Just Set Up A Carrera Set, Small Hiccup

[rocket3]

Hello all

I joined this forum in 2011 and I think this is my first post, taken me that long to actually purchase a set. Got a Carrera 1/32 digital from Germany. It was over a hundred dollars cheaper even with shipping. I set it up this evening and plugged it in, everything fired up, beeps and led lights. Controllers charging nicely then it just stopped as if the power were turned off, which of course it wasn't. I unplugged it from the extension lead I was using and plugged it directly into the wall and it fired up again.. for a while and then shut down again. Now this set is from Germany and has the EU plug, Ive just used an adapter to make it Aust three pin, the set runs fine on 240 volts so what gives? could it be the adapter? I know this is the risk one takes when buying overseas, I cant just take it back to the store. Any ideas???

Thanks )

Guess no one knew... just a nube mistake, the whole unit goes into stand by mode after twenty minutes, just have to switch it on and off again and it all fires up

That's an interesting feature...

 

Thanks for posting up the fix too...

That way, anyone else in the same situation will be able to find it...
