c) Switching on the Transmitter
• First ensure that no other model sportsman in the proximity is using a transmitter on the same frequency.
Two or more transmitters on the same frequency will interfere with each other and the models can no longer be
controlled!
• Pull out the telescopic aerial all the way.
• Always switch on the transmitter before taking the model into operation. Otherwise, the model may show unpredictable
responses.
When switching off, proceed in reverse order – first switch off the model, and disconnect the rechargeable
batters from the model, then switch off the transmitter.
• Check the power LED (figure 1, item 10). If it only shows a weak light, please stop operating the model and switch it
off. Then exchange the batteries or rechargeable batteries for new ones.
• Put both trim controls (figure 1, items 3 and 4) into their central position.
d) Taking the Model into Operation
Place the model on an appropriate surface so that the drive can turn freely. Do not reach into the drive when taking the
model into operation (e.g. when connecting the rechargeable battery)! Never hold a model vehicle at its wheels!
Electric models with mechanical speed controller
• For power supply, a battery/rechargeable battery box with four mignon batteries/rechargeable batteries or a
rechargeable battery pack with 5 cells is required for connection to the ”BATT” connection of the receiver.
• Adjust the linkage for the mechanical speed controller so that the electric motor does not start up when the throttle/
brake lever (figure 1, item 6) and the throttle/brake trim control (figure 1, item 4) are in their central positions.
• When steering the model forward and backward with the transmitter, the speed controller must reach the respective
contacts without any problem and switch the motor to the correct running direction properly.
• If the servo for the mechanic speed controller is running in the wrong direction, switch the servo running direction
with the reverse switch for throttle/brake (figure 1, item 8).
Electric models with electrical speed controller
• Usually, electric speed controllers have a so-called BEC and produce the receiver’s supply voltage themselves.
If a speed controller with BEC is used, no battery/rechargeable battery box must be used for the receiver!
When using an electronic speed controller without BEX, a battery/rechargeable battery box with four mignon batteries/
rechargeable batteries or a rechargeable battery pack with 5 cells is required for connection to the ”BATT” connection
of the receiver, as for the mechanical speed controller.
See the operating instructions for your electronic speed controller for whether or not a BEC is installed or not.
• Then switch on the speed controller. Then you may have to programme the speed controller for the transmitter
(settings for throttle/brake lever and neutral position). Observe the operating instructions for your speed controller as
well.
• Check the reaction of the speed controller to the throttle/brake lever and, if necessary, toggle the reverse switch for
throttle/brake (figure 1, item 8). You may also have to swap the motor cables!
