The light switches into running light
mode and starts to look for participants.
Now switch on the previously programmed
controller and the display switches auto-
matically into RACE mode. Any other con-
troller within range will now log on automati-
cally, so make sure that when you switch on
the first controller, there are no other con-
trollers switched on. Now all the other com-
petitors in the race can switch on their con-
trollers. Check the number of participants.
