Conrad 2611682 Firmware update

Avoid the following unfavourable environ-
mental conditions at the place of use, and
during transportation:
– Wetness or high humidity
– Cold or heat, direct sunlight
– Dust or ammable gases, fumes or
solvents
– Strong vibrations, impacts or blows
– Strong magnetic elds, such as those
found close to machinery or speakers
Never use the charger/power cord im-
mediately after it has been brought from a
cold room to a warm one. Otherwise, this
may result in the formation of condensate,
which can destroy the charger under cer-
tain circumstances. There is also a risk of
death from an electric shock! Allow the
product to reach room temperature before
connecting it and putting it into use. This
may take several hours.
Make sure that the charger power cord is
not kinked or crushed. The same applies
to the cables of the LiPo rechargeable
battery.
Handle the product with care, because it
can be damaged by jolts, impacts or a fall
from a low height.
4.3 Before operation
Ensure that there are no other models op-
erating at the same frequency (2.4 GHz)
within range of the remote control. Always
check whether there are any other 2.4
GHz remote controls that may interfere
with the model.
Conduct regular checks to verify that the
model and remote control are safe to use.
Inspect the parts for any visible signs of
damage, such as broken connectors or
damaged cables. All moving parts on the
model should move freely, but there must
not be any slackness in the bearing.
The drive battery that is required for op-
eration must be charged before use.
Ensure that the batteries in the transmitter
have sufcient remaining capacity (use a
battery tester). If the batteries are empty,
replace all of them at the same time. Nev-
er replace individual batteries.
Before each use, check the trim settings
for different control directions on the re-
mote control, and if necessary, adjust
them.
Before every use, check that the propeller
is correctly and securely seated and that
it is intact.
When switching on the remote control
and putting the model boat into operation,
always follow the procedure described
below in a separate section. This ensures
that the transmitter and receiver are con-
nected properly and that your model
responds reliably to remote control com-
mands from your transmitter. Otherwise,
the receiver may react unpredictably and
the propeller may accidentally start up.
There is a risk of accident and injuries!
Keep objects and body parts away from
the propeller’s spinning and intake area
when it is running.
4.4 During use
Do not take any risks when using the prod-
uct! Always use the model responsibly,
otherwise you may endanger yourself and
your surroundings.
Improper use can cause serious injury and
damage to property! Always ensure that
the model boat is kept away from people,
animals and objects during use.
Select a suitable body of water to use your
model. Make sure you ask the person or
organisation responsible for the body of
water whether you are permitted to use
your model there.
Ensure that there are no climbing plants
(such as seaweed) in the water. In addi-
tion, check that there are no objects (e.g.
branches) oating in the water.
When aoat, pay attention to currents and
other adverse conditions that make it dif-
cult or even impossible to operate the
model. The model can even be destroyed!
The model boat should only be operated
in still or very slow-owing waters without
signicant wave formation due to its small
size and relatively high potential speed.
Only use the model when you are fully
alert and able to respond. Fatigue, alcohol
and medication can affect your ability to
respond.
Never drive the model boat directly at
people or animals that are swimming in
the water.
Should any malfunctions occur during
operation, which may result in the model
boat drifting uncontrollably and/or with-
out propulsion in the water or e.g. getting
stuck in water plants, do not put your life in
danger while attempting to retrieve it from
the water.
Do not take any risks when retrieving the
model boat. Watch out for currents and
other boat trafc in the body of water. If
necessary, use an aid to retrieve the mod-
el boat from the water (e.g. rowing boat).
Never attempt to retrieve the model boat
alone, always engage an assistant who
can observe what is happening around
and call for help in an emergency.
Never point the transmitter antenna di-
rectly onto the model. This makes the sig-
nal transmission to the model a lot worse.
You should hold the transmitter so that the
transmitter antenna points upwards as
much as possible.
The motor, speed controller and drive
battery can become hot during model
operation. For this reason, wait 5 to 10
minutes before recharging the drive bat-
tery or restarting the model with a spare
rechargeable battery. Let the drive motor
and speed controller cool down to the am-
bient temperature.
Always keep the remote control (transmit-
ter) turned on when the model is in use.
Always disconnect the drive battery from
the model after use. Only then may the
transmitter be switched off.
In the event of a defect or malfunction,
be sure to eliminate the cause of the fault
before resuming operation of the model.
Do not expose the model or the remote
control to direct sunlight or excessive heat
for prolonged periods.

contact us or an experienced technician.
4.2 Charger
The design of the battery charger con-
forms to protection class II. The charger
must be connected to a properly grounded
mains socket of the public supply grid (for
charger operating voltage, see section
“Technical data”).
The mains socket the charger is plugged
into via the power cord must be easily ac-
cessible.
The charger is only suitable for charg-
ing 2- or 3-cell LiPo rechargeable bat-
teries. Never use the charger for any
other purpose. Never use the charger to
charge NiMH rechargeable batteries (or
rechargeable batteries other than 2- or
3-cell LiPo ones) to avoid the risk of re
and explosion!
Only insert a single LiPo rechargeable
battery into the charger (the two outputs
must never be used at the same time).
The charger has XH sockets for connect-
ing the LiPo rechargeable battery. The
rechargeable battery must also have a
corresponding XH connector, otherwise
matching adapters are required. Always
pay attention to the correct pin assign-
ment.
Never short-circuit the charger outputs
and never connect the outputs together.
The charger may only be used in dry, en-
closed spaces. It must be protected from
moisture and dampness; never touch it
with wet hands to avoid the risk of death
from an electric shock! The same applies
to the power cord and mains plug.
Do not pull the mains plug out of the mains
socket by the cable. Grasp the plug by the
side of the housing and pull it out of the
mains socket.
If the charger and/or the power cord shows
signs of damage, do not touch it to avoid
the risk of death from an electric shock!
First switch off the mains voltage for the
mains socket the charger is plugged into
(switch off the associated circuit breaker
or unscrew the fuse, then switch off the
ground fault circuit interrupter so that the
mains socket is completely disconnected
from the mains voltage). You can then
unplug the power cord from the mains
socket.
Dispose of the damaged charger/power
cord in an environmentally friendly man-
ner and do not use it anymore. Make sure
you use a structurally identical charger/
power cord instead. A defective power
cord must never be repaired!
Mains-operated devices should not be
used by children. Therefore, be especially
careful when children are around. When
using the charger, always make sure that
children cannot reach it.

If the running performance decreases,
head for the bank immediately. Otherwise
there is a risk that the boat with an empty
drive battery will drift uncontrollably on the
water and get lost.
4.5 (Rechargeable) batteries
Correct polarity must be observed while
inserting the (rechargeable) batteries.
The (rechargeable) batteries should be
removed from the device if it is not used
for a long period of time to avoid damage
through leaking. Leaking or damaged (re-
chargeable) batteries might cause acid
burns when in contact with skin, therefore
use suitable protective gloves to handle
corrupted (rechargeable) batteries.
(Rechargeable) batteries must be kept
out of reach of children. Do not leave
(rechargeable) batteries lying around, as
there is risk, that children or pets swallow
them.
All (rechargeable) batteries should be re-
placed at the same time. Mixing old and
new (rechargeable) batteries in the device
can lead to (rechargeable) battery leakage
and device damage.
(Rechargeable) batteries must not be dis-
mantled, short-circuited or thrown into re.
Never recharge nonrechargeable batter-
ies. There is a risk of explosion!
4.6 LiPo battery
The rechargeable battery is permanently
built into the product and cannot be re-
placed.
Never damage the rechargeable battery.
Damaging the casing of the rechargeable
battery might cause an explosion or a re!
Unlike conventional batteries/recharge-
able batteries (e.g. AA or AAA type), the
casing of the LiPo rechargeable battery
does not consist of a thin sheet but rather
a sensitive plastic lm only.
Never short-circuit the contacts of the
rechargeable battery. Do not throw the
battery or the product into re. There is a
danger of re and explosion!
Charge the rechargeable battery regularly,
even if you do are not using the product.
Due to the rechargeable battery technol-
ogy being used, you do not need to dis-
charge the rechargeable battery rst.
Never charge the rechargeable battery of
the product unattended.
When charging, place the product on a
surface that is not heat-sensitive. It is nor-
mal that a certain amount of heat is gener-
ated during charging.
5 Care and maintenance
5.1 General care and repair tips
Clean the exterior of the model and the remote
control with a soft, dry cloth or brush. Never
use abrasive cleaning agents or chemical so-
lutions, as these may damage the surface of
the housing.
Damage to the hull should only be repaired
using a water-insoluble glue that is suitable for
ABS plastics. We recommend a two-compo-
nent epoxy resin based construction adhesive.
5.2 Checking water cooling
Turning propeller draws water into the tube
on the rudder blade holder, causing the motor
and speed controller to cool down. The water
is pushed out on the right-hand side of the
hull, which can be seen clearly while driving.
Before using the model boat, check that the
water cooling system is working properly. To
do this, use e.g. a small piece of hose to blow
air into the water cooling inlet. The air blown
must come out of the outlet. Also check the
model boat hoses for damage or kinks.
Never operate the model boat with
a faulty water cooling system. This
can lead to overheating and cause
damage to the motor and the speed
controller, which will void the war-
ranty/guarantee!
