Important information

Please note that Exclusiv/Evolution (analog system) and Carrera DIGITAL 124/132 (digital system) involve two separate and completely independent systems. We hereby expressly indicate that both systems must be kept separate when setting up the track, i.e. no connecting rail from Exclusiv/Evolution may be used together with the connecting rail and Black box of the Carrera DIGITAL 124/132, even if only one of the two connecting rails (Exclusiv/Evolution connecting rail or Carrera DIGITAL 124/132 connecting rail and Black Box) is attached to the current supply. Furthermore, no other Carrera DIGITAL 124/132 components (switches, electronic lap counter pit stop) may be built into an Exclusiv/Evolution course, i.e. via analog operation.
Non-compliance with the above information may result in damage or destruction of the respective Carrera DIGITAL 124/132 components. In this case no warranty may be claimed.

Troubleshooting

In case of any malfunctions, please check the following:

Has the connection to the power supply been established correctly?
Have transformer and speed controllers been connected correctly?
Are the track connections faultless?
Are the racetrack and track slots clean and free of any foreign objects?
Are the sliding contacts in order and do they make contact with the track slot?
Are the cars correctly coded to the according speed controller?
The track's current feed will be switched off automatically for 5 seconds, if there is an electrical short circuit: this will be notified by audible any visual signals.
Are the cars placed on the track in running direction? In case of non-functioning push the running direction switch which is on the car's bottom.

Note:
During operation small car parts as spoilers or mirrors may get off or brake due to being original detailed parts of the car model. To avoid this it is possible to remove them before operation.

Driving technique

You can drive fast along the straight track but you should brake before the curve and then accelerate again when coming out of the curve.
Do not fasten or block the vehicles when the motor is running: overheating or damage to the motor could result otherwise.
Note: When using track systems which are not manufactured by Carrera the existing guide keel has to be replaced by the special guide keel (#20085309). While using the Carrera crossing (#20020587) or high banked curve 1/30° (#20020574) slight driving noise might occur which is due to the full-scale genuineness and does not affect flawless operation.
