Remote control system

The invention relates to a remote control system wherein a plurality of remote control devices and remote control receivers may be operating simultaneously. A remote control device comprises a connect switch for establishing a link between the remote control device and a remote control receiver. The remote control device further comprises a transmitter, an address register, and a processing device. The processing device is arranged for upon activation by the connect switch to enter a connect state wherein connect type data packets, containing an address stored in the address register, are transmitted from the remote control device. A corresponding connect function may simultaneously be effected in a remote control receiver, establishing a functional link between the remote control device and the remote control receiver. The invention may advantageously be used for remotely controlling playing or amusement equipment, such as controllable toys and model vehicles.
