Thank you for purchasing your RC
Jet race Boat from RadioShack.
Your boat comes in two
frequencies (27MHz and 49MHz),
so you and your friends can race
together. The boat is equipped
with a fan for cooling the motor.
The automatic speed regulator
enables smooth steering.
This vessel sails at high speeds. Avoid
using it where people are swimming.
Caution: Immediately after recharging, the
boat runs at a higher speed than normal,
which can cause your boat to capsize
on choppy water. Maneuver your boat
carefully immediately after replacing the
battery.
Attach the antenna to your transmitter.
Thread the boat’s antenna wire through
the supplied antenna tube. Then, insert
the tube into the antenna tube holder.
Turn the latches on the boat to open the
battery compartment and turn on the
boat.
Place your boat in the water and use the
transmitter’s controls to operate it. Your

NOTES
• Do not use your boat near devices with transmitters
using the same frequency (27 or 49 MHz).
• Running your boat continuously for long periods
generates high heat levels, which cause wear and tear
on the motor. To help keep heat levels down, let the
boat cool at least 25 minutes before installing a fresh
battery pack.
• Keep your boat away from grass and debris that could
cause propeller damage.
• If your boat does not respond, drives slowly, or the
range reduces, recharge your battery pack.
• If your boat doesn’t respond after recharging, replace
the transmitter battery and check for propeller debris.
• If your boat slows down due to loss of battery power,
guide it to shore immediately so it won’t drift away.
• If your boat goes outside the transmitter’s range, it
stops. Hold your transmitter high above your head to
re-establish contact. If this doesn’t work, move closer
and try again. Do not wade into deep water.
• Never touch the propellers while they are spinning.
• Children must be supervised by adults when playing
with toys around water.
• Do not operate the transmitter with the battery
compartment open. The cooling fan in the boat starts
when you operate the transmitter.
