• Therangeofthetransmitterdecreaseswhenthebatteries(orrechargeablebatteries)areweak.Weakrechargeable
batteries in the receiver system prevent powerful operation of the sensor. Before going on a drive, check the charge
condition of the rechargeable batteries or batteries.
Check the receiver power supply before and after every drive. If the voltage is too low, the servos will only show
weak reactions, so that the vehicle will no longer react to the control commands from the transmitter. The receiver
may also show unpredictable responses.
Terminate driving operation at once (switch off motor, switch off receiver power supply, switch off transmitter) if the
reaction of the receiver system is not as desired. Then replace the batteries/rechargeable batteries or recharge
rechargeable batteries.
