• Forward/Backward: Use the throttle trigger on the remote control to move the boat forward or backward.

5.3 Auto-Flip Function

If the boat capsizes during operation, you can use the auto-flip function to right it. To activate, quickly turn the rudder and accelerate forward. The boat should automatically flip back to its upright position.

5.4 Low Battery Warning

The remote control will emit an audible alarm when the boat's battery is low. When this occurs, immediately return the boat to shore to prevent it from running out of power in the water. Continuing to operate with a low battery can damage the battery.

5.5 Night Navigation Light

The boat is equipped with a night navigation light. Use the Hull Lighting Control switch on the remote control to turn this feature on or off for visibility in low-light conditions.

6. Maintenance

• After Each Use: Remove the boat from the water, open the battery compartment, and drain any accumulated water. Wipe the boat dry with a soft cloth.
• Battery Care: Always disconnect the battery from the boat after use. Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Do not overcharge or over-discharge the battery.
• Propeller Inspection: Regularly check the propeller for any debris (e.g., algae, fishing line) and remove it carefully to ensure optimal performance.
• Storage: When not in use, store the boat on its included stand in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight. Remove batteries from both the boat and the remote control if storing for extended periods.
