Acoustic battery condition monitoring
Problem Cause Solution
Boat does not move
Either the switch on the controller or the boat is set to OFF. Switch on.
There is no rechargeable battery in the boat or the battery is too
weak.
Insert charged battery.
Signal note is emitted - weak battery in the controller or in the model. Insert new battery or recharged battery.
The contacts of the water sensor are dirty.
Please clean the water sensor contacts regularly with tap water and a
little vinegar-based cleaner.
The boat is very warm. Allow the RC boat to cool down for about 30 minutes.
Boat cannot be controlled
Transmitter antenna is defective. Extend the antenna fully.
Another RC boat is using the same frequency. Wait until the captain of the other ship has nished running.

Controller functions
The joysticks can be stored in the spe-
cial compartment at the back of the
controller.
Then plug the microphone in to the
controller and fasten it to the carrying
strap with the clip.
When the boat’s battery is almost
empty, a continuous signal note is emit-
ted. Please steer immediately to the
bank, and change the battery.
You can steer the model in any direc-
tion using the joysticks:
Joystick on left: forwards/backwards
Joystick on right: left/right
The joysticks are removable.
Range control
When it goes beyond the range of the
radio frequency, or the controller is not
touched for over 2 minutes, the boat sails
in small but ever-increasing circles to try
to regain the radio frequency range. Make
sure you operate the controller once if
necessary to deactivate the “sleep” mode.
See page 6 “Let’s practise”.
Alternatively, the model can be control-
led with the rockers.
The boat‘s horn is sounded when you
press the left-hand button on the con-
troller.
The joysticks can be stored in the spe-
cial compartment at the back of the
controller.
You can make an announcement over
the boat’s loudspeaker by pressing the
right-hand button on the controller while
speaking into the microphone.
