Operating Instructions
1. Powering On
- Ensure the boat's battery is connected and the compartment is sealed.
- Turn on the power switch on the boat.
- Turn on the power switch on the remote controller. The indicator light on the remote will flash.
2. Pairing the Remote Controller
Place the boat in water. The propeller will not spin out of water as a safety feature. Once in water, the boat and remote controller should automatically pair. The indicator light on the remote will become solid when successfully paired.
3. Basic Controls

If the boat capsizes during operation, the built-in tumbler function will automatically attempt to self-right the boat. Continue to operate the remote control to assist if necessary.
5. Low Battery Alert
When the boat's battery is low, the remote controller will emit an alert signal. This indicates that it's time to bring the boat back to shore for recharging to avoid unexpected power loss.
