8. Preparation for use
The "Claymore" model boat is shipped ready for use. Only a few steps are required to set it up. The diagrams in
this manual are provided for reference purposes only. Individual components in the diagrams (e.g. receiver) and the
design of the model may vary.

a) Boat stand
The model boat comes with a plastic boat stand. We recommend that you use the stand when storing the boat and
when carrying out maintenance and repair work. The stand keeps the rudder and propeller off the ground to prevent
them from being damaged.
b) Checking the receiver and receiver antenna
Remove the hull shell. Turn the two latches on the stern by 90°, lift the shell off the back of the boat, and then remove
the front part.

Modern 2.4 GHz remote control systems only require short antenna in the remote control and receiver. The few cen-
timetres of cable that protrude from the receiver function as the antenna.

in place inside the boat. The receiving antenna must be placed as high as possible on the hull.

control may be drastically reduced and you may not be able to control the boat. Check that the receiving
antenna is positioned correctly before each use.
