Installing the Batteries
The PRB8060 radio system requires 4 AA alkaline batteries for operation. Many drivers prefer alkaline batteries over rechargeable batteries finding it more convenient to simply replace the batteries when depleted rather than taking the time to recharge.
To install the batteries:
Remove the battery door and install 4 AA batteries observing the polarity marked in the battery compartment.
Replace the battery door.
Receiver Compatibility
The Pro Boat pistol-grip transmitter features Marine technology and is compatible with Spektrum marine receivers.
Note: The Pro Boat pistol-grip transmitter is not compatible with Spektrum DSM or DSM2 surface receivers.
Marine-compatible transmitters can be identified by the following logo on the back.
Binding a Receiver
1.With the receiver off insert the bind plug into the bind (BD) port on the receiver.
2.Power the receiver through any other port. The amber LED will flash continuously, indicating the receiver is in bind mode.
Note: To bind a boat with an electronic speed controller that powers the receiver through the throttle channel (ESC/BEC), insert the bind plug into the BD port in the receiver and the throttle lead into the throttle (TH) port.
3.With the steering wheel and throttle trigger in the desired preset failsafe positions, turn on the transmitter. The LED on the back of the
transmitter with a translucent cover will flash indicating the transmitter is in bind mode.
LED
4.Within 15 seconds, the LED on the receiver will go solid indicating a successful bind has taken place.
5.Remove the bind plug and store it in a convenient place.
Note: You must rebind when different failsafe positions are desired, e.g. when throttle or steering reversing has been changed.
