Do not take any risks when retrieving the model boat. Watch out for currents and other boat traffic in
the body of water. If necessary, use an aid to retrieve the model boat from the water (e.g. rowing boat).
Never attempt to retrieve the model boat alone, always engage an assistant who can observe what is
happening around and call for help in an emergency.
•
Never point the transmitter antenna directly onto the model. This makes the signal transmission to the
model a lot worse. You should hold the transmitter so that the transmitter antenna points upwards as
much as possible.
• The motor, speed controller and drive battery can become hot during model operation. For this reason,
wait 5 to 10 minutes before recharging the drive battery or restarting the model with a spare rechargeable
battery. Let the drive motor and speed controller cool down to the ambient temperature.
•
Always keep the remote control (transmitter) turned on when the model is in use. Always disconnect the
drive battery from the model after use. Only then may the transmitter be switched off.
•
In the event of a defect or malfunction, be sure to eliminate the cause of the fault before resuming opera-
tion of the model.
•
Do not expose the model or the remote control to direct sunlight or excessive heat for prolonged periods.
•
If the running performance decreases, head for the bank immediately. Otherwise there is a risk that the
boat with an empty drive battery will drift uncontrollably on the water and get lost.
