f) Taking the Transmitter and Receiver System into Operation
Open the battery compartment on the transmitter and insert new batteries or fully charged rechargeable batteries.
Observe correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-), see label on the battery compartment. Close the battery compartment
again.
Switch on the transmitter. Check the function of the transmitter.
Observe the enclosed operating instructions for the remote control system.
First switch on the receiver system of the vehicle (see figure 1, item "A", switch in the "ON" position).
g) Checking the Transmitter's Range
In order not to lose control over your model you should, before every first start or after a crash, check the function and
range of the RC system. For the range test, it is sufficient to check the steering servo function.
Due to the good traction of the wheels and the weight of the vehicle, the wheels would not follow your steering com-
mands spontaneously and directly while still on the floor. Therefore, support the model at the front axle in a way that
allows the wheels to hang freely.
Only perform the range test without the engine running!
Proceed as follows:
• First switch on the transmitter (if you have not done so yet), then the receiver power supply.
• Move approx. 50 m away from the model.
• Move the steering wheel for the steering function at the transmitter to the right; the wheels must deflect to the right.
• Move the steering wheel to the left; the wheels must deflect to the left.
• Release the lever of the remote control. The wheels must return to the middle position.
Never drive the model with a defective remote control system!
Before driving, find the error if the reactions during the range test are not as described. Chapter 15 has more
information on troubleshooting.
