Charging the rechargeable battery

First connect the Carrera RC rechargeable bat-

tery to the battery charger supplied. The connec-

tion terminals between the battery and the charg-

er are designed to prevent connection with the

wrong polarity. Connect the charger to a power

source.

When the battery is properly connected and

charging normally, the red LED is constantly lit.

Once the battery is fully charged, the red LED

switches to green. The battery can now be dis-

connected and installed in the Carrera RC boat.

The boat is now ready for use.

After use, the battery must be allowed to cool

down for at least 20 minutes before it can be

fully recharged. Failure to observe this pause may

damage the battery.

Always recharge the battery immediately after

use to prevent its becoming deep discharged.

Recharge the battery occasionally (suggested

every 2-3 months). Failure to treat the battery

as described above can lead to its becoming

defective. Rechargeable batteries are only to

be charged by adults.

Installing the rechargeable battery

Using a screwdriver, remove the cover of the bat-

tery compartment in the Carrera RC boat.

Connect the end of the cable from the Carrera RC

boat with the charged battery. Put the battery in

place.

Replace the compartment cover using a screw-

driver.

Inserting the 9 V block battery

Unscrew the cover of the battery compartment in

the controller and insert the 9 V block battery.

When inserting the 9 V block battery, ensure that

the polarity is correct. Diﬀerent types of batteries

or new and used batteries are not to be mixed.

Replace the cover using a screwdriver.

Now you can drive the boat

The Carrera RC boat and the controller are con-

nected with each other at the factory. Should

there be any communication problems at the start

between the Carrera RC vehicle and the control-

ler, please carry out a reconnection.

Switch the car on.

Press the “Binding” button on the back of the con-

troller and hold it down while switching on (A).

The LED on the controller begins to ﬂash.

After a few seconds if binding is successful, the

LEDs on the car and the controller will light again

continuously.

Let’s practise!

Caution: this boat can reach speeds up to

20 km/h.

When ﬁrst starting, be very careful when operat-

ing the gas pedal. Practice running slowly for at

least two to three full charges of the battery before

you start practising faster manoeuvres.

Note: when the controller remains unused for

more than 5 minutes, it switches automatically into

“sleep” mode to avoid wasting power in the con-

troller’s 9 V battery.

This means the boat receives no more radio sig-

nals and behaves as described under point 15

“Range control”.

• Bring the boat back to the bank after about

20 minutes to change the battery

• Never run more than 2 batteries down one

after the other. After running down two fully-

charged batteries, a pause in running for at

least 20 minutes is essential.

• Avoid constant motor operation.

• If the model switches itself oﬀ several times

in quick succession, the battery is

dead. Please recharge the battery.

• To switch oﬀ after use, follow the steps in

the reverse order.

• After use, remove or disconnect the battery.

• Clean the Carrera RC boat after the running

session.

• Always keep the Carrera RC battery stored

outside the boat.

Controller functions

You can steer the model in any direction using the

joysticks:

Joystick on left: forwards/backwards

Joystick on right: left/right

The joysticks are removable.

Alternatively, the model can be controlled with the

rockers. The joysticks can be stored in the special

compartment at the back of the controller.

Thanks to 2.4 GHz technology, up to 16 boats can

be operated on one course at the same time. This

is possible even without harmonising frequencies

between the racing drivers.

Attach the lanyard to the eyelet on the controller

and let the controller hang from your neck. Then

plug the microphone in to the controller and fasten

it to the carrying strap with the clip.

Caution! Danger of strangulation!

Range control

When it goes beyond the range of the radio fre-

quency, or the controller is not touched for over 5

minutes, the boat sails in small but ever-increasing

circles to try to regain the radio frequency range.

Make sure you operate the controller once if nec-

essary to deactivate the “sleep” mode. See 10.

„Let‘s get some practice“.

Boat‘s horn / Loudspeaker

The boat‘s horn is sounded when you press the

left-hand button on the controller.

You can make an announcement over the boat’s

loudspeaker by pressing the right-hand button on

the controller while speaking into the microphone.

Acoustic battery condition moni-

toring

When the boat battery is almost empty,

the status LED next to the ON/OFF-switch

will start to ﬂash regularly. The boat’s horn

sounds several times, and the boat stops

brieﬂy. Then the boat will restart, and travel at

only about 40 % of its normal speed until the

battery’s ﬁnal voltage is reached.

Please head for the shore immediately and

change the battery.
