is, both analog vehicles fitted with NiMH rechargeable batteries and digital
vehicles with Li-Ion or NiMH rechargeable batteries.
NOTE:
Start the charging procedure of an analog vehicle with »Car 1«.
Start the charging procedure of a digital vehicle with »Car 2«.
TIP
For further information on the various types of rechargeable batte-
ries and the care and handling they require, see Chapter 8 "Interes-
ting facts", page 38.
Charging analog vehicles
ADVICE:
The charging procedure may last up to ten hours.
Reversing the polarity on analog vehicles is not possible as both exter-
nal pins of the plug feature the same polarity.
Whenever a LED quickly flashes while the charging unit is in operation,
this is a fault message. To remedy the fault, see Chapter 7 "How to deal
with problems", page 36.
If the rechargeable battery heats up to a temperature higher than that of
the hand during the charging procedure, immediately interrupt the pro-
cedure and send the vehicle to FALLER's customer service department.
