Safety precautions (please keep!)
CAUTION! Not suitable for children under 3 years. A danger of choking exists
due to small parts that might be swallowed! Due to the cable, there is a danger of
strangulation. Please keep these instructions for possible correspondence. We reserve the right
to change colours or make technical changes. Adult help is required to remove the transport
protection. Never lift up the car while the wheels are still turning. Do not allow fingers, hair
or loose clothing to come near the motor or wheels if the unit is switched to "ON". To avoid
unexpected operation, the (rechargeable) batteries need to be removed (if possible) from
the toy while it is not being used. First the transmitter must be switched on, and then the car,
to avoid unexpected operation (subject to change). When switching off, always switch the
car off first and then the transmitter. Use only the specified batteries! Insert the batteries so
that the positive and negative poles are in the correct position! Do not throw used batteries
in the household rubbish - take them to a collection point or dispose of them at a hazardous
waste depot. Flat batteries should be removed from the toy. Do not attempt to charge non-
rechargeable batteries. If the design allows, rechargeable batteries must be removed from the
toy before charging. Rechargeable batteries may only be charged by adults. Do not use different

Safety Precautions Lithium batteries:

1. General: Lithium batteries (accumulators) are energy storage devices with a high energy
density and can present risks. For this reason, particular care is needed when charging,
discharging, storing and handling. Read these instructions very carefully before first using the
battery. Do not fail to take note of the warning notices and instructions for use. Misuse can lead
to risks such as explosion, overheating or fire. Failure to observe the instructions for use leads to
early failure and other defects. The instructions should therefore be kept in a safe place and it is
essential that they are handed over to the second user if the batteries are passed on.
2. Warning notices:
• Avoid short-circuits. A short-circuit may well destroy the product. Cables and connections
must be well insulated.
• It is essential when connecting the battery to ensure that the polarity is correct.
• Original plug connectors and cables may not be cut off or changed - if need be, use an adapter
cable.
• Do not expose the battery to excessive heat or cold or to direct sunlight. Do not throw in the
fire. Do not place the battery in contact with water or other liquids.
• Charge the battery only with charging units intended for the purpose and always use the
balancer connection. It is only by using the balancer connection that optimum charging can be
ensured. If this connection is not used, charging is subject to the risks mentioned above. Before
charging, always first allow the battery to cool to ambient temperature. Never charge while
hot.
• When charging, place the battery on a non-flammable, heat-resistant support. There should
be no flammable or readily ignited objects in the vicinity of the battery.
• During charging or operation, never leave the battery unsupervised.
• Do not fail to keep to the recommended charge/discharge current.
• The battery casing must not be damaged. It is essential to avoid damage by sharp objects
such as knives or the like, from dropping, impact, bending etc. Damaged batteries may no
longer be used.
• Batteries are not toys. They should be kept away from children.
3. Charging instructions: Lithium batteries are charged according to the CC-CV procedure.
CC stands for "constant current", which is applied during the first phase of charging. Once the

types of battery, and do not insert new and used batteries at the same time. Do not
short-circuit the connecting webs. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline,
standard (carbon-zinc) and rechargeable batteries. To ensure optimum operation, we
recommend that only rechargeable or alkaline batteries should be used for the car. Check
the charger for damage at regular intervals. In the event of damage, the charger may not be used
until it has been properly repaired. Only carry out charging in dry rooms and protect the unit
from moisture. We do not accept liability for data loss, damage to software or other damage to
computers or accessories caused by charging the battery. Please do not insert any cables into
plug-in socket connections. The toy may only be connected to class II devices that are marked
with the following symbol:
battery reaches the maximum voltage configured in the charger, it switches to CV (constant
voltage) for the second phase of charging. The battery voltage no longer increases. The charging
current now falls continuously until the battery is fully charged. The maximum charging current
for the battery is 1C (C=nominal capacity of the battery, e.g. for a battery with a nominal capacity
of 2700 mA, the maximum charging current for the battery is 2700 mA (2.7 A)). Never charge
several batteries together from a single charger. Differing states of charge and capacities can
lead to overcharging and destruction.
4. Storage instructions: Lithium batteries should be stored charged to 20-50 % of their
capacity and at a temperature of 15-18 °C. If the cell voltage falls below 3 V, they should be
recharged. Deep discharge and storage when discharged (call voltage <3 V) will render the
battery unusable.
5. General terms of guarantee: There is a legal guarantee for production and material faults
as applicable at the time of dispatch. No liability is accepted for normal wear and tear. This
guarantee does not apply for defects attributable to improper use, inadequate maintenance,
third-party interference or mechanical damage. This applies, in particular, to used batteries
and batteries clearly showing signs of use. Damage and loss of performance due to improper
handling and/or overload are not product faults. Batteries are consumables and subject to a
certain ageing. This is influenced by factors such as the charge/discharge currents, the charging
procedure, the operating and storage temperatures and the state of charge during storage. The
ageing shows itself in, among other things, an irreversible loss of capacity. In the model field,
where batteries are frequently used to supply motors, very high currents can flow from time
to time.
6. Exclusion of liability: Since we are unable to have any control over charge/discharge, handling,
compliance with assembly and operating instructions, battery replacement and its care and
maintenance, Tamiya / Carson can accept no liability for loss, damage or costs incurred. Any claim
for damages that may result from operation, failure or faulty operation or that is in any way related
thereto will therefore be refused. We accept no liability for personal injury or material damage and
their consequences that arise from our delivery.
7. Disposal instructions: Batteries are hazardous waste. Damaged or unusable cells must be
disposed of in the correct manner.
No liability for printing errors, we reserve the right to make changes!
