FISH FINDER

Main functions:

• Water temperature measurement
• Measurement of the water depth (maximum depth range up to 30 m)
• Automatic switching of 4 depth ranges: 2-5 m, 5-15 m, 15-20 m, and 20-30 m
• Three sizes of icons showing the detected fish: large, medium and small
• Fish detection in three sensitivity levels: C1 / C2 / C3 (from lowest to highest sensitivity)
• Display of the profile and hardness of the bottom
  Notice: The echo sounder only works and shows correct output if the boat is in the water. The echo sounder works reliably and correctly measures depths in water deeper than 2 m.

GPS NAVIGATIoN

GPS functions

• You can set and save 31 different GPS points (1 starting „HOME“ point and 30 destination points)
• The boat shows the distance to the „HOME“ point and to the selected destination point
• The boat can automatically sail to selected destination point using GPS navigation
• The boat automatically returns to the starting point if the connection with the remote control is lost or (Only if the „HOME“ point has been correctly stored)
• The boat‘s front and rear lights flash and the remote control beeps when the boat reaches its destination.

Using the GPS navigation:

• Switch on the boat and wait about 3 minutes before you start using the GPS system. During this time the maximum number of GPS satellites are being searched. This ensures a more accurate determination of the position of the boat and thus higher accuracy of navigation in GPS mode. At least five GPS satellites are required to get the correct function of the GPS navigation.
• Press the GPS button to enter the GPS navigation menu. There are 31 positions available (1 starting point „HOME“ and 30 destination points, marked with numbers). The GPS coordinates of the starting point and the current GPS coordinates of the boat are also displayed.
• Use the + / – buttons to select the appropriate memory position. The currently selected position flashes.
• Shortly press the SET button to save the current position of the boat to the selected memory position. After saving, the icon of the selected position will get a black background.
• To clear the memory position, use the + / – buttons to select the appropriate position you want to delete. Then press the SET button to clear the position. The black background of the icon will be removed.
• To sail to a selected destination point, first select this position with the + / – buttons. Then confirm the sailing to this point pressing the Go button. Press Go again to return to the home screen.
• You can exit the GPS menu at any time by pressing the ESc key.

CHARGING

The charger is equipped with LED charging indicators. A red light means the charging process in progress. When charging is complete, the red light turns green, indicating full charge.
charging the boat battery:

Attention! Always use the charger with 2 batteries connected. Never charge only one battery!
charging the remote controller:
The RC battery is stored inside the remote controller and is completely maintenance-free. To charge the battery, connect the charger‘s connector to the USB port on the RC and then connect the charger to the power supply. The charge status is indicated on the RC display.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS

• The antenna is a good conductor of electromagnetic waves and electrostatic discharges, so never use the boat during a storm.
• It is dangerous to use the remote control in areas where explosive materials are used or stored.
• The electronic compass is highly sensitive to external influences. Avoid using it near high voltage lines, as well as in areas with strong magnetic fields or mining industries.
• Please make sure that the bait hopper door magnets are clean. In case of dirt with sand, mud or other dirt, clean the magnet and the metal plate on the door so that the hopper switch can work properly.
• NEVER disassemble the boat or remote control yourself. In case of any malfunction you should always contact your dealer or authorized service centre.
• opening the body of the remote control or the body of the boat means immediate loss of warranty !!!
  The seller warns the buyer that the warranty does not apply to wear and tear of the goods caused by its normal use. (The length of the warranty period on the battery is therefore not the same as the life of the battery, as the loss of capacity is due to normal wear and tear when using the battery.)
