Operating Instructions
1. Powering On and Pairing
- Place the boat in the water. The boat's power system activates only when in contact with water.
- Turn on the remote control by pressing the power button.
- The remote control and boat will automatically pair. A successful pairing is usually indicated by a solid light on the remote.
2. Basic Controls
- Throttle Trigger: Pull the trigger to move the boat forward. Push it forward to engage the reverse function.
- Steering Wheel: Turn the wheel left or right to steer the boat.
- Speed Switch: Adjust the speed settings on the remote control for different performance levels.
- Steering Trim: Use the steering trim dial to fine-tune the boat's straight-line tracking if it drifts left or right.

3. Reverse Function and Anti-Flip Design
The boat is equipped with a reverse-functional ESC and an anti-flip hull design. If the boat encounters an obstacle or capsizes, simply use the reverse function to maneuver it back to the correct route or press the flip button on the remote to self-right the boat.

4. Low Battery Protection
When the battery voltage is low, the boat's speed will automatically reduce to approximately 30% of its usual speed. This feature ensures you have enough power to safely return the boat to shore before the battery completely drains.

5. Recommended Operating Environment
The AtomicXS RC Boat is suitable for use in pools, lakes, and rivers. Avoid operating in large waves or extremely choppy water to prevent damage or loss of control. The 2.4GHz radio controller allows multiple RC boats to race together simultaneously without signal interference.

Maintenance
1. After Each Use
- Always turn off the boat and remote control after use.
- Remove the battery from the boat to prevent over-discharge.
- Wipe down the boat with a soft, dry cloth to remove any water or debris.
- Ensure the boat's interior is dry before storage to prevent corrosion.
- Store the boat and remote control in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
2. Water-Cooling System
The boat features a water-cooling system to keep the motor and electronics at optimal temperatures during operation. Ensure the water intake and outlet are clear of debris before and after each use.

3. Propeller and Rudder Inspection
- Regularly inspect the propeller for any damage or entanglement with weeds/fishing lines. Replace the propeller with the spare one if necessary.
- Check the rudder for free movement and ensure it is securely attached.
- The boat's components are interchangeable, allowing for easy replacement of damaged parts.
