    ASSEMBLING YOuR MARLIN EP RTR INSTALLING THE TRANSMITTER ANTENNA AND 'AA' BATTERIES ❑ Push the antenna down into the moulded hole in the top of the transmitter. ❑ Screw the antenna (clockwise) into place and tighten it gently until it stops. IMPORTANT Do not force the antenna into place or over-tighten it.
  • Page 7 BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE NI-CD BATTERY, YOU'LL NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT BOTH THE TRANSMITTER AND THE RECEIvER ARE TURNED OFF. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT THE MOTOR DOESN'T TURN ON BY ACCIDENT WHEN YOU PLUG IN THE NI-CD BATTERY. ❑ Check to ensure that the transmitter on/off switch is in the "OFF" position.

  • Page 8: Setting Up Your Marlin Ep Rtr

    SETTING uP YOuR MARLIN EP RTR BASIC OPERATION Moving Forwards: Forward movement is controlled by pushing the throttle control stick on the transmitter (the left-hand stick) forward to turn on the motor. The throttle is proportional, so motor speed is directly related to control stick position. The further forward you push the throttle control stick, the faster the boat will go.
  • Page 9 IMPORTANT You'll want to check the controls until the Ni-Cd battery in the boat no longer has enough power to operate the motor. This will allow you enough time to become familiar with how the controls react to the inputs from the transmitter control sticks and it will drain the Ni-Cd battery enough for its first full recharge before use.
  • Page 10 GETTING READY TO RuN YOuR MARLIN EP RTR CHARGING THE NI-CD BATTERY IMPORTANT Before charging the Ni-Cd battery, it must be fully discharged. Discharge the Ni-Cd battery by running the motor until it stops. This will ensure that you don't overcharge the Ni-Cd battery. NEvER RUN THE NI-CD BATTERY DOWN SO LOW THAT THE MOTOR STOPS WHILE THE BOAT IS IN AN INACCESSIBLE AREA (LIKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAKE).

  • Page 11: Maintaining Your Marlin Ep Rtr

    RuNNING YOuR MARLIN EP RTR After you've checked the controls and are satisfied that the range check has been completed successfully, place the boat in the water pointing away from shore. At first, you should run the boat at slower speeds until you get used to the way the boat handles. Notice that the throttle is proportional, meaning that the motor will speed up from off to high power in relation to the position of the throttle control stick.
