A TTENTION! Depending on the model, the light boards might be
screwed tight.
Front light: T o chang e the light boards unscrew the car’s upper
part from the chassis. Unscrew the front axle according to fig.

) and pull up the light
board. Inser t the light board (fig.

), until the catch hook latches
in. Screw in the front axle and fit the cables together according to
their colours.
Rear light : Remov e the cables between the rear light and the car

Maintenance and care
1
2
T o ensure a proper operation of the motor -racing circuit, all race-
track components should be regularly cleaned. Pull the plug prior to
cleaning.
1
Racetrack: Keep the track surface and track slots clean with a
dry cloth. Do not use any solvents or chemicals for cleaning. When
it is not in use, store the racetrack in a clean and dust-protected
location, preferably in the original cardboard bo x.
2
Car check: Clean axle and wheel bearings, pinion gears, gear-
wheels and bearings and lubricat e using a r esin- and acid-free
grease. Y ou can use a toothpick or similar as aid. Regularly check
the condition of sliding contacts and tyres..

Driving tips
T roubleshooting:
In case of any malfunctions, please check the following:
• Has the connection to the power supply been established cor-
rectly?
• Have transformer and speed controllers been connected correctly?
• Are the track connections faultless?
• Are the racetrack and track slots clean and free of any foreign
objects?
• Are the sliding contacts in order and do they make contact with
the track slot?
• Are the cars correctly coded to the according speed controller?
• The track‘s current feed will be switched off automatically for 5
seconds, if there is an electrical short circuit: this will be notified by
audible and visual signals.
• Are the cars placed on the track in running direction? In case of
non-functioning push the running direction switch which is on the
car´s bottom.
• Is the adapter unit correctly installed facing the direction of tra vel?
• Is the speed controller battery properly connected?
• Is the battery fully charged?
• Does the LED on the controller flash while charging?
• Is the speed controller bound to the receiver?
• Has the speed controller got a duplicate address assignment?
Note:
During oper ation small car parts as spoilers or mirrors may get off or
brake due to being original detailed parts of the car model. T o av oid
this it is possible to remov e them before operation.
Driving technique:
• Y ou can drive fast along the straight track but you should brake
before the curve and then accelerate again when coming out of the
curve.
• Do not fasten or block the vehicles when the motor is running:
overheating or damage to the mo tor could result otherwise.
Note: When using track systems which are not manufactured by
Carrera the existing guide keel has to be replaced by the special
guide keel (#85309). While using the Carrera crossing (#20587) or
high banked cur ve 1/30° (#2057 4) slight driving noise might occur
which is due to the full-scale genuineness and does not affect flaw-
less operation.

T ec hnical specifications
Output voltage: T oy transf ormer
18 V 54 V A
Lithium polymer rechargeable battery: 3,7 150mAh
Electricity modes:
1 .) Operating mode = cars are operated via speed controllers
2.) Idle mode = speed controllers not activated, no game
3.) Stand-by mode = after approx. 20 minutes idle mode the
connecting section switches to stand-by mode. LED flashes at
long intervals. CURRENT CONSUMPTION < 0.5 watt / 0.5w
By operating the speed controller the stand-by mode is finished,
the racetrack returns t o idle-mode again.
4.) Off-state = power supply unit disconnected from mains supply

Requirement for FCC Part 1 5
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressl y appro ved
by the part y responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
Note: This equipment has been tes ted and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable prot ection
against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc-
tions, may cause harmful interference to r adio communications.
Howev er, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful inter ference to radio or tele vi-
sion reception, which can be determined by tur ning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to tr y to correct the interference
by one or more of the follo wing measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver,
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.

Guidelines and warnings about using the LiPo battery/
batteries:
LiPo rechargeable batteries are muc h more sensitive than the
traditional alkaline or NiMh rechargeables. F or this reason all in-
structions and warnings must be scrupulously observed. Incorrect
treatment of LiPo rechargeable batteries may cause a fire. In han-
dling, charging and using the LiPo batter y/batteries supplied, you
take ov er all responsibility for the risks attached to lithium batteries.
• Non-rechargeable batteries must not be recharged!
For recharging batteries, only the charging cradle supplied may be
used. If this instruction is disregarded, there is a risk of fire which
may endanger your health and/or cause damage to pr oper ty .
NEVER use any other charging unit!
• Rechargeable batteries ma y only be recharged under adult super-
vision. When charging, never lea ve the battery unattended.
When you r echarge the battery, y ou should alway s be in the vicinity
to keep watch on the process so that you can react to any possible
problem.
• If the batter y swells or deforms during either discharge or charging
process, stop the process immediately . Remov e the batter y as fast
and as carefully as possible and place it on a safe and open area
awa y from any flammable materials, and keep it under observation
for at least 1 5 minutes. If y ou continue to char ge or discharge a bat-
tery which has already s tar ted to swell or deform, there is danger of
fire! Even at the slightest sign of swelling or deforming, the battery
must be taken out of service.
• The battery supplied must be charged in a safe place away from
flammable materials.
• Store the battery at room temperature (1 6 - 1 8 °C) in a dr y place.
Do not expose the batter y to direct sunlight or any other sources of
heat. T emperatures ov er 50 °C are generally to be avoided.
• Always recharge the battery after use to avoid the possibility of its
becoming deep discharged. When it is not in use, recharge the bat-
tery from time to time, say e very 2-3 months. Failure to observe the
methods of handling described abov e may lead to defects.
• When changing batteries do not use any sharp or pointed objects
or tools. Avoid damaging the protective foil around the battery at
all costs.
• When replacing defectiv e batteries, only the recommended batter y
types may be used. Damaged or unusable batteries are hazardous
waste, and must be disposed of accordingly .
• Never throw batteries, rechargeable or otherwise, on the fire or
expose them to high temperatures. This may cause a fire or an
explosion.
• The electrolyte and electrolyte vapour in the LiPo batteries are
hazardous to health. Alwa ys avoid direct contact with electr olyte.
If electrolyte mak es contact with skin, eyes or other parts of the
body , it must immediately be washed out or off with plenty of fresh
water and a doctor mus t be consulted.
• Rechargeable batteries are not toys and must not fall int o the
hands of children. K eep batteries inaccessible to children.
• The connector clips / batter y connections must nev er be short-
circuited!
• The toy is only to be operated with a transformer or power pack
designed for use with toy s!
• The transformer / the power pack is not a to y!
