the battery compartment.
4 ChargINg The SUBMarINe
Attention: The battery and motor must cool down for 15 to 20 minutes before
charging and after each dive. Otherwise they can be damaged. The
charging process must be constantly monitored. Always ensure that
the charging process takes place on a fireproof surface in a fire-resistant
environment.
• Switch off the submarine and the remote control (4A).
• Connect the charging cable to the remote control (4B).
• Open the switch cover on the model. Carefully insert the charging cable in the charge
socket – pay attention to the guide slot on the plug! The plug must be gently inserted
in the charge socket – DO NOT USE FORCE. If the plug is not correctly inserted in the
charge socket, the submarine can be damaged and may, under certain circumstances,
lead to injury (4C).
• Switch on the remote control. Die Power LED begins blinking red (4D).
• As soon as the Power LED goes out, the charging process is complete.
• The charging process lasts approx. 40 minutes and must be continuously monitored.
• Disconnect the submarine from the charging cable and disconnect the charging cable
from the remote control after the charging is completed.
After a charge time of approx. 40 minutes the submarine can sail for
approx. 40 minutes.
Warning notice: The LiPo battery heats up while charging. If it should become hot
and/or changes to the surface begin to appear, immediately discontinue
the charging process!

Important: Always switch on the transmitter before the model. When switching off,
always switch off the model before the transmitter.
• Set the control switch of the remote control to the "ON" position; the Power LED
illuminates green (5A).
• The model has no separate switch; it is switched on when the switch cover is closed
(5B). Close the switch cover completely; the red and green LEDs on the submarine
illuminate.
• Fully extend the antenna on the remote control.
• Place the submarine in the water. Now briefly submerge it in the water and shake it
to remove all the air bubbles attached to the submarine. Now you are ready to sail.
Important: There should be no air bubbles on the submarine! These bubbles give the
submarine unwanted extra buoyancy and may prevent it from diving. Shake off these
bubbles to ensure that it operates properly underwater!

6C To sail along a left-handed curve,
carefully move the directional control
to the left, as long as the rear of
the submarine is facing toward the
operator.
Note: The diving function is used to set the fill level of the diving tanks. When
water runs into the tank, the model loses its buoyancy and begins to submerge.
It resurfaces when this procedure is reversed. The model rises and sinks at different
speeds depending on how full the tanks are.
Attention! Water considerably diminishes the signal from the remote control. To
ensure that the connection between the remote control and submarine is not lost,
do not dive any deeper than 50 cm.
7A To dive, press the dive button.

pull the control back carefully.

of the submarine is facing toward the
operator.
