
Cause: The transmitter has switched itself off after 30 min-
utes.
Solution: To restart, switch the ON/OFF switch on both con-
troller & vehicle to OFF and then back to ON..
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: Vehicle starts moving unintentionally.
Solution: Carry out a frequency bind between the model
and the remote control as described in "Now you can drive
the car."
