Reely ROAD EB-04L Operating Instructions Manual page 37

• Don't drive in the rain, through wet grass, water, mud or snow. The model is not waterproof or watertight.
Moisture not only causes corrosion but also damages the electronics. In a LiPo battery, entering moisture
can set the battery on fire or even cause an explosion!
• Avoid driving at very low outdoor temperatures. In cold conditions, the plastic of the car body can loose its elasticity;
in this case small accidents can already lead to damage to the model.
• Do not drive in thunderstorms, don't drive under high-voltage power lines or in the proximity of radio masts.
• As long as the vehicle is in operation you must always leave the transmitter switched on. When parking the vehicle,
always switch off the vehicle's speed controller first and disconnect the driving battery from the speed controller
completely then.
Now you may turn off the transmitter.
• If the batteries (or rechargeable batteries) in the transmitter are weak, their range decreases. Replace the batteries.
When the car's driving battery is weak, the car gets slower or no longer responds correctly to the transmitter.
The driving battery in the vehicle is not only used for supplying the engine though the speed controller. The
speed controller also generates the voltage/current required for operating the receiver and the steering
servo.
For this, the speed controller has an integrated BEC ("Battery Eliminator Circuit").
At a low driving battery voltage, the voltage at the receiver may also drop, which causes the vehicle to no
longer respond to the control commands at the transmitter.
In this case, stop driving at once (switch off speed controller, disconnect driving battery from vehicle, switch off
transmitter). Then replace the vehicle driving battery or recharge the driving battery.
• The motor and drive as well as speed controller and drive battery of the vehicle get hot during operation. Before
each change of a rechargeable battery, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes. Let the driving battery cool down completely
before charging it.
Do not touch the motor, the speed controller or the rechargeable battery until they have cooled down.
Danger of burning!
