Proceed as follows:
Place the vehicle on an appropriate surface before connecting the drive batteries, so that the wheels can
turn freely.
Switch off the speed controller.
Insert the batteries in the transmitter and switch on the transmitter if this has not been done yet. Check its
function (e.g. operation display of the transmitter).
Put the transmitter trimming for driving into the centre position.
Connect a fully charged drive battery to the speed controller in the correct polarity (either one 6-cell NiMH
drive battery or a 2-cell LiPo drive battery).
Now switch on the speed controller. Wait for a few seconds until the speed controller has completed its self-
test.
If you have connected a LiPo drive battery, check that the undervoltage recognition is switched on (see
chapter 10. b). If this is not the case, switch it on before driving the vehicle. At operation of the vehicle with
an NiMH drive battery, the undervoltage recognition should be switched off to better use the capacity of the
rechargeable battery.
