Understanding Your Transmitter

To help you better understand your transmitter and its functions, 

here is a picture outlying the operation features.

SERVO REVERSING AND RECEIVER ASSIGNMENTS

CH 1 = Steering (right stick, left and right)
CH 2 = AUX 2 (momentary switch)
CH 3 = Throttle (left stick, up and down)
CH 4 = AUX 1 (left stick, left and right)

Assembly Sequence

INSTALLING THE TRANSMITTER BATTERIES

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 

The transmitter is not water resistant

 and 

should never come in contact with water! 

Slide off the battery door from the back of the transmitter and 

install 4“AA” batteries into the transmitter in the configuration 
molded into the battery floor. Reinstall the battery door.

Turn the transmitter “ON” by shifting the power on switch to the 

up position. The battery indicator light (LED) should glow red. 
If the light is flashing and the transmitter beeping, the batteries 
might be installed incorrectly or are low and need to be replaced.

CHECK THE RADIO SYSTEM

1.

 Turn on the TX.

2.

 Turn on the ESC. It will beep once to confirm it has 

power, then it will pause for 1 second and beep again to 
confirm it is armed.

3.

 Stand behind the boat and move the rudder stick to 

the left. The back of the rudder should move to the left. If 
not, flip the CH 1 servo reversing switch to the opposite 
position and check again.

4.

 Let go of the rudder stick. The rudder should return to 

center (pointing straight). If not, adjust the rudder trim.

ASSEMBLE THE MASTS

Remove the cabin house by lifting it carefully and moving it to 
the side. A set of hooks and rubber bands are used to secure 
the cabin. Detach them. Move it away for now to avoid the 
clutter and any possibility of damage during the next steps.

Remove the mast assemblies from the carton. Take care in 
moving these parts around to avoid tangling the lines. If you 
need any help you can always call Product Support or refer 
to pictures on the AquaCraft Models website.
