4. Product Description
The 10-channel remote control system "HT-10" is a radio control system that is mainly ideal for function models such
as excavators or crawler vehicles. If necessary, the remote control can also be used to control model planes, model
vehicles, model ships or simple 4-channel model helicopters (speed-controlled).
The various driving and steering functions can be remote-controlled separately using the ten proportional control
channels.
The ergonomic casing ts comfortably into your hand and allows for easy and safe operation of the model and the
transmitter.
For operation, 4 AA/mignon batteries (e.g. Conrad item no.: 652507, pack of 4, order 1x) are required for the transmit-
ter.
Where no drive or ight controller with BEC switch is used, you need 4 AA/mignon batteries for the receiver (e.g. Con-
rad item no. 652507, pack of 4, order 1x) or 4 AA/mignon rechargeable batteries with the corresponding battery holder.
Alternatively, 4- or 5-cell NiMH receiver batteries (rated voltage 4.8 - 6.0 V) can also be used with the switch cable.

a) General
• The unauthorized conversion and/or modication of the product is inadmissible because of safety and
approval reasons.
• This product is not a toy and not suitable for children under 14 years of age.
• The product must not get damp or wet.
• Taking out private liability insurance is recommended. If you already have one, get some information on
whether or not the operation of a radio-operated model is covered by your insurance.
• Do not connect the drive motor to electric models before the receiver system has been installed com-
pletely. This ensures that the drive motor does not start unintentionally.
• Do not leave packaging material unattended. It may become a dangerous toy for children.

• Please check the functional safety of your model and of the remote control system each time before you
use the model. Watch out for any visible damage such as defective plug connections or damaged cables.
All movable parts on the model have to be running smoothly. However, there must be no tolerance or
'play' in the bearing.
• The operation and handling of remote controlled models must be learned! If you have never controlled
such a model, start especially carefully to get used to how it responds to the remote commands. Do be
patient!
• Should questions arise that are not answered with the help of this operating manual, contact us (contact
information, see chapter 1) or another expert.
b) Operation
• If you do not yet have sufcient knowledge on how to deal with remote-controlled models, please contact
an experienced model sportsman or a model construction club.
• When putting the device into operation, always turn on the transmitter rst. Then switch on the receiver
in the model. Otherwise, the model might show unpredictable responses! Avoid directing the tip of the
aerial directly towards your eyes.
• Before operating the model, check whether the stationary model reacts as expected to the commands
of the remote control.
• When you operate the model, always make sure that no parts of your body, other people or objects come
within the dangerous range of the motors or any other rotating drive parts.
• Improper operation can cause serious damage to people and property! Always make sure that the model
is in your line of sight and do not operate it at night.
• Only operate your model if your ability to respond is unrestricted. Fatigue or the inuence of alcohol or
medication can lead to wrong responses.
• Operate your model in an area where you do nor endanger any persons, animals or objects. Only oper-
ate it on private sites or in places which are specically designated for this purpose.
• In case of a fault stop operating your model straight away and remove the cause of malfunction before
you continue to use the model.
• Do not operate your RC system during thunderstorms, beneath high-voltage power lines or in the prox-
imity of radio masts.
• Never switch off the remote control (transmitter) while the model is in use. To switch off the model, always
switch off the motor rst, then switch off the receiver. Only then may the remote control be switched off.
• Protect the remote control from dampness and heavy dirt.
• Do not expose the remote control to direct sunlight or excessive heat for a long period of time.
• If the batteries in the remote control are low, the range decreases. If the receiver batteries or recharge-
able battery in the receiver are low, the model will not respond correctly to the remote control.
If this is the case, stop driving immediately. Replace the batteries with new ones or recharge the re-
ceiver's rechargeable battery.
• Do not take any risks when operating the product! Your own safety and that of your environment depends
completely on your responsible use of the model.

7. Battery and Rechargeable Battery Notes
Although use of batteries and rechargeable batteries in everyday life is a matter of course today,
there are many dangers and problems. Therefore, always observe the following information and
safety notes in handling of batteries and rechargeable batteries.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being
swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into re. There
is a danger of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin on contact;
therefore, use suitable protective gloves.
• Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are chemically highly aggressive. Objects or sur-
faces that come into contact with them may take severe damage. Therefore, keep batteries/recharge-
able batteries in a suitable location.
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of re and explosion! Charge only rechargeable batter-
ies intended for this; use suitable chargers.
• Always observe correct polarity (positive/+ and negative/-) when inserting the batteries/rechargeable
batteries.
• If the device is not used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries/
rechargeable batteries from the remote control and the car to avoid damage from leaking batteries/
rechargeable batteries.
• Recharge the rechargeable batteries about every 3 months. Otherwise, so-called deep discharge may
result, rendering the rechargeable batteries useless.
• Before using your model, always check the battery or rechargeable battery condition. Replace the at/
used batteries with new ones or recharge the rechargeable batteries completely.
• Always replace the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries. Never mix fully charged batteries/
rechargeable batteries with partially discharged ones. Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of
the same type and manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries!
• For reasons of operational safety, only use batteries and rechargeable batteries for the remote control
transmitter.

8. Charging Rechargeable Batteries
If you use rechargeable batteries for power supply of the receiver, they are usually at at delivery and must be
charged.
Observe:
Before a rechargeable battery reaches maximum capacity, several complete discharge and charge cycles
are necessary.
Always discharge the rechargeable battery at regular intervals, since charging a "half-full" rechargeable
battery several times can cause a so-called lazy battery effect. This means that the rechargeable battery
loses capacity. It no longer provides all of its stored energy, and the operating time of the model is reduced.
If you use several rechargeable batteries, purchasing a high-quality charger may be worthwhile. Such a
charger usually has a quick-charging feature.

10. Setting up the Transmitter
In the further course of these instructions, gures in the text always refer to the adjacent gure or the gures
within the section. References to other gures are indicated with the corresponding gure number.
a) Inserting the Batteries
For the power supply of the transmitter you will need
4 alkaline batteries (e.g. Conrad item no. 652507, pack
of 4, order 1x) of the size AA/mignon.
Proceed as follows to insert the batteries:
The battery compartment lid (1) is located on the back of
the transmitter. Press the corrugated area (2) and push
off the lid downwards.
Ensure that the polarity is correct when inserting the
4 batteries. A corresponding note (3) is located on the
bottom of the battery compartment.
Then slide the lid of the battery compartment back on
from the bottom until the locking mechanism engages.
b) Switching on the Transmitter
When new batteries are inserted, switch on the transmit-
ter with the function switch (see gure 1, item 10) for test
purposes. For this, slide the operating switch from the
bottom (off) to the top (on).
The transmitter emits a short signal sound and the LED
display (also see gure 1, item 9) lights up green per-
manently.
If the voltage supply drops below 5 V, the LED display
switches from green to orange to red and thus indicates
threatening undersupply of the transmitter. The model
should then no longer be operated.
When the voltage drops below 4.2 V, the LED display
starts ashing red and the transmitter emits acoustic
warning sounds at regular intervals. In this case, opera-
tion of the model must be ceased as quickly as possible. Insert new batteries for further operation of the transmitter.
After you have veried the correct function of your transmitter, switch it off again.
