Inspecting The Control Functions - Conrad Reely Mini Wavebreaker Notice D'emploi

c) Inspecting the Control Functions
After switching on the transmitter and connecting the rechargeable battery to your model's control electro-
nics, your model is ready for operation. To check the control functions and later in operation of the model,
carefully extend the transmitter aerial to its full length. Only this will achieve the maximum range of the
remote control.
The model has a safety function that prevents start-up of the motors on dry land. The motors will only start up when
both sensors (see circles in figure 7) are submersed and thus facing electrical transfer resistance.
Therefore, put the boat into water and hold it to check the steering functions.
Important!
Contamination (the boat has been operated, e.g. in a natural body of water) or a water film may cause a
transfer resistance on the boat's fuselage. This will cause the electronics to be activated outside of the water
as well. The safety deactivation will be out of order. The motors would thus be able to start. Danger of injury!
For this reason, we recommend rubbing the boat's fuselage dry with a clean cloth after every outing.
Check the function for forward and reverse driving: The drive lever of the transmitter (figure 5, item 3) permits control of
the model's driving direction. If you push the lever forward, the two ship's propellers need to turn and the boat moves
forwards. If you push the lever backward, the two ship's propellers need to turn and the boat moves backwards.
Reversing takes place at only approx. 50% of the drive output and is meant for short manoeuvres. Since
reversing increases the danger of ingressing water (water can enter through the canopy), do not reverse
over long distances.
