• Charging is not completed automatically by the charger. When the battery is fully charged, it must be disconnected
from the charger.
Charging a completely discharged battery takes abut 3 hours. After this period at the latest, you need to disconnect
the battery from the charger. If a battery that is not fully discharged is charged, the maximum permissible charging
time reduces accordingly.
Strong heating of the rechargeable battery also marks the end of charging, since the rechargeable battery cannot
take up any energy anymore and the charge current is converted to heat.
b) Installing the Receiver Aerial
The receiver aerial is brought out from the rear right of the boat body in driving direction and guided upwards with an
aerial tube.
• Turn the arresting lever to the left or right by 90° (1) and lift off the canopy. The canopy has small latches (2) in the
area of the arresting lever for this to facilitate lifting off. Lift up the canopy at the rear until the front part (3) comes
free of its anchoring.
• Push the aerial of the receiver from the inside of the boat to the outside (4).
• Guide the aerial into the aerial tube and push it into the opening of the boat's fuselage (5). Here the aerial should be
pulled completely to the outside and protrude from the aerial tube.
Important!
The range between the transmitter and the model may be reduced drastically if the receiver aerial is not
placed correctly (e.g. if the aerial is only in the boat's body). In this case, the model can no longer be cont-
rolled properly. Check that the receiver aerial is placed correctly before every operation.
