First connect the Carrera RC rechargea-
ble battery to the battery charger supplied.
The connection terminals between the bat-
tery and the charger are designed to prevent
connection with the wrong polarity. Connect
the charger to a power source.
When the battery is properly connected and
charging normally, the red LED is constantly
lit. Once the battery is fully charged, the red
LED switches to green. The battery can now
be disconnected and installed in the Carrera
RC car. The car is now ready for use.
Always recharge the battery after use to
prevent its becoming deep discharged.
After use, the battery must be allowed to
cool down for at least 20 minutes before it
can be fully recharged. Failure to observe
thispause may damage the battery. Re-
charge the battery occasionally (suggest-
ed every 2–3 months). Failure to treat the
battery as described above can lead to its
becoming defective.
