c) Speed controller

The speed controller is built into the receiver. It is not possible to con-

gureorprogramthespeedcontroller.

If the speed controller does not receive a signal from the receiver, or

the signal is weak, the motor will switch off completely and the receiver

LEDwillstarttoash.

Figure 6 indicates the connection plug for the steering servo (A). The

plug can only be connected to the remote control in two positions. The

servo connector is plugged in correctly when the brown (or black) cable

is inserted into the "-" (minus) socket (indicated on the receiver).

control) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

After inserting the battery, follow the steps below to test the range of the remote control. Switch on the remote control

and connect the boat battery to the receiver/speed controller. Ask someone to hold the model for you while you walk

away with the remote control.

The remote control should work from a distance of at least 50 m. The maximum range is approximately 100 m.

e) First use

Before using the boat, ensure that the hull shell is attached correctly and locked in place, otherwise it may fall off. In

addition, if the boat capsizes, water may leak into the boat and destroy the motor or remote control parts (or cause the

boat to sink). This will void the warranty.

Avoid sudden steering movements, otherwise the model boat may capsize and you may lose control. If you do not

retrieve the boat quickly, water may leak into the boat and cause it to sink.

For safety reasons, the speed controller features undervoltage protection that constantly checks the voltage of the

battery.Ifthebatteryvoltagedropsbelowaxedthreshold,thespeedcontrollerreducesthepowerofthemotor

by approx. 20%. If this occurs, the battery only has enough power for approximately 30 seconds of travel (approx.

100 - 150 m) to bring the boat back to the edge of the water. The speed controller will switch off the motor when the

battery is empty.

If the motor stops (in order to prevent the battery from overdischarging), you will not be able to control the

boat and retrieve it from the water.

To prevent the battery from overdischarging, bring the boat back to the edge of the water after 7–8 minutes

of use (the battery life may vary depending on the operating temperature, battery type, and how you oper-

ate the boat).

Do not use the model boat in adverse conditions such as strong winds or waves, otherwise you may not be able to

retrieve it from the water.

If you notice any unusual noises or a sudden loss in speed or power, discontinue use immediately and establish the

cause of the problem. In most cases, this is likely to be due to seaweed or other objects that are caught in the propeller

and cause the motor to slow down or stop completely. Discontinue use immediately, otherwise the components may

by damaged due to overheating. This will void the warranty.
