Precautions for use

1. After you make sure to know and grasp the operation keys of this bait boat, you can use it in the water. Every time your travel, you should check the functions of the boat and carry all accessories to ensure normal operation.

2. To ensure that the boat can work normally, 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 in it, ventilate the boat in a dry place, and keep the inside of the boat body dry.

3. Do not overload using the boat in heavy wind or storm, and check the inside of the boat if used in bad weather.

4. In use, before the boat is placed into the water for operation, make sure that the boat power and remote control power have been turned on. In addition, the spare battery of the remote controller should be equipped at any time to prevent the boat from failing to return in case of no power of the remote controller.

5. Do not make the motor idle. If the motor shaft gets away from the water level, it cannot be cooled by water. The heat due to friction with the water seal will make it quickly age and degrade the waterproof performance.

6. The valid distance of the remote control signals is 500m. The valid distance of the remote control 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 automatic driving 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 the antenna should 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 automatic driving boat can automatically return to the origin), please stop operation immediately and charge the boat batteries.

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 power is turned off during replacement (For GPS automatic driving configurations, please refer to the precautions of automatic driving function).

9.  After a new boat is received, if the power is insufficient, please charge the batteries, and then use the boat. 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 placed in a dry and ventilated place, 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 of the customers, it is beyond the warranty scope.

3-1 Operation notices of GPS automatic driving 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 obstacles, the positioning precision can reach about 1m.

2. Every time the boat arrives at the fishing lake, please first set the 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 in the middle position during automatic return. Otherwise, it will interfere with the normal return. Four lights will continuously flicker during automatic return.

4. When the power of the remote controller is consumed or the remote control function fails, please turn off the power of the remote controller. 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 15minutes. 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 an automatic returning function in case of lower power. 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 under 20%, please change the batteries of the remote controller in time. In addition, always make sure that the remote controller has enough spare batteries for use at any time.

When you operate the right rocker or press the “Exit” key during this period, the automatic driving program will terminate and the boat will switch to the manual operation mode.

8. To ensure that the boat keeps within the valid coverage while sailing the longest distance of the GPS automatic driving is 300m. The automatic return is not restricted in case of an emergency.

9. If automatic driving cannot keep the correct direction in the stormy weather, please switch to the manual navigation mode.
