Inserting The Batteries; Troubleshooting - Carrera Lime Star – PX Montage- Und Betriebsanleitung

Always place the car on the floor by hand. Never throw the car on the floor

from a standing position.
Avoid jumping from jumps or ramps higher than 15 cm (0.49 ft.).

The Carrera RC vehicle is not designed for collisions with walls or other
L
obstructions.
Never use strong solvents for cleaning the car. We recommend that you

clean the vehicle using compressed air after every trip.
To avoid malfunctions to the control system resulting in uncontrolled oper-
N
ation of the Carrera RC vehicle, check that the controller batteries and the
rechargeable batteries in the vehicle have sufficient charge. Supply termi-
nals are not to be short-circuited.
The Carrera RC vehicle must be inspected before and after operation,
O
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. Undo the two clips on the top of the bodywork to remove it.

Charging the rechargeable battery
Take care only to charge the LiFePO

charging unit (USB charger cable) also supplied. If you attempt to re-
charge the battery with any other LiFePO
charger, this may result in serious damage. You can recharge the rechargea-
ble battery with the respective USB charger cable from a computer USB port
(USB 3.0) or a USB power supply unit with at least 1A output voltage:
• Connect the USB charger cable with the USB port of a computer
LED on the USB charger cable lights green and indicates that the charger is
correctly connected to the computer. When you connect an empty recharge-
able battery, the LED on the USB charger cable goes off and indicates that
the battery is being charged.
reversed polarity is not possible.
• It lasts about 80 minutes to recharge a discharged (NOT a deep-discharged)
battery. When the battery is fully charged, the LED display on the USB
charger cable lights green again
Always recharge the battery after use to prevent its becoming deep dis-
charged. 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. Recharge the battery occasionally (suggested
every 2–3 months). Failure to treat the battery as described above can
lead to its becoming defective.

Inserting the batteries

Open the battery compartment with a screwdriver. Press the release but-
3
ton and take the battery compartment out of the controller. Please keep in
mind the correct polarity. Different types of batteries or new and used batteries
are not to be mixed. Push the battery compartment back into the controller
until it latches in place. If necessary, screw the battery compartment in place
with a screwdriver.

tice on an empty surface at least 6 metres (19.68') square. When first
starting, be very careful when operating the gas pedal. Practice running
slowly for at least two to three full charges of the battery before you start
practising faster manoeuvres.
Now it's time to practise! Set up a Carrera RC vehicle racing track in a
10
large empty area, using cornerposts, empty cans, or similar objects. The
basic technique to adopt when operating a Carrera RC 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 essential.
• Avoid constant motor operation.
• If the car switches itself off several times one after another, the battery
is dead. Please recharge the battery.
• To switch off after use, follow the steps in the reverse order.
• After use, remove or disconnect the battery. Always recharge the bat-
tery 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.
• Always keep the rechargeable battery stored outside the vehicle.
• Clean the Carrera RC car after use.
Controller functions
When the controller is switched on, the red LED lamps at the front of the

If the vehicle does not run in a straight line, you can make fine steering
adjustments here.
Thanks to 2.4 GHz technology, up to 16 cars can be run together on one

race-track. This is possible even without harmonising frequencies be-
tween the racing drivers.

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 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: The vehicle starts off on its own.
Solution: Carry out a frequency bind between the model and the remote con-
trol as described in Installing the rechargeable battery"
