• The remote control and drive components must not get damp or wet.
• The model is only suitable for use in clean fresh water.
• If you do not have sufficient knowledge on how to operate remote-controlled model ships yet, please contact an
experienced model sportsman or a model construction club.
• Do not leave packaging material unattended. It may become a dangerous toy for children.
• Should questions arise that are not answered by the operating manual, contact us (for contact information, see
chapter 1) or another expert.
b) Before Commissioning
• Make sure that no other models are operated on the same channel (transmitter frequency) within the range of the
remote control. Otherwise, you will lose control of the remote-controlled models! For 2.4 GHz remote control sys-
tems, always check that concurrent operation of two or more remote control systems in direct proximity is possible
without interferences.
• Regularly check the functional reliability of your model and the remote control system. Watch out for any visible
damage such as defective plug connections or damaged cables. All moving parts on the model must run smoothly
but must not have any tolerance in the bearing.
• Charge the drive battery, which is necessary for operation, as well as the rechargeable battery that may be inserted
in the remote control according the manufacturer's instructions.
• If batteries are used as a transmitter power supply, make sure that they have sufficient remaining capacity (battery
checker). If the batteries are empty, always replace the complete set, never individual cells only.
• Before any commissioning, check for correct and tight fit of the ship's propeller and for any damage to them.
• Before operation, always control the trim controller settings of the on the transmitter for the various steering direc-
tions and, if necessary, adjust them.
• Always align the transmitter aerial so that the aerial tip points upwards as vertically as possible in the transmitter
position favoured by you to operate your model. Otherwise, the transmitter may not send its control signals as well
as possible, which may cause considerable reduction of the range.
• Always switch on the transmitter first. Then the drive battery of the model may be connected. Otherwise, unexpected
reactions of the receiver system may occur and the ship propeller might start up unintentionally! Danger of accident
and injury!
• When the ship propeller is running, make sure that neither objects nor body parts are in their rotating and suction
area.
