Charging

The Evo Remote Control has a built-in lithium battery for power supply. The battery will be charged automatically under normal use: get charged by solar power or wired connection. The Evo Tiller does not have a built-in battery and needs to be connected to the machine.

Charging by solar power
When the solar panel receives enough sunshine, it will generate electricity to charge the built-in lithium battery. While charging the battery with solar power, it’s suggested to face the solar panel of the Remote Control toward sunlight to get the better-charging effect.

It’s recommended to charge the Remote Control with solar power.

Charging by wired connection

If the Evo Remote Control can’t get enough solar power for a long time, the battery level will run out. In this case, a warning message with an error code E60 (Figure 4-2) will display on the LCD panel to remind you to charge the Remote Control.

The communication cable is not included in this package. Please purchase one from your dealer if you choose this charging method.
It’s recommended to switch off the Remote Control while connecting the communication cable. When the Remote Control is switched on while charging, as the outboard main part and Remote Control are in communication, the working outboard motor will stop once the communication cable disconnects.
