IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
Always, tum on
your
transmitterfirst before turning on your vehicle receiver switch. When turning an
RIC vehicle off,
the
orderis
just
the opposite:
Tum
the
receiverswitch offfirst and then
tum
the trans-
mitter off. Just rememberthat when your vehicle is turned ON, yourtransmitter should always be
tumedON.
If
not, your vehicle will no longer
be
under the control
of
yourtransmitter, and could
unexpectedly
take
off
on its own, causing damage
to
itselfand other people.
Never use old, worn out batteries in your transmitter
or
vehicle. Use only fresh batteries
or
fully charged
rechargeable batteries
to
ensure that you will notexceed the range
of
your radio system while driving
yourvehicle.
It
is
also very important
to
stop
your
vehicle immediately when you begin
to
see that
it
is
slowing down. This means the batteries in your vehicle are close
to
being fully discharged, and
if
you
continue
to
run your vehicle after
it
has
slowed,
it
may run "out
of
control" since it does
not
have suffi-
cient voltage left to receive the signals from your transmitter.
Only run yourvehicle in safe, open areas that will not put anything
or
anyone in danger
of
a collision.
Use common sense when driving your vehicle
to
ensure that you are notcausing a potential hazard
to
anyone(crowds
of
people and confined areas should be avoided). Although the model
is
small
and lightweight, it can still hurt when it runs into your ankle height.
It
can also startle someone who
is notexpecting it,
so
it
is extremely important
to
ALWAYS keep a safe distance between any people
and the path
of
your
vehicle(don't forgetthis includes yourself}!
Never run your vehicle through puddles, wet grass, snow
or
any othertype
of
moisture. Also never
use any liquid cleaners around the electronic components on your vehicle. Any small amount
of
moisture can cause severe damage to
your
electronics.
If
you be running yourvehicle with other RIC vehicles, always confirm before turning
your
transmitter
on, that noone else is using your same frequency channel.
If
neccessary, you may change fre-
quencies(certainly this is notrelated to 2.4G radio use).
Always let your
motor
and battery cool down completely between runs.
The
motor
needs
to cool
completely
at
the
end
of
a charge before using again. Heat is a big enemy
of
electric motors.
Overheating the motor will shorten its life and can cause
it
to
fail. Prolonged running on high drag
surfaces like grass, carpet etc.can heatthe motorup and cause possible failure.
CHARGING YOUR VEHICLE
Charge
your
vehicle's battery pack. Connect the charger in
the
box
to
your
battery pack(it will only plug
in one direction)
and
then plug the charger into a standard wall outlet. Charging takes approximately
2-3 hours. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the charger and connect the battery
to
your
speed control.
Your vehicle chargerwill safely charge your battery pack and not
over
charge it. Be careful when using
after market chargers that you do notovercharge the battery pack and ruin it. By the way, this charger is
only
for
the vehicle, notfor the radio control.
