Miss Geico 29

Failsafe

In the unlikely event that the radio connection is lost

during use, the receiver will drive the servos to their

preprogrammed failsafe positions (normally no throttle

and straight steering). If the receiver is powered on

before powering on the transmitter, the receiver will

enter failsafe mode, driving the servos to their preset

failsafe positions. When the transmitter is powered on,

normal control is resumed. Failsafe servo positions are

set during binding.

Checking the Radio System

CAUTION: Always keep all body parts, hair

and dangling or loose items away from a spinning

propeller, as these could become entangled.

NOTICE: Always power on the transmitter before

powering on the ESC. Always power off the ESC

before powering off the transmitter. Never transport

the boat with the battery connected to the ESC.

1. Turn the transmitter throttle and steering trim knobs

to the 10 o’clock position.

2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.
4. Power on the ESC switch. The boat will

beep 5 times.

5. Ensure the rudder moves in the proper direction

when the steering wheel is moved left or right.

6. Pull the throttle to full, then return the throttle to

neutral, ensuring the propeller turns counterclockwise.

The auto-sensing voltage cutoff will also engage when

the ESC detects low battery charge. Release the throttle

and recharge the battery.

Getting Started
