Be sure not to allow the propeller or
the rudder to touch the bed of the
water.
If this is allowed to happen it may
lead to permanent damage and severly
affect the manoeuvrability and speed of
the boat.
If necessary, change the propellers for
the replacement pair.
Feed the antenna cable through the
antenna tube and then fix this to the
Carrera RC-model. Secure the end of
the antenna cable with a Carrera RC

Safety instructions
A Carrera RC boat is a remotecontrolled model boat that uses special
rechargeable batteries for this purpose.
Only original Carrera RC Li-Ion
rechargeable batteries may be used.
Rechargeable batteries are to be
removed from the boat before being
charged.
When starting, always switch the
controller on first, then the boat.
When finishing, always reverse the
order of these actions!
The Carrera RC boat must be inspected
before and after operation, each time it
is used, to ensure that it has not become
disassembled. Any screws or nuts that
may have become loosened during
operation must be tightened.
Do not run your boat during a thunderstorm! Atmospheric interference can
lead to malfunctions.
Safety propeller
The propeller switches off on being
taken out of the water.
Please note particularly that the propellers have no function out of the water.
The boat cannot be operated on the
ground.
Do not expose the Carrera RC boat to
direct sunlight.
To avoid the electronics in the boat
overheating, when temperatures are
above 35 °C, regular short pauses in
operation are essential
The toy is to be operated in water only
when fully assembled.
Please ensure your remote control batteries have the required capacity and
make sure the LI-Ion power pack is fully
charged.
Handle the tip of the antenna with care.
Danger of injury!
Never use strong solvents for cleaning
your model.
Please clean the water sensor contacts
regularly with tap water and a little vinegar-based cleaner.
To avoid malfunctions to the control
system resulting in uncontrolled operation of the Carrera RC boat, check that
the controller batteries and the
rechargeable batteries in the boat
have sufficient charge. Supply terminals
are not to be short-circuited.
After each running session, open the
two drainage plugs at the bow and stern
and pour away any condensation which
may have accumulated.
Only replace the plugs in these openings immediately before you use the
boat for another running session.

Always recharge the battery immediately after use to prevent its becoming deep
discharged. Recharge the batter y occasionally (suggested every 2-3 months).
Failure to treat the battery as described above can lead to its becoming defective.
Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision! Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged by adults or by children at least 8 years old.
Switch on the Carrera RC boat using
the ON/OFF switch.
Let’s practise!
GREEN = ReadyRED = Chargi ng
Charging the rechargeable battery
Now you can drive the boat
Installing the rechargeable battery
Using a screwdriver, remove the cover of the
batter y compartment in the Carrera RC boat.
Connect the end of the cable from the
Carrera RC boat with the charged battery.
Put the battery in place.
Replace the compartment cover using
a screwdriver.
Unscrew the cover of the battery compartment in the controller and insert the 9 V
block battery.
When inserting the 9 V block battery,
ensure that the polarit y is correct. Different types of batteries or new and
used batteries are not to be mixed.
Replace the cover using a screwdriver.
First connect the Carrera RC rechargeable
battery to the battery charger supplied. The
connection terminals between the battery
and the charger are designed to prevent
connection with the wrong polarity. Connect
the charger to a power source.
When the battery is properly connected and
charging normally, the red LED is constantly
lit. Once the battery is fully charged, the red
LED switches to green. The battery can now
be disconnected and installed in the Carrera
RC boat.
The boat is now read y for use.
After use, the battery must be allowed to cool
down for at least 20 minutes before it can be
fully recharged. Failure to observe this
pause may damage the battery.
Pull out the antenna of the controller to
its full extent.
Switch on the Carrera RC-controller at
the ON/OFF switc h.
Caution: this boat can reach speeds
up to 20 km/h.
When first starting, be very careful
when operating the gas pedal. Practice
running slowly for at least two to three
full charges of the battery before you
start practising faster manoeuvres.
Note: when the controller remains unused for more than 2 minutes, it switches automatically into “sleep” mode to avoid wasting power in the controller’s 9 V bat tery.
This means the boat receives no more radio signals and behaves as described under
point 5 on page 11 “Range control ”.
• Bring the boat back to the bank after about 20 minutes to change the battery
• Never run more than 2 batteries down one after the other. After running down
two fully-charged batteries , a pause in running for at least 20 minutes is essential.
• Avoid constant motor operation.
• If the model switches itself off several times in quick succession, the battery is
dead. Please recharge the battery.
• To switch off after use, follow the steps in the reverse order.
• After use, remove or disconnect the battery.
• Clean the Carrera RC boat after the running session.
• Always keep the Carrera RC battery stor ed outside the boat .

Acoustic battery condition monitoring
Problem Cause Solution
Boat does not move
Either the switch on the controller or the boat is set to OFF. Switch on.
There is no rechargeable battery in the boat or the battery is too
weak.
Insert charge d batter y.
Signal note is emitted - weak battery in the controller or in the model. Insert new battery or recharged battery.
The contacts of the water sensor are dirty.
Please clean the water sensor contacts regularly with tap water and a
little vinegar-based cleaner.
The boat is very warm. Allow the RC boat to cool down for about 30 minutes.
Boat cannot be controlled
Transmitter antenna is defective. Extend the antenna fully.
Another RC boat is using the same frequency. Wait until the captain of the other ship has finished running.

Controller functions
The joysticks can be stored in the special compartment at the back of the
controller.
Then plug the microphone in to the
controller and fasten it to the carrying
strap with the clip.
When the boat’s battery is almost
empty, a continuous signal note is
emitted. Please steer immediately to
the bank, and change the battery.
You can steer the model in any direction using the joysticks:
Joystick on left: forwards/backwards
Joystick on right: left/right
The joysticks are removable.
Range control
When it goes beyond the range of the
radio frequency, or the controller is not
touched for over 2 minutes, the boat sails
in small but ever-increasing circles to try
to regain the radio frequency range. Make
sure you operate the controller once if
necessary to deactivate the “sleep” mode.
See page 10 “Let ’s practise”.
Alternatively, the model can be controlled with the rockers.
The boat‘s horn is sounded when you
press the lef t-hand but ton on the contro ller.
The joysticks can be stored in the special compartment at the back of the
controller.
You can make an announcement over
the boat’s loudspeaker by pressing the
right-hand button on the controller while
speaking into the microphone.
