Safety Precautions - Carson X-18 Serie Manual De Instrucciones

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 which has to be
GB
practised with the necessary caution and respect.
Only a well maintained model will
function in a correct manner.
Never start driving before you have made sure
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.
Always switch on the transmitter first to avoid
any uncontrolled reaction of the receiver to a
foreign radio impulse.
• 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.
• 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 wet grass.
• Run your model in a suitable area, always avoid running radio
controlled models in restricted, confined or populated areas.
• Keep away from roads, highways, people and animals!
• 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.

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 practising
your hobby.
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.
• 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.
To end the operation switch off the receiver
first, then the transmitter.
• Allow cooling time for the engine components before removing
the body shell. These parts become extremely hot during opera-
tion 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 loose control of your model.
• Never use fully loaded batteries and batteries which have already
run low, or batteries of a different capacity at the same time.
• Never charge batteries which are not rechargeable.
If not using the model for a longer time, the
rechargeable battery for driving has to be
removed absolutely.
