OPERATING INSTRUCTION
ATTENTION PARENTS:
1. It is recommended that this toy and all accessories be periodically examined for
potential hazards and that any potential hazardous parts be repaired or replaced.
2. Children should be made aware of potential danger associated with playing
near water.
BATTERY INSTALLATION:
BATTERY LOADING
1. Plug the wall pack battery charger into wall outlet (See Diagram 1).
2. Click the battery pack into the charger. Make certain the battery pack is secure
in charger.
3. To disconnect, push the button of the charger (See Diagram 1) and
simultaneously slide battery pack out.
4. Allow about 2 hours for full-charge. The green LED indicator will be flashing
continuously when charging is in process.
5. The charging is completed when the green LED indicator stops flashing and
stays on. Then unplug the charger and disconnect the battery pack from
charger.
6. After charging for 2 hours, the battery will be warm. This condition is normal for
fully charged batteries.
7. If the speed of the car slows down suddenly, it is time to recharge.
8. After use, the battery pack will be hot! Wait at least 20 minutes until it cools
before recharging. Recharging a warm or hot battery pack will greatly shorten
the battery life.
CAUTION
• To avoid damage and personal injury, use only the supplied battery charger to
charge the battery pack.
• After playing, wait at least 20 minutes to let the battery pack cool before
recharging it.
BATTERY NOTES
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. Do not mix
old and new batteries or batteries of different capacities, types, or chemistries.
• Dispose of the old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
• Do not disassemble the charger and battery pack. Incorrect assembly can result
in risk of electric shock or fire.
• If you do not plan to use the boat for a week or longer, remove the batteries from
the controller and the boat.
• Batteries should NEVER be left unattended while charging. Only adults should
charge the batteries. Use caution when using the charger to avoid electric shock.
INSTALL BATTERIES IN THE BOAT
1. Turn the rear latch to release and remove the cabin cover (See Diagram 2).
2. Turn off the boat.
3. To install the battery pack, open the battery hatch latches and remove the hatch
(See Diagram 3). Insert the 9.6 V battery pack into the battery socket (See
Diagram 4). Make sure you fit the battery and battery cables neatly inside, before
you replace the hatch securely.
4. Turn on the boat (See Diagram 5). Align and slot the cabin cover pointed end
first onto the boat, and secure the rear latch.
5. Make sure both plugs on the stern are securely plugged before launching your
boat.

INSTALL BATTERIES IN THE CONTROLLER
1. Turn off the controller.
2. Use a screwdriver to open the battery compartment cover (See Diagram 6).
3. Insert 4 × AAA batteries (not included), matching the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover and secure
it with the screw (See Diagram 6).
Note: The Pairing Indicator flashes slowly if your batteries are weak. New alkaline
batteries provide about 5 hours operation.
PAIR YOUR BOAT AND THE CONTROLLER
Before operating your boat for the first time, you must first pair the controller and
boat.
1. Place the controller within 3 ft. (1m) of the boat.
2. Turn on the controller and the boat.
3. Press and hold the Pairing button inside the controller for 3 seconds. The
controller‘s pairing indicator flashes. When successfully paired, the indicator
stays lit green.
Notes:
• If the pairing failed, turn off the controller and the boat, move closer, and then
try again.
• If playing with more than one Aqua King at the same time, pair each boat
separately.
• Your boat will remember the controller once paired.
ABOUT YOUR AQUA KING
The Aqua King is designed with three special safety features.
• Safety Contacts: Two metal contacts on the bottom of the boat detect water
when the boat and controller are turned on, so that the boat’s propellers will start
running only when the boat is placed on water (See Diagram 8).
• Boat Power Indicator: The power indicator changes color to show the boat’s
battery status (See Diagram 7).
• Out-of-Range Alert: The controller will alert you when your boat is near the
maximum control distance. Environmental factors such as wind speed and water
currents will affect the actual control range.
HOW TO DRIVE YOUR BOAT
1. Turn on the boat and the controller. A beep sounds if you have turned on the
controller first; this is to remind you to turn on the boat.
2. Drive safely and avoid losing your boat. Monitor the LED indicators, and listen
for the controller’s alert. Immediately drive the boat back towards you if:
• The Boat Power indicator turns red
• The Pairing indicator starts to flash slowly, meaning the controller batteries
are weak
• You hear the Out-of-Range Alert. The controller stops beeping when you are
safely within range.
3. Turn off the boat and controller when you finish playing.
AFTER PLAY, ALWAYS...
• Turn off your boat and wipe the surface dry.
• Dry any water that may have entered the boat’s interior. To dry, pull out the stern
plugs and open the battery hatch. Leave to dry completely before storing.
