5. Maintenance
- After each use, thoroughly dry the submarine to prevent water damage to internal components.
- Store the submarine and remote control in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Regularly check the propellers for any debris or entanglement and clean as necessary to ensure smooth operation.
- Ensure the sealing ring at the interface is intact and waterproof glue seal is not leaking to maintain water resistance.
6. Troubleshooting

- Q: Why is the submarine not working?
A: It has security protection. The submarine cannot be used until it is in the water. If the basin is too small or the water is too shallow, the operation will be less sensitive, and the reaction will need to be pressed for a while. Consider using a larger container and filling it with more water.
- Q: Why do the submarines work intermittently?
A: Firstly, charge it fully. Then, keep the remote control distance not too far from it (within 4m).
- Q: How do I charge?
A: You can use RC or USB charging. If the RC cannot be charged, it may be that the RC battery is dead. You can charge with USB. But the USB must be connected to the computer to recharge. If the plug is directly connected to charge, it will burn out the built-in battery.
