5. Setup
5.1 Charging the Boat Battery
- Connect the Lithium-Ion battery to the provided USB charger.
- Plug the USB charger into a compatible USB power source (e.g., computer, USB wall adapter).
- 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).
- Charging typically takes approximately 2-3 hours. Do not overcharge the battery.
- Once fully charged, disconnect the battery from the charger.
5.2 Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
- Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
- Insert 4 "AA" batteries (not included), ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery compartment securely.
5.3 Installing the Boat Battery
- Carefully remove the top and middle covers of the boat.
- Connect the fully charged Lithium-Ion battery to the boat's power connector.
- Place the battery securely within the battery compartment.
- Ensure all wires are tucked away and do not interfere with the covers.
- 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
- Place the boat in water. The boat's internal sensors require contact with water to activate.
- Turn on the remote control. The indicator light on the remote will flash.
- The remote control will automatically pair with the boat. Once paired, the indicator light on the remote will become solid.
- 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.
