Battery Charger

NOTICE: Never charge a battery in the boat or damage may result.

1. Plug the USB end of the charging cable into any USB charging port, such as a USB port on a computer.

2. Connect the battery to the small end of the charging cable so that it clicks into place.

3. The LED indicator on the charging cable will light solid red to indicate the battery is charging.

4. The LED will turn off indicating the battery has completed charging.

5. When ﬁ nished charging, discontent the battery from the charger.

Transmitter and Boat Pairing (Binding)

1. Power on the transmitter. A single beep will sound

and the Transmitter power LED will ﬂ ash.

2. Place the boat (with battery installed and

connected) into the water.

3. The boat will automatically power on when it

contacts the water and beep three times.

4. The transmitter power LED will glow solid indicating

successful binding.

5. The boat and transmitter are now ready to operate.

Tip: Your React

™

17 Deep-V includes two features to

make your boating experience even more worry free.

1. A low-voltage alarm that signals when your boat

battery is nearly discharged. When your transmitter

starts to beep you have about one minute of runtime remaining to return your boat to shore for safe retrieval

before the ESC Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) stops boat operation to protect the battery from over discharge.

2. Then your boat is nearing the end of its radio range the transmitter power LED with start to ﬂ ash signaling that

you need to return your boat to an operation range closer to the driver.

Getting Started

1. Install 4 AA batteries into the transmitter.

2. Remove the canopy from the hull by rotating the canopy latch

to the left or right and pulling up on the back of the canopy.

3. Install the fully charged battery in the compartment by

securing it into the battery clip with the battery cable

toward the front of the boat.

4. Power on the transmitter.

5. Connect the battery to the ESC/Receiver.

6. Install the canopy on the hull.

7. Keep the throttle at neutral and place the boat into the water.

Three beeps will sound, indicating the boat is powered on.

Range Check

IMPORTANT: Perform a range check at the beginning of each boating session, after repair or after installation

of new batteries.

Ensure that all batteries are fully charged.

1. With the radio system powered on and connected, walk away from your boat 90 feet (32 m).

2. Have an assistant remain with the boat to check for proper control movement of the rudder in response to

your transmitter input.

3. If everything appears to be operating correctly, prepare to operate the boat in the water.

NOTICE: Do not operate the motor without water cooling circulation or damage may result.

When You Are Finished

1. Power off the boat.

2. Power off the transmitter.

3. Disconnect and remove the battery from the boat.

NOTICE: Disconnect and remove the Li-Ion battery from the boat after use to prevent trickle discharge. Charge

your Li-Ion battery to about half capacity before storage. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not

fall below 3V per cell. Low Voltage Cutoff does not prevent the battery from over discharge during storage.

Tip: Always remove the canopy before storage or moisture may allow mold and mildew to grow in the boat.

• Fully dry the inside and outside of the boat, including the water cooling lines.

• Remove the hatch before storing your boat

• Repair any damage or wear to the boat

• Lubricate the drive shaft using Dynamite

Marine Grease (DYNE4200)

NOTICE: When you are ﬁ nished boating, never leave the boat in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such

as a car. Doing so can damage the boat.

NOTICE: Running the boat in saltwater could cause some parts to corrode. If you run the boat in saltwater, rinse

it thoroughly in freshwater after each use and lubricate the drive system.

NOTICE: Because of its corrosive effects, running RC boats in saltwater is at the discretion of the modeler.
