Warning!
If 2 drive batteries are used in series, the engine sound simulator must be fitted to the connector
of the negative lead of the drive controller.
VOLUME SETTING
Important!!!
The sound simulator is basically intended for operation with 2-3 cell LiPo or 5-9 cell NiMh batte-
ries. Batteries with a greater number of cells or higher voltage may be used. However, in this case
it must be noted that the volume control may only be used up to level 5 !!!!
· Activate sound simulator by briefly operating the accelerator lever
· The simulator has 8 volume levels
· Button "+" increase volume
· Button "+" reduce volume
Important:
The simulator has electronic temperature monitoring. If too much heat builds up, the volume is
too loud or there is not enough cooling, the equipment will shut off.
