4 ChargINg The SUBMarINe
Attention: The battery and motor must cool down for 15 to 20 minutes before
charging and after each dive. Otherwise they can be damaged. The
charging process must be constantly monitored. Always ensure that
the charging process takes place on a fireproof surface in a fire-resistant
environment.
• Switch off the submarine (4A).
• Connect the charging cable to a USB port (4B).
• Open the switch cover on the model. Carefully insert the charging cable in the charge
socket – pay attention to the guide slot on the plug! The plug must be gently inserted
in the charge socket – DO NOT USE FORCE. If the plug is not correctly inserted in the
charge socket, the submarine can be damaged and may, under certain circumstances,
lead to injury (4C).
• The LED on the USB charger is illuminated during charging.
• As soon as the Power LED goes out, the charging process is complete.
• The charging process lasts approx. 40 minutes and must be continuously monitored.
• Disconnect the submarine from the charging cable and disconnect the charging cable
from the remote control after the charging is completed (4D).
After a charge time of approx. 40 minutes the submarine can sail for
approx. 20 minutes.
Warning notice: The LiPo battery does not normally heat up while charging.
Immediately discontinue the charging process should it become
warm or even hot and/or changes to the surface start to appear.

• Fit the antenna before the first trip. To do so, carefully insert the threaded end of the
the screw.
• The model has no separate switch and is switched on by closing the switch cover
• Fully extend the antenna on the remote control.
• Place the submarine in the water. Now briefly submerge it in the water and shake it
Important: There should be no air bubbles on the submarine! These bubbles give the
submarine unwanted extra buoyancy and may prevent it from diving. Shake off these
bubbles to ensure that it operates properly underwater!
Caution! To prevent corrosion, after every trip open and hold open the drain (5C) on
the underside of the submarine to allow any water that may have entered to drain out
and the interior to dry out.

6C To bank to the left, press the
left turn button until the rear of the
submarine faces the operator.
Note: The diving function is used to set the fill level of the diving tanks. When
water runs into the tank, the model loses its buoyancy and begins to submerge.
It resurfaces when this procedure is reversed. The model rises and sinks at different
speeds depending on how full the tanks are.
Attention! Water considerably diminishes the signal from the remote control. To
ensure that the connection between the remote control and submarine is not lost,
do not dive any deeper than 50 cm.
7A To dive, press the dive button.
