OPERATING
POWER SWITCH
There are 2 main power switch located on the bottom of the
front flange. From the bottom view, the right switch is to control
the main battery power for all the electric devices. The left
switch is prepared for the CCD system that when a CCD
device installed.
PREPARATION
Please follow the following procedures to do the preparation.
1) Check that no water is inside the hull. If some water is inside, the submarine shouldn't be used until you
discover the cause of the problem and solve it.
2) Close the front cap and tighten the nuts (sequence: each after the opposite). After locking, the front O-Ring
should appear uniformly flattened against the cap.
3) Place the front nose in position
4) Switch on the transmitter and check TX battery status.
5) Switch on the submarine. Keep the submarine onto the table and check the following functions:
Check throttle: move left stick up/down and verify that full forward and reverse speed is reached. In centre
position (idle) the propeller should not move. Correct TX trim if necessary
Check pump: move left stick right and left and verify that the pump starts running and inflates or empties
the bag. You may hear the noise of the motor and also feel the pump action by placing a finger at the water
intake. NOTE: Pump action is on-off and it's normal that it is not proportional. However, be sure that the
centre idle position of the stick is equally far from left and right working position. Trim if necessary
Check dive planes (right stick up/down). Verify that stick neutral position corresponds to horizontal dive
planes. Trim if necessary
Check rudder (right stick left right). Verify that stick neutral position corresponds to straight rudder. Trim if
necessary
Switch off RX and TX and carry the model at the waterside.
PRE-LAUNCH CHECK
Switch on the transmitter. Check again TX battery status.
Switch on the receiver (main switch). Check no interference from any other RC transmitter
If the submarine doesn't switch on, check the fuse and replace if necessary (NOTE: if the fuse is burnt again,
then should be a short circuit inside. Don't use the model. Open it and search for any electrical problem)
Check that the front nose is perfectly installed. If it isn't, any hit during the launch will cause it to fall down into
the water. It will sink, being heavier that the water. Therefore, pay much attention.
If the camera is not used, check that the cap of the cable connector is tightened. If the camera is used, see
"Camera operation" paragraph.
Start the pump and empty the bag (left stick to left), until the bag is totally emptied. This will be shown by the
changed noise and the absence of air coming out from the water intake.
