mely safe from interference, it is never
possible to exclude loss of quali-
ty in the radio signal completely
11
due to circumstances in the
room and other radio systems.
A less than optimal radio signal can lead to a reduc-
tion in range.

©
ly and make them aware of possible dangers.
Please remember that the instinctive need to play
©
and disposition of children may lead to unpredicta-
ble situations which the manufacturer shall not be li-
able for.

©
test possible extent when the model is used as inten-
ded, children should be supervised during play.
Only use dry and dust-free cleaning cloths when cle-
©
aning and maintaining the model and remote control
module.
Please take care that the model is never picked up
©
from the floor while the tractor wheels are still tur-
ning.

Before starting for the first time, charge the
battery.
Only adults may charge the storage batteries.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
Protect the batteries against dirt and moisture. Please
clean the contacts with a dry cloth at regular intervals
or when dirty. Whenever the storage batteries are not
in use, the power switch should be in the "OFF" posi-
tion. The storage battery contacts must not be
short-circuited.circuited.
1. Move the power switch on the storage battery
into the "OFF" position.
2. Carefully take the battery out of the respective
vehicle.
3. Insert only SIKU-LiPo-battery (6702 = 200 mAh) in-
to the battery charging compartment in the charger.
(The battery can only be charged one after another).
4. Connect the power supply unit and the battery
charger together and insert the power supply plug
into the socket (230 V). Only use the original
SIKUCONTROL32
power supply unit.
Supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
5. When the red lamp lights up on the battery char-
ger, set the power switch on the battery to "ON".
During the charging process (approx. 70 minutes
depending on the type of battery) the green
indicator light will flash. If the green indicator light
flickers, the battery is completely drained. This flic-
kering changes to flashing during the charging
process. You will know that the charging process is
over when the green indicator light is constant.
6. Set the power switch on the battery to the "OFF"
position. Disconnect the power supply unit from the
socket.
7. Take the battery out of the battery charger and
put them into the vehicle again carefully.
General note:
After approx. 500 charging cycles the bat-
tery capacity is reduced by approx. 20 %. Replacement stora-
ge battery are available under article no. 6702.
If during operation the model starts to flash quickly 5
times in sequence at intervals of approx. 2 seconds, it
can only be driven for a maximum of another
3minutes. The battery will then be drained and will
have to be recharged.
The system start
The
SIKUCONTROL32
radio technology used in these
models is equipped with an automatic connection set-
up. It is no longer necessary to select channels, as was
the case with the various other products. The remote-
control module and the models form connections auto-
matically and are resistant to interference from other
SIKU models operating in the area or devices with ot-
her radio technology (e.g. WLAN or Bluetooth).
In the interest of a better overview and simpler opera-
tion the current and future models are divided into
three (3) different levels:
– Level A: trucks / machinery
– Level B: trailers / low loaders / devices
– Level C: stationary systems
The LED displays for these three levels, marked A, B,
and C, can be seen on the remote-control module. As
soon as the remote control and the model are connec-
ted together, the model is stored inside the correspon-
ding level in the remote-control module for the rest of
the playing session. The corresponding key light is on
constantly.
This assignment which is conducted as part of the
system start-up at the beginning of every new play
session requires a differentiation as to whether you are
playing with the model(s) on your own or if several
people are playing simultaneously with more than
one of these models.
If you wish to play on your own with one or more mo-
dels, please, please follow the
a) instructions.
If you wish to operate more than one model with mo-
re than one person simultaneously, please follow the
b) instructions.
a) One player
1. Switch on the model. To do so, move the on and
off switch on the storage battery on the truck
from the "OFF" to the "ON" position. The model
flashes and this indicates readiness for operation.
2. Switch on the remote-control module by pressing
the red SIKU logo. The logo lights up red. The re-
mote-control module is ready for operation.
NOTE: It is essential to keep to the sequence of
first the model and then the remote-control module.
3. The connection is now established between the
model and the remote-control module. This process
can take up to five (5) seconds.
4. The connection between the remote control and the
model has been established if the key lights for le-
vel A (for tractor) and the headlights at the front
and the tail lights at the rear of the model are on
constantly. The model is stored in the remote-
control module and ready for operation. For the
rest of this play session the model can only be ope-
rated with this remote-control module.
5. It is now possible to start playing.
NOTE: Turning the remote-control module off (by
keeping the "ON/OFF" key pressed down for 3–4 se-
conds) ends the connection to the model. The model is
then deleted from the internal memory. The next time
the system is started, the connection set-up described
in the above must be run through again starting with
step 1.
b) Several players – several models
Before starting a play session with several players
and several models, the individual players' systems
must be started up. To ensure that the remote-con-
trol modules find only the models of the respective
individual player, the individual players must start their
systems separately from each other and one after
the other. The procedure at the start is then the same as
that described under a).
Example: 4 people would like to
12
play with 4
SIKUCONTROL32
mo-
dels (tractors) in a room together.
