If youoperate iBoat with the wing in the recharging position, the recharging terminal can getwet. This is very dangerous!*The manufacturer prohibits the user to alter the specifications or to remodel the productin any way. Those who violate this rule will be prohibited from operating iBoat.iBoat is operated by use of radio waves. If you operate iBoat where it can be affected byother radio waves, the boat may not respond correctly to your operations, or start tomove even though you are not operating it. In such cases, the boat is not broken.Operate your boat in a different place or at a different time.CAUTION!When you have finished recharging, detach iBoat fromthe controller and replace the recharger cover and wing.CAUTION: Before starting to play, make surethat the antenna is standing vertically upright. Ifthe antenna is bent to the left or right, it will affectthe balance.* Operation Techniques *For smooth cornering, move the stick slightly forward orreverse and then slide it to the left or right. This willenable smooth left/right turns. If you master this basictechnique, you will be able to make a letter “8”, slalom,etc. This cornering technique will enable theuser to operate in small pools, etc.Features of the controllerSingle-stick controller enables single-handoperation for all movements.Operation mechanismiBoat is propelled by a 2-motor 2-screw sys-tem. When both screws turn at the samespeed, iBoat moves straight forward. When you oper-ate the controller to move to the left/right, the motor onthe side you wish to advance stops to change the direc-tion of the boat. If you want to turn right, the right screwstops. If you want to turn left, the left screw stops.Position of the stickand the direction ofthe boat.7 89CAUTION: Be sure to return the wing (charger cover) to its originalposition before starting to operate iBoat.If the wing is not fully returned to its proper position, water canseep into the hull or recharging terminal and cause short circuits.Improper replacement of the wing may damage the stopper claspas well. 2.Make sure that the drainhole cap fits into the waterdrain hole and pushstraight down until theclasp clicks and fits into po-sition.1.Lift the wingup so that itcomes directlyover the re-charging ter-minal.THE FCC WANTS YOU KNOWTHE RBRCTMSeal on the nickel cadmium batterypack indicates that NikkoAmerica is voluntarilyparticipating in an industry program to collect andrecycle these batteries at the end of their useful life.The RBRC program provides a convenient alternativeto disposing nickel-cadmium batteries into the trash ormunicipal waste stream,which is illegal in some areas.Nikko America's payments to RBRC makes it easy for you to dropoff the spent battery pack at local retailers who sell replacementnickel-cadmium batteries.You may also contact your local recycling center for information onwhere to return the spent battery pack.RBRC is a trademark of theRechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.Extended Operating Time (follow-up recharging)Recharge the battery once.
