First connect the Carrera RC rechargeable
battery to the battery charger supplied. The
connection terminals between the battery
and the charger 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 disconnected 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.
Using a screwdriver, remove the cover of the
battery 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 screwdriver.
Unscrew the cover of the battery compart-
ment in the controller and insert the 9 V
block battery.
When inserting the 9 V block battery, ensure
that the polarity is correct. Replace the cover
using a screwdriver.
Now you can drive the boat

Let's practise!
20km/h

Note: when the controller remains unused for more than 2 minutes, it switches automati-
cally into "sleep" mode to avoid wasting power in the controller's 9 V battery.
This means the boat receives no more radio signals and behaves as described under
point 5 on page 11 "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 fullycharged batteries, a pause in running for at least 20 minutes is essen
tial.
• 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.

Pull out the antenna of the controller to
its full extent.
Switch on the Carrera RC-controller at
the ON/OFF switch.
Switch on the Carrera RC boat using
the ON/OFF switch.
Caution: this boat can reach speeds
up to 20 km/h.
When first starting, be very careful
when operating the gas pedal. Practice
running slowly for at least two to three
full charges of the battery before you
start practising faster manoeuvres.
