Driving The Vehicle - Reely Deathwatcher XL Bedienungsanleitung

8.3

Driving the vehicle

Improper use can cause serious injury and damage to property! Only use the vehicle when it is within your sight.
Do not use the vehicle at night.
Only use the vehicle when you are fully alert and able to respond. As is the case when driving a real vehicle,
fatigue, alcohol, or medications can affect your ability to react.
This model vehicle must not be used on public roads, spaces or paths. Do not use the vehicle on private land
without the landowner's permission.
Do not drive towards people or animals!
Avoid driving at very low outdoor temperatures. Plastic parts lose their elasticity at cold temperatures. This can
result in serious damage even after a minor accident.
Do not use the vehicle during thunderstorms, under high-voltage power lines or next to radio masts.
Always leave the transmitter turned on when the vehicle is in use.
To stop the vehicle, always turn off the vehicle's speed controller first, then completely disconnect the two drive
rechargeable batteries from the speed controller. Then turn off the transmitter.
The transmitter range decreases as the batteries/rechargeable batteries get weaker. Replace the used batteries/
rechargeable batteries with new ones.
If the drive batteries in the vehicle are weak, the vehicle will become slower or will no longer respond correctly to
the transmitter.
Both drive batteries in the vehicle serve to supply the motor via the speed controller, and the latter also generates
the necessary voltage/power for the operation of the receiver and the steering servo. This voltage is generated
via an integrated BEC ("battery eliminator circuit", an electronic circuit that supplies voltage directly to the receiver
without an additional receiver rechargeable battery).
If the voltage of the drive batteries is too low, the voltage of the receiver may also drop, which means that the
vehicle will no longer respond to the transmitter's control commands. In this case, stop operating the vehicle im-
mediately (turn off the speed controller, disconnect the drive batteries from the vehicle, and switch off the transmit-
ter). Then replace both drive batteries in the vehicle or fully recharge them.
Both the motor and the drive as well as the speed controller and the drive batteries of the vehicle become hot
during operation. Take a break of at least 5–10 minutes before changing the rechargeable battery.
Before charging the drive batteries, allow them to cool down completely. Likewise, allow the drive batteries to
cool down after charging before operating the vehicle. Please refer to the operating instructions for the charger
you are using.
Do not touch the motor, speed controller and drive batteries until they have cooled down. Burn hazard!
Always make sure that the low voltage detection is enabled when operating the vehicle with LiPo drive batteries
(we recommend 3.2 V per cell or higher).
If low voltage detection is disabled, LiPo rechargeable batteries may be deeply discharged and thereby destroyed.
This will void the warranty/guarantee!
