• Do not use your boat near devices with transmitters
using the same frequency (27 or 49 MHz).
• Running your boat continuously for long periods
generates high heat levels, which cause wear and tear
on the motor. To help keep heat levels down, let the
User's Guide boat cool at least 25 minutes before installing a fresh
battery pack.
• Keep your boat away from grass and debris that could
cause propeller damage.
• If your boat does not respond, drives slowly, or the
range reduces, recharge your battery pack.
• If your boat doesn't respond after recharging, replace
the transmitter battery and check for propeller debris.
Direct Alignment
If you can not drive the boat forward in a
straight line, you can adjust the switch to left
or right to adjust the boat forward.

safety information
sailing your boat
This vessel sails at high speeds. Avoid
using it where people are swimming.
Caution: Immediately after recharging, the
boat runs at a higher speed than normal,
which can cause your boat to capsize
on choppy water. Maneuver your boat
carefully immediately after replacing the
battery.

the supplied antenna tube. Then, insert
the tube into the antenna tube holder.

either lever.
• Your transmitter is not waterproof. Do
not submerge it in water.
• The boat decreases its speed when
turning to make sharper turns.
• When you finish playing, remove your
boat from the water and shake excess
water from your boat through the two
drain holes.
• If your boat slows down due to loss of battery power,
guide it to shore immediately so it won't drift away.
• If your boat goes outside the transmitter's range, it
stops. Hold your transmitter high above your head to
re-establish contact. If this doesn't work, move closer
and try again. Do not wade into deep water.
• Never touch the propellers while they are spinning.
• Children must be supervised by adults when playing
with toys around water.
• Do not operate the transmitter with the battery
compartment open. The cooling fan in the boat starts
when you operate the transmitter.
