Precautions for use

1. After you have read through and understood the operation of this bait boat, you can use it on the water. Every time before use, you should check the functions of the boat and carry all accessories to ensure normal operation.
2. To ensure that the boat can function correctly, make sure to clean it after each use. Every time before the boat is used, make sure that the battery compartment is covered and it is kept waterproof. After using, open the battery cover to check if the battery compartment has any water inside, ventilate the boat in a dry place, and keep the inside of the boat body dry.
3. Before the boat is placed into the water for operation, make sure that the boat power and remote control power have both been switched on. In addition, the spare battery of the remote controller should be equipped at all times to prevent the boat from failing to return in case the controller loses power.
4. Please do not use the boat overloaded with bait in adverse weather conditions, check the inside of the boat frequently when operating in bad weather.
5. Do not make the motor idle. If the motor shaft isn’t in the water, it cannot be cooled. The heat due to friction with the water seal will make it quickly age and degrade the water proof performance.
6. The valid distance of the remote controller signals is 400m. The valid distance of the remote controller signals may be shortened due to influences of the environment and other factors. Please operate the boat within the range of visibility as much as possible during operation. When the remote control signals are lost or the remote controller is turned off, the boat will automatically stop in the water (the boat based on GPS auto-pilot can automatically return to the origin) and four front and rear lights will flicker continuously at the same time. In addition, the boat and remote controller antenna shall all point to the sky, so that transmission and receiving effect of the signals is optimal.
7. When the boat power alarm indicator is turned on, the boat can continue navigation for about 15 minutes. When the alarm indicator starts to flicker (GPS auto-pilot boat can automatically return to the origin), please stop operation immediately and charge the boat batteries. (Please stop using the GPS auto-pilot boat when the power of the boat is less than 20%).
8. The power indicator of the remote controller will gradually change from green to red during use. When the power of the remote controller is low, the power indicator will start to flicker and give out an alarm. Please replace the batteries of the remote controller and make sure that the boat is turned off during replacement (Please stop using the GPS auto-pilot boat when the power of the remote controller is less than 10%).
9. When you receive the boat please fully charge before use. Each time after the boat batteries are used, or if they are not used for a long time, they should be charged fully for storage. If they are not used for a long time, the batteries should be taken out and be placed in a dry and ventilated place and the batteries should be charged again every 2-3 months. Do not discharge the batteries excessively. Otherwise, it will damage the batteries and they cannot be used normally. If the batteries fail due to incorrect battery maintenance by the customer, it is beyond the warranty scope.
10. For boats with GPS function, if there is any problem of deviation during the voyage, please do the median calibration of the right rocker according to the suggested steps in the remote control Settings. In addition, do not restore factory Settings in the remote control Settings. If the boat cannot connect to the remote control, please contact the customer service for the bind method.
11. Do not use this boat in water areas with dense weeds. If the boat propeller has fishing line wrapped around it, please stop using the boat immediately. After the fishing line is removed, the boat can be used again. When taking your hook bait out and towing your fishing line, do not reverse for a long period of time to prevent the line from winding in the propeller.
12. When the boat is in the process of posting and transportation, place the lithium batteries or lead acid batteries in the designed foam packing slot and fix them. Do not directly place the batteries into the boat for transportation.
13. The charging port and other exposed ports should be covered by rubber caps during use. Otherwise, water will enter them and lead to a short circuit.
14. Do not use the bait boat in bad weather, such as lightning, storms, strong wind and big waves.
15. After the power is turned on, it takes about 20 seconds to initialize the course stabilizer. During this time, please leave the boat on a flat ground and do not operate the remote control.
16. This product has been granted with the state utility model and appearance patent, and its brand trademark has been registered. Do not infringe our trademark. Once any infringement is discovered, we will investigate related legal responsibilities.

Introduction to the GPS auto-pilot function

Operation notices of GPS auto-pilot function

1. About 5 minutes after startup, the satellite signals will be stable. When 10 satellites are available, the automatic driving function can be enabled. When more than 15 satellites are available and the boat is located in an open area without any obstacle, the positioning precision can reach about 1m.
2. Every time the boat arrives at the fishing place, please first setthe origin to ensure that the boat can automatically return to the origin in case of an emergency. It is recommended to set the origin at the water surface several meters away from the bank. The automatic driving function should be enabled at the origin. The bow should point to the extensive water surface as much as possible to prevent the boat from stranding on the bank during automatic steering.
3. When the boat cannot receive the signals from the remote controller or the boat power reduces to the minimum warning value, the boat will automatically enable the returning function and return to the origin. The right rocker should be located on the middle position in automatic return. Otherwise, it will interfere with normal return. Four lights will continuously flicker during automatic return.
4. When the power of the remote controller is consumed up or the remote control function fails, please turn off the power of the remote. The boat will automatically enable the returning function and return to the origin after 7s. Four lights will continuously flicker during automatic return.
5. When the boat power reduces to about 30%, the red power indicator of the boat will be on and you can continue using the boat for about 15 minutes. When the power reduces to about 20%, the remote controller will give out the power alarm and the red power indicator of the boat will begin to flicker. At this time, the boat may enable automatic returning function. You should stop using the boat immediately and charge it.
6. The remote controller should be powered by high-quality AA-sized batteries. When the power of the remote controller reduces to 30%, the power alarm will be given out. When the power reduces to be under 10%, please change the batteries of the remote controller in time. Always make sure that the remote controller has enough spare batteries for use at any time. Otherwise, when the power of the remote controller is consumed up, the boat cannot be controlled and an automatic return will occur.
7. Before the GPS auto-pilot function is enabled, please make sure the right rocker locates in the middle position. Manual operation is always dominant in automatic driving. When you operate the right rocker or press “Exit” key during automatic driving, the program will terminate and the boat will switch to the manual operation mode.
8. To ensure that the boat keeps within the valid coverage during sailing, the longest distance of the GPS auto-pilot is 300m. The automatic return is not restricted in case of an emergency.
9. If the automatic driving cannot keep the correct direction in the stormy weather, please switch to the manual navigation mode.
10. For the boats fish finder, please turn off the course auto-adjust function during the process of finding fish, because the automatic speed adjustment of the motor may interfere with the power supply voltage to the fish finder.
