III. Precautions for use
1. After you make sure to know and grasp operation keys of this bait boat, you
can use it under water. Every time before your travelling, you shall check
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. In use, before the boat is placed into the water for operation, make sure that
the boat power and remote control power has been turned on. In addition, the
spare battery of the remote controller shall be equipped with at any time to
prevent the boat from failing to return in case of no power of the remote
controller.

4. 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.
5. 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 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
antenna shall all point to the sky, so that transmission and receiving effect of
the signals is optimal.
6. When the boat power alarm indicator is turned on, the boat can continue
navigation for about 15 min. 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.
7. 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 “Didi” sound. 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).
8. After a new boat is received, if the power is insufficient, please first 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 shall be charged fully for storage. If
they are not used for a long time, the batteries shall be taken out and be placed
in a dry and ventilated place. And the batteries shall 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.
9. Do not use this boat in the water areas with plentiful waterweeds. If the boat
propeller is wound by the fish wires, please stop using the boat immediately.
After the fish wires are removed, the boat can be used again. When the fish
wires are dragged, do not move back for a long time as much as possible to
prevent fish wires from winding in the propeller.
10. When the boat is in the course 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.
11. The charging port and other exposed ports shall be covered by rubber caps
during use. Otherwise, water will enter them and lead to short circuit.
12. Do not use this bait boat in bad weather, such as lightning, storms and strong
wind and big waves.
13. Do not allow children to contact with and use this product.

14. This product has been granted with the state utility model and appearance

3-1 Operation notices of GPS automatic driving function
（1）About 5-10 min 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 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 shall be
enabled at the origin. The bow shall point to the extensive water surface as
much as possible to prevent the boat from stranding on the bank during
automatic steering.
（3）Before the automatic driving function is used, the double-motor
speed adjustment knob shall be manually adjusted to make the boat advance
without deviation on the still water surface. The double knobs for motor
speed adjustment shall be adjusted to the maximum clockwise. When the
boat deviates to the left in sailing, the right knob shall be slowly adjusted
anticlockwise, vice versa.
（4）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 shall be located on the middle position in automatic
return. Otherwise, it will interfere with normal return. Four lamps will
continuously flicker in automatic return.
（5）When the power of the remote controller is consumed up 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 lamps will continuously flicker in
automatic return.
（6）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 min. 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 in
case of lower power. You shall stop using the boat immediately and charge
it.
（7）The remote controller shall be powered by high-quality AA-sized
batteries such as Nanfu or high-capacity AA-sized charging 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 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.
Otherwise, when the power of the remote controller is consumed up, the boat
cannot be controlled and an emergency will occur.
（8）Before the GPS automatic driving function is enabled, please make
the right rocker located on the middle position. Manual operation is always
dominant in automatic driving. When you operate the right rocker or press
“Exit” key during this period, the automatic driving program will terminate

and the boat will switch to the manual operation mode.
（9）To ensure that the boat keeps within the valid coverage during
sailing the longest distance of the GPS automatic driving is 300m. The
automatic return is not restricted in case of an emergency.
（10）If the automatic driving cannot keep the correct direction in the
stormy weather, please switch to the manual navigation mode.
