Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting accidently.
4. If two Boats with the same radio frequency are used (both with the same numbers on the Transmitter and/or Receiver), they must be at least 1640’ away from one another in order to maintain adequate transmission control. 5. Before using in the water perform a distance check to be certain that you can maintain radio control at least 25’ from Transmitter to Boat with the Antenna collapsed. 6.
