Otherwise, the operating range may become shorter. not perform the linking procedure when motor's main wire is connected is Do operating as it may result in serious injury. the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check if the receiver to While be linked is really under the control of the transmitter to be linked. use R214GF-E under 7.4V NiCd/NiMH battery or regulated output from your Always ESC. Using dry cell batteries may cause malfunction. Be sure that when using an ESC's regulated output, the capacity of the ESC meets your usage condition. order to maintain complete control of your car it is important that it remains Invisible at all times. Running behind large objects is not suggested. Doing so may result in the reduction of the quality of the radio frequency link to the model. 4 Operation Precautions  WARNING using a NiCd/NiMH battery to power your system, always charge and check When the battery voltage prior to operation. Should the battery discharge below the minimum voltage level, control will be lost. Prior to operation always perform a range test. Even one abnormality in the R/C system may cause loss of control.

Should you lose sight of the model, a Do collision or other dangerous situation may occur. not operate near people or roads. Do Do not operate near high tension power lines or communication broadcasting an- tennas. Prior to the operation of any model be sure the area you plan to use is safe. Be aware of all objects that may be in the path of your model. Do not operate the model where people or any type of moveable object could stray in the path of your model. Control loss due to interference, component failure, loss of sight or low battery voltage could result in serious injury to yourself and others as well as damage to your model. not operate when you are tired, not feeling well or under the influence of Do alcohol or drugs. Your judgment is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may cause serious injury to yourself and others. on the power switches) (Turning Always check the throttle stick on the transmitter to be sure it is at the neutral position. 1. Turn on the transmitter power switch. 2. Turn on the receiver or speed control power switch. (Turning off the power switches) Always be sure the motor is stopped. 1. Turn off the receiver or speed control power switch. 2. Then turn off the transmitter power switch. If the power switches are turned off in the opposite order the model may unexpectedly run out of control and cause a very dangerous situation. 5 all adjustments to the radio control system with the electric motor Make disconnected. If the motor is connected while adjustments are made, the model may run out of control. the main battery source from electric powered models when they are not Remove being used. Should you accidentally leave the receiver switch on, the model could run out of control.  CAUTION not touch the motor, speed control or any part of the model that will generate Do heat while running. Touching hot parts will result in serious burns. the charger is not in use, disconnect it from the outlet. This will prevent When accidents, overheating and short circuits. Storage and Disposal Safety Precautions  WARNING the end of a day's operation, store the system with NiCd/NiMH battery Atdischarged. Be sure to recharge the system before it is used again. You should fully discharge your system's batteries periodically to prevent a condition called "memory". For example, if you only make two runs in a day or you regularly use a small amount of battery's capacity, the memory effect can reduce the actual capacity even if the battery is charged for the recommended amount of time. not throw a NiCd/NiMH battery into a fire. Do not disassemble or attempt to Do repair a NiCd/NiMH battery pack. Overheating, damage and acid leakage may lead to burns, loss of eye sight as well as numerous other types of injuries. The electrolyte in NiCd/NiMH batteries is a strong alkali. Should you get even the smallest amount of the electrolyte in your eyes, Do Not rub. Wash immediately with water, and seek medical attention at once. The electrolyte can cause blindness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water immediately. not leave the radio system or models within the reach of small children. Do A small child may accidentally operate the system. This could cause a dangerous situation and injuries. NiCd/NiMH batteries can be very dangerous when mishandled and cause chemical damage. 6  CAUTION not store your R/C system where it will be exposed to the following conditions. Do • Extreme heat or coldness • Exposed to direct sunlight • Where humidity is high • Where vibration is prevalent • Where dust is prevalent • Where there is steam and condensation Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions could cause deformation and numerous other problems with operation. system will not be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries from Ifthethemodel and store in a cool, dry place.

If, for example, the electronic speed controller come loose while the model runs, and touches aluminum chassis, a short circuit may occur and it cause irreparable damage to the system as well as loss of control. suppression capacitors should be installed on almost all motors. Noise If the proper capacitors are not installed, high frequency noise will reduce range and cause loss of control along with various other problems. all linkage installations and any point where metal could come in contact Inspect with other metal parts. Make sure these parts do not touch other metal parts under vibration. Should a linkage or other metal parts come in contact with other metal parts under vibration, the high frequency noise generated by this contact will cause interference and possible loss of control.  CAUTION not disassemble any part of this system that is not specified in the instruction Do manual.

(Brake operation only) MC231CR (Pushbutton switch operation) (Power switch) 1 Reverse function cancellation While pressing the pushbutton switch, ON set the power switch to ON. * When desired, you can enable the cancelled reverse function by repeating the operation shown at the left. (The reverse function is switched alternately.) BRAKE/REVERSE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Operation can be switched to reverse operation by returning the throttle stick from the brake position to the neutral position. PROTECTION CIRCUIT OPERATION The following protection circuits are built into the MC231CR. When a protection circuit operates, remove the cause before operating the model again. When an overcurrent flows due to an output short circuit, etc., the overcurrent protection circuit automatically limits the current to protect the FET. Overcurrent protection Remove the cause of the short circuit, etc. before operating the model again. When abnormal heating of the FET due to an overload, etc. is detected, the heat protector operates so that the speed is gradually reduced. When the FET temperature drops, the heat protector automatically resets. However, remove the cause of the overheating before operating the model again. Heat protector When the NiCd/NiMH battery voltage drops, this function limits the motor output current and ensures steering operation. Low voltage operation After the speed drops, immediately recover the vehicle. CHECKER LED DISPLAY The amp operates linearly in proportion to the amount of forward, reverse, and brake operation. The amp operating state can be checked with the checker LED as shown below. Operation Checker LED display (Reverse operation set) Single blink (Single confirmation beep) Amp power ON (Only brake operation set) Double blink (Two confirmation beeps) High point Forward Neutral point On On Brake MAX point Off When the transmitter power was turned off first. * Confirmation beep only sounds when the motor was connected. *Becomes brighter nearer the high point.
