Thank you for purchasing your RC Jet race Boat from RadioShack. Your boat comes in two frequencies (27MHz and 49MHz), so you and your friends can race together. The boat is equipped with a fan for cooling the motor. The automatic speed regulator enables smooth steering.

This vessel sails at high speeds. Avoid using it where people are swimming.

Caution: Immediately after recharging, the boat runs at a higher speed than normal, which can cause your boat to capsize on choppy water. Maneuver your boat carefully immediately after replacing the battery.

 Attach the antenna to your transmitter.  Thread the boat’s antenna wire through

the supplied antenna tube. Then, insert the tube into the antenna tube holder.

 Turn the latches on the boat to open the

battery compartment and turn on the boat.

 Place your boat in the water and use the

transmitter’s controls to operate it. Your transmitter’s LED lights when in use.

• Your transmitter does not have a power switch. It turns on when you move either lever.

• Your transmitter is not waterproof. Do not submerge it in water.

• The boat decreases its speed when turning to make sharper turns.

NOTES

• Do not use your boat near devices with transmitters using the same frequency (27 or 49 MHz).

• 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 25 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 doesn’t respond after recharging, replace the transmitter battery and check for propeller debris.

• If your boat slows down due to loss of battery power, guide it to shore immediately so it won’t drift away.

• If your boat goes outside the transmitter’s range, it stops. Hold your transmitter high above your head to re-establish contact. If this doesn’t work, move closer and try again. Do not wade into deep water.

• Never touch the propellers while they are spinning.

• Children must be supervised by adults when playing with toys around water.

• Do not operate the transmitter with the battery compartment open. The cooling fan in the boat starts when you operate the transmitter.
