C) Switching The Transmitter On - ModelCraft 23 10 21 Bedienungsanleitung

When connecting a charging cable, you must observe the correct polarity of the
connecting plug. The inner contact of the charging socket has to be connected to
the positive terminal (+) and the outside contact to the negative terminal (-) of the
charger.
The charging current should be approx. 1/10 of the capacity value of the inserted
rechargeable batteries. With rechargeable batteries with a capacity of 2000 mAh
this corresponds to a charging current of approx. 200 mA, and a charging time of
approx. 14 hours.
Since a protective diode is integrated in the charging circuit, no chargers that
briefly interrupt the charging current in order to measure the current battery volt-
age must be used. In this case, the rechargeable batteries must be removed from
the transmitter.
In order to avoid damages to the conductors and connections, please do not use
fast chargers.

c) Switching the transmitter on

When the rechargeable batteries are charged or when new batteries are inserted, pull the
transmitter antenna all the way out and, for test purposes, switch the transmitter on with the
function switch (see figure 1, no. 6).
Push the button to the right to the steering wheel. The red control LED (see fig. 1, no. 10) briefly
lights up and then stays illuminated.
In addition, three short beeps indicate a sufficient power supply in the transmitter.
Moreover, the operation mode display appears in the
LCD.
In addition to the model memory the operation mode
display shows the present voltage value of the batter-
ies and the activation of the ABS function.
Should the voltage fall below 8.0V, the display will show
the battery symbol and the RC transmitter will give alarm
signals in regular intervals and the red control LED will
start flashing.
In this case, you should stop operating your model as
quickly as possible.
For further operation of the transmitter the recharge-
able batteries have to be recharged or new batteries
have to be inserted (switch off the car first!).
In order to avoid the memory effect in NiCd rechargeable batteries, you should only connect
the charger when the rechargeable batteries are completely discharged. Use a charger with a
discharging function, if possible.
