Setup
- Battery Installation:
- Locate the battery compartment in the middle of the hull.
- Insert the specified lithium battery (e.g., 5200mAh, 12000mAh, etc.) into the compartment.
- Ensure the battery is securely connected and the compartment cover is tightly sealed to prevent water entry.
- Charging the Battery:
- Use the provided charger to charge the boat's battery.
- Connect the charger to the battery and a power source. The charging indicator will show the charging status.
- Charge until the indicator shows the battery is full.
- Antenna Attachment:
- Attach the antenna to the designated port on the bait boat.
- Attach the antenna to the remote control. Ensure both are firmly secured for optimal signal transmission.
- Initial Power On:
- First, power on the remote control.
- Next, power on the bait boat. The boat will emit a sound or light indication to confirm connection.
Operating Instructions
1. Basic Operation
- Power On/Off: Always power on the remote control first, then the boat. When finished, power off the boat first, then the remote control.
- Movement: Use the 360° Directional Rod on the remote control to steer the boat forward, backward, left, and right.
- Bait Release: Fill the bait hoppers with your desired bait (e.g., mixed eribium material, eribium particles, corn kernels). Press the 'Bait Hopper' button on the remote control to open and release bait from the hoppers.

2. Advanced Features (GPS & Automation)
- GPS Positioning: The GPS module allows you to set two key location points:
- Fishing Origin: Your starting point on the shore.
- Fishing Spot Location: A specific point in the water where you want to deliver bait.
- One-Key Return: Press the designated button on the remote control to initiate an automatic return to the 'Fishing Origin' point.
- Automatic Return on Signal Loss/Low Battery: If the remote control signal is lost or the boat's battery reaches a critically low level, the boat will automatically return to its 'Fishing Origin'.
- Constant Speed Cruise: Activate this feature to allow the boat to travel at a steady speed in a straight line, freeing your hands.
- Night Fishing Lights: Utilize the boat's LED navigation lights for clear positioning and visibility during night fishing.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, especially in saltwater, rinse the boat thoroughly with fresh water. Wipe down all surfaces and ensure no debris is lodged in the propellers or moving parts.
- Drying: Allow the boat to dry completely before storage. Open battery compartments and hoppers to facilitate drying.
- Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not leave batteries fully discharged for extended periods, as this can reduce their lifespan. Charge batteries periodically if not in use.
- Propeller Inspection: Regularly inspect the propellers for any fishing line, weeds, or other debris that could hinder performance or cause damage. Remove any obstructions carefully.
- Storage: Store the bait boat in a dry, shaded area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Boat not responding to remote control | Low battery in boat or remote; Out of range; Signal interference; Incorrect power-on sequence. | Charge batteries for both boat and remote. Bring the boat closer to the remote. Ensure remote is powered on before the boat. Avoid areas with strong electromagnetic interference. |
| Boat not moving straight | Propeller entangled with debris; Strong currents; Gyroscope malfunction. | Check and clear propellers. Operate in calmer waters if possible. If the issue persists, contact support. |
| Low battery warning (remote beeps, boat light flashes) | Boat battery is low. | Immediately recall the boat to shore and replace or recharge the battery. The boat will automatically return to origin if power reaches the lowest level. |
| Boat loses connection and returns automatically | Environmental signal instability; Remote control powered off. | This is a safety feature. Ensure remote control remains powered on and within range. If signal instability is frequent, try a different operating location. |
| Bait hopper not opening/closing | Bait obstruction; Mechanical issue. | Check for any bait blocking the hopper mechanism. Ensure hopper springs are correctly installed. |

User Tips
- GPS Point Saving: The remote control allows you to save two distinct GPS points: a 'Fishing Origin' (your shore starting point) and a 'Fishing Spot Location' (your target bait drop-off point). Utilize these for precise and repeatable baiting.
- Stable Course: Thanks to its gyroscope stability technology, the boat is designed to maintain its course without deviation, even in choppy water. Trust the automatic course correction.
- Night Visibility: Consider using the optional T1 night navigation light for enhanced visibility and easier determination of the boat's bow and stern when operating at longer distances or in low-light conditions.
- Battery Management: If you have a two-battery set, remember that the second battery is a spare. Only one battery can be used at a time. Always monitor the remote control's LCD screen for low battery warnings and recall the boat promptly to avoid losing control.
