1.1 Safety instructions
Caution:
Possible hazards!
When handling magnets, wearers of pacemakers should exercise the usual caution.
Magnets are no toys. There is the danger of swallowing the magnets. They must therefore be kept out of the reach of
children as long as they are out of their packaging and not mounted! Moreover, magnets may easily break or splinter
under mechanical pressure!

2. Vehicle configuration and control with IR remote control
Hint:
Before first use, remove the battery fuse!
The remote control facilitates the control of the CarMotion vehicles on the layout as well as simple settings at the vehicle.
For this purpose the remote control is directed towards the front part of the vehicle where its infrared sensors are located.
Distances larger than 50 cm require a very precise alignment of the remote control with the vehicle. Under favourable
conditions a distance of up to 1 m is possible. For optimal alignment, see fig. 1. The device is designed for a local control
of the vehicles – driving on sight, so to speak. You can switch the basic functions and change the speed without having to
connect the vehicle to its programming device, item 8401. The key assignment is listed below:
