Moving Forwards:
Forward movement is controlled by pushing the throttle control stick on the transmitter (the left-hand stick) forward
to turn on the motor. The throttle is proportional, so motor speed is directly related to control stick position. The further forward you
push the throttle control stick, the faster the boat will go.
Moving Backwards:
Backward movement (reverse) is also controlled by the throttle control stick. When you pull the throttle control
stick back, the motor will turn on in reverse, causing the boat to move backwards.
Right and Left Turns:
Right and left turns are made by moving the steering control stick (the right-hand stick) on the transmitter. When
you move the steering control stick to the right, the rudder moves right, causing the boat to turn right. When you move the steering
control stick to the left, the rudder moves left, causing the boat to turn left. As with the throttle, the steering is proportional, too. The
further you move the steering control stick one way or the other, the quicker and sharper the boat will turn.

BASIC OPERATION
❑
Carefully adjust the two control trim tabs on the transmitter so that they
are centred. If the trim tabs aren't centred, gently slide them into the
centre position using your finger.
CHECkING THE CONTROLS
❑
Turn on the receiver by moving the on/off switch into the "ON" position.
PRO TIP
Always make sure you turn on the transmitter first, before turning on the receiver. After you've finished operating
your boat, turn off the receiver first, then turn off the transmitter. This will prevent stray radio signals from interfering with the radio
control system.
❑
Turn on the transmitter by moving the on/off switch into the "ON" position.
Both LEDs should glow brightly.
IMPORTANT
If the green LED does not glow brightly or if ONLY the red
LED is glowing, replace the transmitter batteries with new, fresh ones.
❑
Replace the hatch cover.
❑
Slide the front edge of the top deck under the two deck retainers, then
push the top deck down and use the two retaining clips to secure it into
place.

PRO TIP
Use tape to seal the hatch cover if conditions are likely to be
adverse so as to further protect the internal electronics.
