Force1 Velocity High-Speed RC Boat

Safety Guidelines

1. Use under adult supervision. Recommended age: 8+ years.
2. Allow the battery to cool before recharging after use.
3. Ensure no humans or animals are in the water while operating to avoid injury. Remove weeds or debris from the water surface to prevent propeller entanglement or damage.
4. Maintain control within the approximate 260 feet (80 meters) remote control distance to avoid losing the boat.
5. Keep body parts away from the high-speed rotating propeller to prevent lacerations or entanglement. Be cautious as the propeller may move when the water sensors are wet, even out of water. Water sensors are located on the top and bottom of the boat.
6. Keep small parts and electrical components out of reach of children.
7. The charger is not a toy. Use only the provided original charger.
8. Charge batteries in a location inaccessible to children, away from flammable materials like beds or carpets.
9. Store batteries out of direct sunlight, at approximately half charge, preferably in a LiPo safe bag (not included).
10. Do not leave charging batteries unattended or overcharge them.
11. Do not reverse polarity or puncture batteries. Keep batteries away from heat sources.
12. Operate the boat only in fresh water or pools without liners, as saltwater can cause erosion and liners may be damaged.
13. Force1RC is not liable for property damage or personal injury.

Maintenance and Care

• When not in use, remove the battery and store it at about half charge in a LiPo safe bag (not included).
• To prevent battery leakage and controller damage, remove transmitter batteries if the boat will not be used for an extended period.
• Protect the boat and transmitter from prolonged sun exposure to prevent damage.
• After use, drain any water from the hull. Dry the boat completely with a cloth and desiccant if available.

Boat Diagram

The boat features a hatch, hatch lock, bilge discharge, display racks, and water sensors.

Transmitter Diagram

The transmitter includes a power LED, alert LED, steering trim controls (L/R Trim, ST. D/R), throttle (forward/reverse), steering rudder, and an on/off switch.

Battery Installation - Transmitter

Open the battery cover on the bottom of the remote, insert 3 x AA batteries in the correct polarity. Remove batteries if the transmitter will not be used for an extended period.

Low Power Alert (Transmitter): If the transmitter beeps once repeatedly and the POWER RED light flashes, replace the transmitter batteries.

Battery Installation - Boat

1. Unlock the switch to open the cabin cover.
2. Install the rechargeable battery and connect it to the boat's power input.
3. Close and secure the cabin cover.

Charging the Battery

• Connect the USB charger to a USB output (computer, power bank, or AC/DC adapter).
• Insert the battery into the black connector of the USB charger.
• Use a power output of 5V 0.5-1A for safe charging.
• Always use the provided USB cable.
• The red light on the USB charger indicates charging status: off while charging, on when complete.

Pair the Transmitter with the Boat

1. Place the boat in water; it will not operate out of water.
2. Turn on the transmitter. It will beep, and the power indicator will change from flashing to solid, indicating successful pairing.

Important Notes:

• Pairing requires the boat to be in water.
• The boat will not function with a low battery.
• Water sensors on the boat (top and bottom) may activate the propeller if wet.

Warning: Keep body parts, clothing, and hair away from propellers. Turn off the transmitter when not in use.

Operation Instruction

1. Forward: Pull the throttle backwards.
2. Backward: Push the throttle forwards.
3. Turn Left: Turn the steering wheel to the left while the boat is moving.
4. Turn Right: Turn the steering wheel to the right while the boat is moving.
5. Left Trim: If the boat veers right, slightly turn the steering to the left until it moves straight.
6. Right Trim: If the boat veers left, slightly turn the steering to the right until it moves straight.
7. Rudder Setting: Adjust the rudder trim switch. Turning left increases the turning radius; turning right decreases it. A too-small turning radius can cause the boat to tip.
8. Capsize Recovery: If the boat capsizes, repeatedly push and pull the throttle backwards and forwards until it rights itself.
9. Dive Mode:
   1. Pull the throttle backwards to move the boat forward.
   2. Push the throttle all the way forward, then press the dive button. The boat will dive for approximately 3-5 seconds before returning to the surface.

Note for Dive Mode: If the boat does not dive, adjust the rudder setting on the remote control to the right and try again.

Low Power Alert (Boat): If the transmitter beeps twice repeatedly and the ALERT LED flashes GREEN, the boat's battery is low. Return the boat immediately and replace or recharge the battery.

Weak Signal Alert: If the transmitter beeps three times repeatedly and the ALERT LED is solid GREEN, the boat is nearing the edge of its range. Steer the boat back within range to maintain control.

Note on Diving: If the boat dives and the transmitter beeps or the green LED illuminates, this is normal behavior and may not occur every time.
