1 Product Overview
The NAVY Remote Control is used for starting and stopping the NAVY
outboard motor, adjusting the speed of the motor, configuring the battery
parameters, displaying the system information and messages, etc. The
Remote Control is powered by either solar power or the built-in lithium
battery. Remote Control wirelessly or wiredly communicates with the
outboard control system built in the main outboard motor. While using the
Remote Control, it requires an additional steering wheel to help steer.

3 Charging
The NAVY Remote Control has a built-in lithium battery for power supply.
The battery will be charged automatically under normal use: get charged by
solar power or wired connection.
3.1 Charging by solar power
When the solar panel receives enough sunshine, it will generate electricity to
charge the built-in lithium battery. While charging the battery by solar power,
it’s suggested to face the solar panel of the Remote Control toward sunlight
to get better charging effect.
(Face the Sun)
Solar Panel
Figure 3-1
It’s recommended to charge the Remote Control by solar power.
3.2 Charging by wired connection
If the Remote Control can’t get enough solar power for a long time, the
battery level will run out. In this case, a warning message with an error code
E60 (Figure 3-2) will display on the LCD panel to remind you to charge the
Remote Control.
Figure 3-2

11
Please follow the below steps to charge the Remote Control by wired
connection.
First, connect the Remote Control to the outboard motor by a communication
cable rst (Figure 3-3);
Then, connect the outboard motor to the battery.
Communication Cable
Figure 3-3
During long-term storage, ensure to charge the Remote Control battery
every 6 months to avoid over-discharge.
After long-term storage, charge the Remote Control before use.
The communication cable is not included in this package. Please
purchase one from your dealer if you choose this charging method.
It’s recommended to switch off the Remote Control while connecting
the communication cable. When the Remote Control is switched on
while charging, as the outboard main part and Remote Control are
in communication, the working outboard motor will stop once the
communication cable disconnects.
* The communication cable needs
to be purchased separately.

4 Power Adjusting
4.1 Power Adjusting for Remote Control
The Remote Control is mainly used to adjust the input power of the outboard
motor. When the battery is well connected and switched on, power on the
Remote Control to start the outboard, then slowly push the throttle forward
position to increase the throttle power. The maximum forward/backward
power is different for different outboard motors. The default maximum
forward/backward power is shown below.
Forward Neutral Backward
Figure 4-1
Outboard motor Forward power Backward power
NAVY 3.0 3 kW 3 kW
NAVY 6.0 6 kW 4 kW
Before power on the Remote Control, please reset the throttle to neutral
position.
If you nd a blinking “RESET” on the display panel, you are reminded to
reset the throttle to neutral position.
If you turn the throttle from the forward position to the backward position
directly, the motor will rst stop shortly, then start turning to the reverse
direction.

13
4.2 Adjusting Maximum Forward/Backward Power
Users can set the maximum forward/backward throttle power on their own.
Make sure the battery is powered off before adjusting.
Step 1: Turn on the Remote Control. The home page displays.
Step 2: Long press (5s) “ ” button and “
^
” button simultaneously to
enter the maximum forward/backward power setting page.
FOr: forward
bAC: backward
Long Press “ ”and
“ ” button simultaneously.
^
Figure 4-2
Step 3: If the parameter is ickering, you can press “
^
” button to change
the parameter. If you do not want to change the ickering parameter,
press “ ” button to switch to the next parameter.
If you want to set the maximum backward power to 4kW,
you can switch to bAC and set the percentage to 67%,
eg. 4kW / 6kW ≈ 67%.
Step 4: Long press the “ ” button until it returns to the home page. The
setting is nished.

14
4.3 Recalibration
The throttle position sensor should be recalibrated if the below error code
displays.
Figure 4-3
Recalibration process LCD Displaying
Step1: Long press “
^
” button for 10s until
“CAL FO” displays.
Step2: Push the throttle to the maximum
forward power position, then press “
^
”
button. “CAL ST” will display and “CAL” will
be blinking.
Step3: Pull the throttle to the middle (zero)
position where you can hear a click sound,
then press “
^
” button, “CAL bA” will display
and “CAL” will be blinking.

15
Step4: Pull the throttle to the maximum
backward power position, then press “
^
”
button. “CAL FO” will display and calibration
is completed. A blinking “RESET” will display
to remind you to reset the throttle to zero
position.
Step5: Push the throttle to zero position and
press the “ ” button and return to the main
page.
Carry out the throttle calibration procedures strictly as the above
sequence.
When recalibrating a Remote Control, please pull/push the throttle.

16
5 Use of Kill Switch
Locate the kill switch to the right place on the Remote Control and tie its
lanyard to your wrist or life jacket.
Stop the outboard in emergency by detaching the kill switch.
To run the motor again, rst attach the kill switch then start the motor.
Figure 5-1
The kill switch generates magnetic eld. Keep it 50cm / 20inches away
from medical implants like pacemakers and magnetic cards (e.g. credit
card) as well as other magnetic media.
The magnetic eld of the kill switch may interfere with some electronic
instruments. Keep it away from these electronic instruments.

6 Pairing Remote Control to the Outboard
There are three pairing methods. Please choose one proper method
and follow the procedures.
a. Pairing Wirelessly
Step1: Switch off both NAVY outboard and Remote Control.
Hold the remote within 0.5m to the head part of the outboard.
Step2: Press and hold the “ ” button on the Remote to switch on.
Step3: Press “ ” button and hold 5s to enter the pairing setting page
(Figure 6-1). On this page, you can find blinking “ ” (address)
and “ ” (set), and a countdown timer “ ” (60s).
Figure 6-1
Step4: Switch on NAVY power. Wait for them to get paired in a few seconds.
Step5: After pairing, the LCD screen will display as Figure 6-2 for 5s, then
returning to home page automatically.
Figure 6-2
If pairing fails within 60s, go back to Step3 and try again.
b. Pairing by Communication Cable with a 48V Battery
Step1: Switch off both NAVY outboard and Remote Control.
Step2: Connect NAVY outboard and Remote Control with a communication
cable. Please refer to Figure 6-3.

18
Step3: Switch on both NAVY outboard and Remote Control and wait for
them to get paired.
Step4: Pairing succeeds until home page displays. Then disconnect the
communication cable.
Figure 6-3
c. Pairing by Communication Cable with a NAVY Battery
Step1: First connect the main switch cables to the NAVY Battery.
Step2: Connect the main switch cables with the power cables from the
outboard.
