General Care; Maitenance - IKONNIK ET3 Owner's Manual & Technical Information

General Care

• Always use clean, dry cloth or soft bristle brush to clean your equipment.
• Never use chemical cleansers to avoid damage to the sensitive
electronics and plastics.
Maintenance
We want you to enjoy your product to its fullest potential. For this to happen
it is important to keep your product clean and properly maintained. Lack
of cleaning and maintenance can cause component failure. For best and
continued performance from your product it is recommended to briefly
inspect your product for damage every few uses. Typically, a good time to
do this is when changing the battery in your vehicle or while it is charging.
If a problem is discovered, stop use immediately and perform repairs or
seek assistance. Continued use of failed components can cause more
unnecessary damage to your product.
Transmitter
• Although the receiver included with your radio system is rated for all
weather use, the transmitter is not. The transmitter should not be used
in the rain or other wet environment to avoid damage to the sensitive
electronics.
• Clean dirt and debris off of your transmitter regularly to avoid the
consequences of these getting into the sensitive electronics where they
can cause short circuits and/or restrict motion of the internal steering
and throttle mechanisms.
Receiver
Although the receiver included with your radio system is rated for all weather
use, it is recommended that you avoid submersion of the receiver, however
running in puddles, rain, and snow is okay.
CAUTION: ALTHOUGH THE ELECTRONICS ARE PROTECTED FROM THE WEATHER,
THE CONNECTIONS ARE NOT. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WILL CORRODE WHEN
EXPOSED TO MOISTURE WHEN IN USE AND IF LEFT IN A WET CONDITION. IT IS
CRITICAL THAT YOU UNPLUG AND DRY ALL EXPOSED ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
AFTER EACH USE IN WET CONDITIONS TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR EQUIPMENT.
• Inspect any exposed antenna for cuts or abrasions.
• Ensure there are no kinks in the antenna or antenna tube.
