5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Basic Movement
- Use the 360° Directional Rod on the remote control (Figure 3.2) to steer the boat forward, backward, left, and right.
5.2. GPS Positioning and Auto-Return
The D26 features a GPS positioning module for precise navigation and auto-return functions.
- **Setting Fishing Origin (Shore):** At your desired starting point on the shore, press the 'Origin Location' button on the remote (Figure 3.2) to save this as your home point.
- **Setting Fishing Spot Location:** Drive the boat to your desired fishing spot. Press the 'Fishing Spot Location' button on the remote (Figure 3.2) to save this coordinate.
- **One-Key Return:** To return the boat to the 'Fishing Origin', press the 'Origin Location' button again. The boat will automatically navigate back.
- **Automatic Return:** The boat is equipped with an automatic return function that activates upon loss of signal or low battery, guiding it back to the set 'Fishing Origin'.
5.3. Bait Delivery
- Fill the single bait hopper with your desired bait (e.g., mixed eribium material, eribium particles, corn kernels). The hopper has a high capacity suitable for various baits.
- Once the boat is at the desired location, press the 'Bait Hopper' button on the remote control (Figure 3.2) to release the bait.
5.4. Night Navigation Lights
- Press the 'Lights' button on the remote control (Figure 3.2) to turn on/off the two navigation lights and position lights. These lights make it easy to locate the boat at night or in foggy conditions.
5.5. Constant Speed Cruise
- Engage the constant speed cruise system to maintain a steady course and free your hands during operation. Refer to the remote control diagram (Figure 3.2) for the specific button or combination to activate this feature.
5.6. Gyroscope Stability Technology
- The boat is equipped with gyroscope stability technology for automatic course correction, ensuring it maintains its course without deviation, even in light currents.
6. Maintenance
6.1. Cleaning
- After each use, wipe down the boat with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dirt, debris, or water residue.
- Ensure the bait hopper is clean and free of any leftover bait.
6.2. Propeller Care
- Regularly check the dual three-blade propellers and anti-wrap baffles for any fishing lines, weeds, or other debris that could hinder performance. Clean as necessary.
6.3. Waterproofing
- Always ensure the battery compartment and any other access points are securely closed and sealed before placing the boat in water. The boat features a fully sealed waterproof structure, but proper closure is essential.
6.4. Battery Care and Storage
- Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- For long-term storage, it is recommended to charge the boat battery to about 50-60% capacity.
- Do not overcharge or completely discharge the batteries.
7. Troubleshooting
- **Boat not responding to remote:**
- Check if both the boat and remote control are powered on.
- Ensure batteries in both devices are sufficiently charged.
- Verify that the boat is within the 500m remote control range.
- Re-pair the remote and boat if necessary (refer to setup instructions or contact support).
- **GPS not working accurately:**
- Ensure the boat has a clear view of the sky for optimal satellite reception.
- Avoid operating near tall buildings or dense foliage that may obstruct GPS signals.
- **Boat drifting off course:**
- The gyroscope stability technology provides automatic course correction. If drifting persists, check for strong currents or potential propeller issues.
- **Bait not releasing:**
- Check the bait hopper mechanism for any obstructions or blockages.
- Ensure the bait is not too sticky or clumped together.
