Section 4: Installing Transmitter Batteries
Parts Needed
8 “AA” Alkaline batteries
Step 1. Remove the JR XR3i transmitter from the foam
packaging.
Step 4. Turn the transmitter on to ensure that the batteries
have been installed correctly. Once you have seen that the
transmitter has power, turn the transmitter off again.
Step 2. Remove the battery access cover from the bottom
of the transmitter and remove the empty battery holder.
Install 8 “AA” batteries into the battery holder. Note the
proper polarity.
Step 3. Reinstall the battery holder in the transmitter and
re-attach the transmitter battery access cover.
Section 5: Installing Receiver Batteries
Parts Needed
4 “AA” Alkaline Batteries
Water-proof tape
Balloon for receiver (optional)
Step 3. Carefully pull the empty receiver battery holder from
the radio box making certain that the switch harness does
not become unplugged from the receiver. Install 4 “AA”
batteries into the battery holder. Note the proper polarity.
Step 5. Re-install the radio box cover and carefully tape
around the edge on all four sides with waterproof tape. This
is very important, as it should properly seal your valuable
electronics from any water in the event that you flip the boat
or take on any water.
Step 6. Turn the transmitter back on. Then, turn the black
switch for the receiver on. Next, give the transmitter rudder
and throttle input to make certain that both function correctly.
Once you are certain that the radio is functioning correctly,
turn the receiver off, and then turn off the transmitter.
If you have any questions with the radio setup, refer to the
radio system instructions or contact the Horizon Service
Center at 1-877-504-0233.
Step 1. Note the radio box below the tuned pipe. Remove the
clear lid of the radio box.
Step 2. Observe the radio location, carefully noting where the
receiver and the receiver battery holder are secured.
Step 4. Carefully reinstall the battery holder back into the
radio box. You may also choose to place the receiver inside a
balloon to better protect it from moisture.
