Carrera DIGITAL 124EXCLUSIV

Carrera DIGITAL 124 EXCLUSIV

Please note that Exclusiv (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 may be used together with the connecting rail and
Control Unit of the Carrera DIGITAL 124/132, even if only one of the
two connecting rails (Exclusiv connecting rail or Carrera DIGITAL
124/132 connecting rail and Control Unit) 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 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.

Description

WIRELESS+ is the latest new cordless racetrack delight for Car­rera DIGITAL124 and Carrera DIGITAL 132. The 2.4 GHz radio
technology with frequency-hopping is free of interference and offers
a range of up to 15 metres. Thanks to powerful lithium polymer re­chargeable battery, continuous play for up to eight hours is possible
and stand-by operation for over 80 days. WIRELESS+ in conjunc­tion with DIGITAL 124 offers wireless freedom for up to four drivers
on the racetrack.

Care of the battery

To make sure the battery performs well for as long as possible, the
following points should be observed regarding its care and storage.

•

Before first using them, new batteries should always be charged

fully.

• With a fully-charged battery, continuous play is possible for up
to eight hours. When the battery power is falling off, range of the
speed controller will diminish. As soon as you notice this, the battery
should be fully recharged.

• If it is not to be used for an extended period, remove the battery
and store the controller at room temperature (16-18 °C) in a dry
place. To prevent a deep discharge of the battery, the stored battery
should be charged every 2 to 3 months.

Connecting the receiver

Connect the receiver according to the symbol to either of the two
sockets on the control unit which are marked Tower 1 and Tower 2.
For operating four WIRELESS+ speed controllers only one 2.4 GHz
receiver is required.

Additional wired speed controllers may be plugged into connectors
3 and 4. Please note that these will use address 5 and 6 then.

Using the speed controller extension set 20030348 it has to be
plugged into connector 1. The cars´ addresses will be allocated as
follows:

• Speed controller extension set = address 1, 3 and 4

• connector 2 = address 2

• connector 3 = address 5

• connector 4 = address 6

Note:

a combination of WIRELESS and speed controller extension set is
not possible!
Please note that in DIGITAL 124 the number of cars is restricted
to four.

Charging the speed controllers

Before first being used, the WIRELESS+ speed controllers should
be fully charged. Place the speed controllers in the charging station
and switch on the control unit. While the unit is charging, the LEDs

on the speed controllers will flash. When charging is completed,

Maintenance and care

Technical specifications

Requirement for FCC Part 15

2

To ensure a proper operation of the motor-racing circuit, all race­track components should be regularly cleaned. Pull the plug prior to
cleaning.

1

Racetrack: Keep the track surface and track slots clean with a

dry cloth. Do not use any solvents or chemicals for cleaning. When
it is not in use, store the racetrack in a clean and dust-protected
location, preferably in the original cardboard box.

2

Car check: Clean axle and wheel bearings, pinion gears, gear-

wheels and bearings and lubricate using a resin- and acid-free
grease. You can use a toothpick or similar as aid. Regularly check
the condition of sliding contacts and tyres..

Troubleshooting

Driving tips

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 and 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.

• Is the adapter unit correctly installed facing the direction of travel?

• Is the speed controller battery properly connected?

• Is the battery fully charged?

• Does the LED on the controller flash while charging?

• Is the speed controller bound to the receiver?

• Has the speed controller got a duplicate address assignment?

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.

Warnings

Guidelines and warnings about using the LiPo battery/
batteries:

LiPo rechargeable batteries are much more sensitive than the
traditional alkaline or NiMh rechargeables. For this reason all in­structions and warnings must be scrupulously observed. Incorrect
treatment of LiPo rechargeable batteries may cause a fire. In han­dling, charging and using the LiPo battery/batteries supplied, you
take over all responsibility for the risks attached to lithium batteries.

• Non-rechargeable batteries must not be recharged!
For recharging batteries, only the charging cradle supplied may be
used. If this instruction is disregarded, there is a risk of fire which
may endanger your health and/or cause damage to property.
NEVER use any other charging unit!

• Rechargeable batteries may only be recharged under adult super­vision. When charging, never leave the battery unattended.
When you recharge the battery, you should always be in the vicinity
to keep watch on the process so that you can react to any possible
problem.

• If the battery swells or deforms during either discharge or charging
process, stop the process immediately. Remove the battery as fast
and as carefully as possible and place it on a safe and open area
away from any flammable materials, and keep it under observation
for at least 15 minutes. If you continue to charge or discharge a bat­tery which has already started to swell or deform, there is danger of
fire! Even at the slightest sign of swelling or deforming, the battery
must be taken out of service.

• The battery supplied must be charged in a safe place away from
flammable materials.

• Empty batteries must be removed from the toy.

• Store the battery at room temperature (16 - 18 °C) in a dry place.
Do not expose the battery to direct sunlight or any other sources of
heat. Temperatures over 50 °C are generally to be avoided.

• Always recharge the battery after use to avoid the possibility of its
becoming deep discharged. When it is not in use, recharge the bat­tery from time to time, say every 2-3 months. Failure to observe the
methods of handling described above may lead to defects.

• When changing batteries do not use any sharp or pointed objects
or tools. Avoid damaging the protective foil around the battery at
all costs.

• When replacing defective batteries, only the recommended battery
types may be used. Damaged or unusable batteries are hazardous
waste, and must be disposed of accordingly.

• Never throw batteries, rechargeable or otherwise, on the fire or
expose them to high temperatures. This may cause a fire or an
explosion.

• The electrolyte and electrolyte vapour in the LiPo batteries are
hazardous to health. Always avoid direct contact with electrolyte.
If electrolyte makes contact with skin, eyes or other parts of the
body, it must immediately be washed out or off with plenty of fresh
water and a doctor must be consulted.

• Rechargeable batteries are not toys and must not fall into the
hands of children. Keep batteries inaccessible to children.

• The connector clips / battery connections must never be short­circuited!

• The toy is only to be operated with a transformer or power pack
designed for use with toys!

• The transformer / the power pack is not a toy!
