Contents of package
1
1 x Carrera RC Vehicle
1 x Controller
1 x USB charger cable
1 x 3,2 V – 320 mAh LiFePO
4
rechargeable battery
2 x 1.5 V Micro AAA batteries (non-rechargeable)
Charging the rechargeable battery via computer
2
Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the toy before being
charged. Take care only to charge the LiFePO
4
battery supplied with the
LiFePO
4
charging unit (USB charger cable) also supplied. If you attempt to re-
charge the battery with any other LiFePO
4
battery charger or any other type of
charger, this may result in serious damage.
Please carefully read the previous
chapter with warnings and guidelines on the usage of rechargeable batteries
before proceeding.
You can recharge the rechargeable battery with the respective
USB charger cable from a computer USB port (USB 3.0) or a USB power supply unit
with at least 1A output voltage:
• Connect the USB charger cable with the USB port of a computer
. The
LED on the USB charger cable lights green and indicates that the charger is
correctly connected to the computer. When you connect an empty recharge-
able battery, the LED on the USB charger cable goes off and indicates that
the battery is being charged. The USB charger cable is so designed that
reversed polarity is not possible.
• It lasts about 50 minutes to recharge a discharged (NOT a deep-discharged)
battery. When the battery is fully charged, the LED display on the USB
charger cable lights green again.
Always recharge the battery after use to prevent its becoming deep dis-
charged. After use, the battery must be allowed to cool down for at least
20 minutes before it can be fully recharged. Recharge the battery
occasionally (suggested every 2–3 months). Supply terminals are not to
be short-circuited. Failure to treat the battery as described above can
lead to its becoming defective. Never leave the battery unattended while
it is being charged.
3
Using a screwdriver, remove the cover of the battery compartment in the
Carrera RC car. Ensure the polarity is correct.
Adjusting the steering (left/right)
4
Open the battery compartment with a screwdriver and insert the batteries
in the remote control. Ensure the polarity is correct.
5
1. Switch the car ON at the ON/OFF switch. The LED on top of the car will
flash rhythmically.
6
2. Switch on the controller. The LED on top of the controller will flash
rhythmically. After a few seconds, the LEDs on the car and on the control-
ler will light continuously, meaning the bind has been made.
• When changing from the first battery to the second battery, you must
stop running for at least ten minutes. At the next change, a pause of at
least 20 minutes is absolutely essential.
• Avoid constant motor operation.
• If the car switches itself off several times one after another, the battery
is dead. Please recharge the battery.
• Always keep the rechargeable battery stored outside the vehicle.
• Clean the Carrera RC car after use.

Troubleshooting
The vehicle does not work
• Position the switches on the transmitter and vehicle to “ON”.
• Have the batteries/power packs been inserted correctly?
• Are the battery contacts bent or dirty?
• Are the batteries discharged or defective?
• Are the vehicle and the transmitter/controller connected properly (see
6
)?
The vehicle does not work properly; the range is too small!
• Is battery/accumulator power fading?
• Are any other remote control devices close by which might be transmitting on
the same frequency?
• Is interference being caused by metal railings or fences?
• Transmitter or power masts often cause the model vehicle to behave in an
uncontrolled manner.
• Are there walkie-talkies/CB radios/wireless networks in the vicinity that might
cause interference?
