• Dry your boat thoroughly after use.
• Two boats with the same frequency cannot run together. Both frequencies (27 MHz and 49 MHz)
are available from your local RadioShack store.
• Running your boat continuously for long periods generates high heat levels, which cause wear
and tear on the motor. To help keep heat levels down, let the boat cool at least 10 minutes
before installing a fresh battery pack.
• Keep your boat away from grass and debris that could cause propeller damage.
• If your boat does not respond, drives slowly, or the range reduces, recharge your battery pack.
• If your boat fails to respond after recharging, replace the battery in the transmitter and check the
propellers for debris.
• When your boat slows down from loss of battery power, guide it shore immediately so you
won’t lose it.
• When your boat goes outside the transmitter’s range, it stops. Hold your transmitter high above
your head to try to re-establish contact. If this doesn’t work, move closer and try again. Be
careful not to wade in deep water.
• Never touch the propellers while they are spinning, and avoid the propellers while the boat
is on.
• Children must be supervised by adults when playing with toys around water.
• Dispose of old batteries promptly and
properly. Do not burn or bury batteries.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size
and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or
batteries with different capacities or different
chemistries.
• Never leave a dead or weak battery in your
transmitter.
• If you do not plan to use your RC boat for
a few weeks, remove the battery from your
transmitter. Batteries can leak chemicals that
may damage electronic parts.
• Do not charge or recharge your battery pack
when it is in the boat.
• Do not overcharge your battery pack.
• Do not recharge your battery pack
immediately after use. Allow it to cool fi rst.
• Make sure your battery pack is securely
fastened to your boat before playing.
• Batteries purchased for use in this toy may
be hazardous to children. Check the safety
notice before use.
