1. Introduction
This system consists of the FS-ST8B transmitter and FS-Br01 receiver, and is specially designed for the bait boat
model.
This system needs to be used with the boat control board. Through the transmitter, users can remotely control the
boat's driving, baiting, and light switch. Through the GPS satellite positioning system on the integrated control
board, it can automatically navigate the model boat to multiple destinations and return back to the starting place,
with the travel distance calculated. When the receiving signal is weak, the model boat will automatically turn back.
In order to facilitate the operator to control the bait boat, this transmitter is equipped with a display screen, to allow
users to control the status of the bait boat in real time, such as the remote signal strength, number of satellites,
transmitter battery level and boat, etc. In addition, it is also equipped with the audible alarm system. There will be
an audible alarm when the battery power of the transmitter or boat is too low.

1.1.1 Controls Description
The matchup between the transmitter control and the bait boat function is described as follows (Note that the
function is related to a speci󽗉c protocol).
Left Stick: Controls the container.
• Up: N/A
• Down: When the left LED and right LED 󽗊ash for three times at the same time, the left and right containers open.
• Left:When the left LED 󽗊ashes for three times, the left container opens.
• Right: When the right LED 󽗊ashes for three times, the right container opens.
Right Stick: Controls the bait boat to turn left or right and move forward or backward.
• Up: Controls the bait boat to move forward.
• Down: Controls the bait boat to move backward.
• Left: Controls the bait boat to turn left.
• Right: Controls the bait boat to turn right.
SWA Switch (three-position): Turns on and o󽗈 the LED of the bait boat, and adjusts its
• Up: Turns o󽗈 the LED.
• Middle: Turns on the LED, with low brightness.
• Down: Turns on the LED light, with high brightness.
VRB Knob: Adjusts the motor speed.
Left Button
• Press the button to start the auto return (Auto home) function. The boat will return to the starting point
automatically. To exit the return function, press the button again or toggle the right stick (the travel exceeds 2/3 in
any direction). The bait boat will travel at the speed as de󽗉ned by the stick position after exit.
Right Button: Fixed speed
• When you press the button during the boat movement, the boat will move forward with the current throttle output
speed. In this case, the stick can only control the boat to turn left or right or move backward. Note that the stick
needs to toggle more than 2/3 of the travel so that the boat can move backward;
• When you press the button during the boat movement, if the throttle is in neutral position, the boat will stop. If
the boat moves forward at this time, it will advance forward with the current throttle output speed.

This transmitter supports two antennas (internal antenna and external antenna).
1.2.1 Receiver LED Status
Three-󽗊ash-one-o󽗈（slow 󽗊ash): The receiver is waiting for 󽗉rmware' update or
forced 󽗉rmware' update.
Three-󽗊ash-one-o󽗈（Fast 󽗊ash): The 󽗉rmware of the receiver is upgrading.
Fast 󽗊ash:The receiver is waiting for binding or in the bind mode.
Slow 󽗊ash: The LED 󽗊ashes slowly when the receiver is not received the signal,
or losing signal.

2.Introduction Before Use
2.1 Transmitter Battery
You can AA batteries or 2S lithium batteries for this transmitter.
After the battery is installed, press and hold the power switch for seconds to turn on the transmitter.
2.2 Turn ON/OFF The Transmitter
2.3 LED
This LED is a multi-color indicator. It displays in a variety of colors such as red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, purple,
white, and dazzling colors. You may set it to none. In addition, you may set it to display the electricity level. The
brightness of LED can also be adjusted.
Note: If the throttle stick is not at its neutral position when the transmitter is powered on. A pop-up menu will
appear to remind you to put the throttle stick to neutral position and send a alarm sound.
The LED can be used to indicate the status of the transmitter or to give an alarm when the transmitter voltage is
low, as shown in the following table:
LED Color The Status Corresponding Status Note
Monochrome or dazzling color Gradual The transmitter's display is locked,
or the transmitter is in idle mode.
Monochrome or 7 color cycles in
sequence.
Red Solid ON The voltage of the transmitter is low.

󽗊ashing, and the buzzer will buzze to prompt.
2. When the system detectes the battery power of the boat is lower than 20%, a popo-up prompt for low voltage alarm
will be sent, meanwhile, and the boat will automatically return back to the starting place.

4.1 Boat Psn(Boat position)
4.2 Fish Spot Setting
4.3 Auto Home
4.4 Binding Setting
Use to display the position of the bait boat in real time, including the bathymetric data of
the current location, the temperature, and the distance between the current position and
the starting point. Ensure the transmitter and the receiver are connected normally and
the starting point is saved before enabling this function. This function is related to the
speci󽗉c protocol.
When this function is enabled, the bait boat will automatically start to return to the
starting point after the baiting is 󽗉nished at the 󽗉shing point. Note that the starting point
must be saved before enabling this function.
You can set [Start point] and [Fishing point] through this function. A total of 30 󽗉shing
points can be set. You can navigate from one 󽗉shing point to another. As a result, you can
start from the starting point and navigate to the 󽗉shing point automatically.
You can select [Manual] or [Auto]. When you select [Manual], the manual interface
appears, displaying the current boat direction and distance between the boat and 󽗉shing
point. The bait boat will approach the target 󽗉shing point through manual operation.
When you select [Auto], the bait boat automatically arrives at the 󽗉shing point saved
according to the direction de󽗉ned by the GPS. This function is related to the speci󽗉c
protocol.
It is used to complete the bind between the FS-ST8B transmitter and FS-Br01 receiver.
The transmitter supports two-way binding. The transmitter will display the information
returned from the receiver after the two-way binding is completed. In addition, the bind
settings (between the transmitter and receiver) has been completed before delivery from
the factory.
Note: The function is available only when the bait boat is enabled with the auto-cruise.
