STEP 2: TURNING ON THE RADIO CONTROL SYSTEM

Always turn on the transmitter before turning on the boat. This will
prevent unwanted radio signals from interfering with the radio control system.
☞
If the green LED does not glow brightly or if ONLY the red LED is glowing, replace the
transmitter batteries with new, fresh ones.
❑
Turn on the boat by moving the on/off switch into the "ON" position.
❑
After turning on the boat, push the rubber hatch cover onto the hull.
PRO TIP
Never run your boat without the rubber hatch cover in place. The rubber hatch cover
prevents water from getting into the hull, which could damage the electronics.
STEP 3: CHECKING THE CONTROLS

✦
You'll want to check the controls until the NiMH battery in the boat no longer has enough power to operate the motor.
This will allow you enough time to become familiar with how the controls react to the inputs from the transmitter control levers and it will
prepare the battery for its first full recharge before use.
❑
While looking from the front of the boat (with the boat upside down),
push the right/left turn lever to the right. The back edge of the rudder
should pivot to the right. This will make the boat turn right.
WARNING
Before testing the motor, make sure that your fingers are not near the
propeller.
❑
With both the transmitter and the boat turned on, push the throttle
lever forward. The propeller will spin at a high rate of speed.
❑
Release the throttle lever and propeller will stop spinning.
☞
The throttle lever can be pulled backwards from center, but this
does nothing. The propeller will not spin in reverse.
