  2. Plug the USB charger into a compatible USB power source (e.g., computer, USB wall adapter).
  3. The indicator light on the charger will show the charging status. Refer to the charger's specific instructions for light indications (usually red for charging, green for fully charged).
  4. Charging typically takes approximately 2-3 hours. Do not overcharge the battery.
  5. Once fully charged, disconnect the battery from the charger.

5.2 Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

  1. Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
  2. Insert 4 "AA" batteries (not included), ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
  3. Close the battery compartment securely.

5.3 Installing the Boat Battery

  1. Carefully remove the top and middle covers of the boat.
  2. Connect the fully charged Lithium-Ion battery to the boat's power connector.
  3. Place the battery securely within the battery compartment.
  4. Ensure all wires are tucked away and do not interfere with the covers.
  5. Re-install the middle cover, then the top cover, ensuring both are securely latched to maintain the double waterproof seal.

5.4 Pairing the Remote Control with the Boat

  1. Place the boat in water. The boat's internal sensors require contact with water to activate.
  2. Turn on the remote control. The indicator light on the remote will flash.
  3. The remote control will automatically pair with the boat. Once paired, the indicator light on the remote will become solid.
  4. Test the controls (throttle and steering) to ensure proper connection before full operation.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Basic Controls

  • Throttle Trigger: Pull the trigger to move the boat forward. Push the trigger to move the boat backward (reverse).
  • Steering Wheel: Turn the wheel left to steer the boat left, and right to steer the boat right.

6.2 Special Features

  • 2.4Ghz High Speed System: Allows multiple boats to operate simultaneously without interference. Achieves speeds up to 30km/h.
  • Dual-Locking Cover: Provides enhanced water resistance to protect internal components.
  • Auto-Corrects Yaw: The internal navigation rudder design automatically corrects the boat's direction, simplifying control.
  • Capsize Recovery: If the boat flips over, briefly apply reverse throttle, then forward throttle. The motor's torque will help right the boat.
