E) Connecting The Drive Battery To The Speed Controller; F) Switching On The Speed Controller - Reely Stagger Bedienungsanleitung

e) Connecting the drive battery to the speed controller

Place the vehicle on a suitable base (or a start box) so that the wheels can move freely. This ensures that
you will not lose control of the vehicle if the wheels move suddenly (e.g. if the throttle trim is not set cor-
rectly).
Do not reach into the drive. Do not hold the wheels.
Switch off the speed controller first (move the switch to
the "OFF" position). The on/off switch can be found at the
top of the chassis, next to the steering servo. Then, if you
have not already done so, start up the transmitter (see
section 9. b) and c).
Connect the drive battery to the speed controller. Ensure
that the battery is inserted in the correct polarity (red cable
= positive/+, black cable = negative/-). Do not use force
when connecting the battery plug to the speed controller.
Important!
This vehicle is only suitable for one LiPo drive battery with 2 cells (rated voltage 7.4 V) or one NiMH drive
battery with 6-7 cells (rated voltage 7.2 V or 8.4 V).
Make sure that the cable cannot get into the vehicle's drive or into the steering mechanism. If necessary, use cable
ties to fasten the cables.

f) Switching on the speed controller

Turn on the speed controller by moving the slide switch to the "ON" position, as shown in the figure in chapter 9. e).
Then wait a few seconds (leave the throttle/brake lever on the transmitter in the neutral position, do not move it). The
speed controller measures the battery voltage; depending upon this, the engine beeps.
The acoustic signals are generated by the brushless engine.
• 2 beeps: 2-cell LiPo drive battery or 6-cell NiMH drive battery detected
• 3 beeps: 7-cell NiMH drive battery detected
Important!
The undervoltage detection feature works by detecting the battery voltage when the speed controller is
switched on. (The undervoltage detection feature switches off the engine when the LiPo battery is empty to
prevent the battery from overdischarging.)
For this reason, ensure that you connect a fully charged drive battery to the speed controller.
Check that the throttle and steering functions are working correctly.
Refer to chapter 10 for instructions on how to program the speed controller.
