Transmitter & Receiver Binding
LiteHawk STING is ready to drive. There is no binding required.
1. Switch ON the transmitter.
2. Switch ON the STING. The switch is located on the bottom of the chassis.
Before you drive:
Before every use it’s recommended to check that the steering and drivetrain are
moving freely and nothing is binding. Next ensure that the truck and the transmitter
are working correctly. Before you drive your truck, range test the radio system to
ensure that it operates properly! Turn on the transmitter and then the truck, check its
operating as it should. Walk away from the truck giving steering input with the radio
until you reach the maximum distance you are planning to drive your truck. If you lose
input control walk back towards the truck. You now know the safe operating distance
for your immediate environment. Do not attempt to operate the model if there is any
problem with the radio system/external interference with your radio signal at your
location.
Battery:
The rechargeable Ni-Cad battery provides the power to propel your truck, you should
expect 6-10 min run time. Extra batteries are available at www.litehawk.ca.
- Once the truck starts to slow, drive your truck to a safe place, walk over and turn it
off.
- It is recommend to charge the battery after your run and to always store the battery
with a charge.
- You Must FULLY charge the battery before using your new truck.
- Do not leave the battery plugged into the truck when it is not being used.
Battery and Charging:
Place your STING on a clean flat surface. Avoid areas where small parts may be lost.
The battery is housed in the battery compartment located in the bottom of the chassis.
Unscrew using a Phillips screw driver (not included).
- You will see two connection leads, one connects to the battery and one connects to the
model.
- You will notice that the plug on that battery and wall mount charger have been
designed to only be connected together one way. Do not force them together, they only
plug in one way!
- To charge the battery simply plug the charger into the wall and then plug the battery
into the charger. Typically there is a 1 hour to 1.5 hour charge time.
- Place your fully charged battery in the battery slot. Make sure the power switch on the
model is in the OFF position. Plug the battery connector into the model connector. Don’t
force it, it only goes one way!
- Close the battery compartment door and secure by re-installing the Phillips screw.
