Safety precautions

Radio controlled models are not toys, operating them has to be learned step by step.

• Children less than 14 years of age should drive the model only together with a supervising adult.
  Driving a radio-controlled car is a fascinating hobby that has to be practiced with the necessary caution and respect.
  A radio-controlled model car can cause damage and injuries in case of uncontrolled driving conditions and the user is liable for this.

• Make sure that you have sufficient insurance coverage in practicing your hobby.
  Only a well maintained model will function in a correct manner.

• Only use approved spare parts and never fit any unsuitable items.
  It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the model is functioning correctly and that all nuts, bolts, and screws are properly tightened.

Never start driving before you have made sure of the following points:

• Batteries for transmitter and receiver are well charged and of the correct voltage.
• Always check the radio operation before starting the car.
• Make sure that all Servos respond correctly to the signals of the transmitter.
• All operable parts are in good condition and you have tested their operation.
• You have made sure that all screws are tightened.
• There is no other RC or similar transmitter nearby which could cause interference.
  Any further radio signal on the same frequency can cause the loss of control for your model.

Always switch on the transmitter first to avoid any uncontrolled reaction of the receiver to a foreign radio impulse.

• Fully extend the transmitter antenna and make sure that nobody in your environment controls a model with the same frequency (number on the crystal) and that there is no
  discernable interference.

To end the operation switch off the receiver first, then the transmitter.

• Keep your car away from high voltage cables or radio masts. Never use the model when lightning is present.

• Atmospheric disturbances can affect the signals of your remote-controlling transmitter.

• Do not use the model in wet areas. The electrical connection of the model is not waterproof. Therefore do not drive while raining, snowing, in puddles, or on wet grass.
  Always avoid running radio control models in restricted, confined, or populated areas.

• Keep away from roads, highways, people, and animals! Choose a sufficiently open & large area; it should be free of obstacles.
  Do not drive, if you are overtired or your reactivity is impaired in another way.

• Watch your model constantly and do not become distracted.
  The body shell should be correctly attached to the vehicle before driving.

• Allow cooling time for the engine components before removing the body shell.
  These parts become extremely hot during operation and could cause serious injury.
  Pay attention to charge announcement of your transmitter.

• Ensure that the batteries for the radio and receiver are fully charged and of the correct voltage. When the batteries are running low you might lose control of your model.
  Never use fully loaded batteries and batteries that have already run low, or batteries of a different capacity at the same time.

• Never load batteries that are not rechargeable

If not using the model for a longer time, the rechargeable battery for driving has to be removed absolutely.

Finally
Please read the instructions before operating your model. Each time you have finished driving the model, always check the correct operation of the components. A single loose screw can result in a dangerous situation for your model. Maintain your model regularly and replace damaged or worn-out parts with genuine spare parts.

We wish you great fun with your CARSON model car!

• Put the antenna pipe into the antenna foot on the chassis

d. Loading Battery
Beware:

Only use the specially provided charger units to charge the batteries.
Otherwise, your drive battery could be damaged. We recommend the CARSON Expert charger Nº 50 060 6040, 50 060 6041, and 50 060 6042.

• Fix it with the hook pins.

f. Turn the Power Switch on

• Pull the transmitter antenna out completely.
  The range of the remote control is reduced if the antenna is not pulled out completely.

CAUTION!
Always turn the transmitter’s power switch ON first!

1. Connect the rechargeable battery for driving.
2. Switch on the receiver.
3. Put the body on and fix it with the body split pins.

g. How to Control Your Model

• Raise the tyres off the ground.
• Turn the steering wheel to the right and left as far as it will go. The wheels are to follow the steering direction.
• If the wheels operate in the opposite direction, operate the servo Reverse switch (ST in position REV).

• For regulating the driving speed operate the gas/brake
  – lever to the rear (driving forward, to give speed)
  – and/or forward (braking, reverse movement)

h. How to Change Frequencies
Transmitter

A rapid change of frequencies is possible simply by unplugging an interchangeable plug in crystal on the back of the transmitter and then plugging in another one of a different frequency. Crystals for both the transmitter and receiver must be matched with each other. Make sure that the crystal is fully inserted in the transmitter and receiver, not partially.

Receiver
Plug in an interchangeable crystal into the receiver for a rapid change of frequencies.

Troubleshooting
