  3. Insert the Lithium Ion battery, ensuring correct polarity.
  4. Securely close the battery compartment cover to ensure water resistance.

2. Pairing the Remote Control

The Exost Rocketwave uses 2.4 GHz technology for a stable connection.

  1. Ensure both the boat and the remote control have fresh batteries installed.
  2. Turn on the boat's power switch (if applicable).
  3. Turn on the remote control. The indicator light on the remote should blink.
  4. Place the boat in water. The boat's motor will only activate when it detects water, which also initiates the pairing process.
  5. Once paired, the indicator light on the remote control will become solid. You are now ready to operate the boat.

Operating Instructions

Basic Controls:
  • Forward: Push the throttle trigger forward.
  • Backward: Pull the throttle trigger backward. (Note: The boat may not reverse significantly; this function often acts as a brake.)
  • Turn Left/Right: Rotate the steering wheel on the remote control left or right.
Automatic Water Detection:

The Exost Rocketwave is equipped with an automatic water detection system. The motor will only engage when the boat is placed in water. This feature protects the motor and extends its lifespan.

Operating Environment:

This durable RC boat can be driven in rivers, lakes, and outdoor/indoor swimming pools. WARNING: These boats are not suitable for use in sea water.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: After each use, gently wipe down the boat with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure all water is removed from the battery compartment and other sensitive areas.
  • Drying: Allow the boat to air dry completely before storing.
  • Storage: Store the boat and remote control in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries from both the boat and the remote control if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
