The FCC Wants You to Know
Your Wakeboard Boat needs the following for power (not supplied, available at your local RadioShack store
or online at www.radioshack.com).
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
•
At least one 9.6-volt rechargeable nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) or nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery pack
for the boat
•
•
One 9-volt battery for the transmitter
A battery pack charger
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
In the Transmitter
We recommend a RadioShack 9-volt alkaline battery.
1. Slide ON/OFF on the transmitter to OFF.
•
•
•
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Operation
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Sailing the Wakeboard Boat
1. Screw the antenna into the transmitter. For maximum range, hold the
transmitter as high as possible with the antenna fully extended and
pointing straight up.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screw on the battery
compartment cover, and then remove the cover.
Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your boat.
3. Put the battery in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols
(+ and -) marked inside.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RadioShack may cause interference and void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
2. Attach the wakeboards to the tower.
4. Replace the battery cover and secure it with the screw.
When the transmitter’s range decreases, replace its battery.
3. Rotate ON/OFF on the boat to ON, then put it in the water.

your fingers near the propellers when ON/OFF is set to ON.
3. Turn the latches (adjacent to the seats) on the battery compartment cover of the Wakeboard Boat
counterclockwise until they stop, and then lift the seat to remove the cover.
When the Wakeboard Boat goes outside the transmitter’s control
range, it stops. Hold the transmitter as high as possible with the
antenna vertical to try to re-establish contact. If you cannot, you must
move closer to the Wakeboard Boat to control it again, but be careful
not to wade into deep water.
Push left to turn the boat left and push right to turn the boat right, release to go straight.
4. Attach the battery pack’s connector to the Wakeboard Boat’s matching connector. Do not force them!
They fit together only one way.
When you finish sailing the boat, take it out of the water and set ON/OFF on the boat and the transmitter to
OFF.
After operating the boat, turn it upside down so the drain hole on the deck points toward the ground to drain
any water that may have entered the boat. Dry your boat thoroughly before you store it. Leave its battery
compartment cover open while in storage to allow any moisture to evaporate.
5. Carefully tuck the battery wire into the battery compartment. Then replace the seat and secure it by
turning the latches clockwise until they stop.
When the Wakeboard Boat moves slowly or not at all, change the 9.6V battery pack or recharge it according
to the battery charger’s instructions.

WARRANTIES AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN

Helpful Hints
recommended battery pack and charger.
•
Running your wakeboard boat continuously for long periods generates high heat levels. Heat causes
wear and tear on the motor. To help keep heat levels down, when your boat’s batteries die, let the boat
cool at least 10 minutes before installing a newly-charged battery pack.
•
If you do not plan to use the boat for ten days or
longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can damage electronic parts.
Do not charge or recharge the battery while it is
in the boat.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or
exclusions may not apply to you.
•
•
The boat is equipt with a bilge pump to automatically expel water from the boat when the boat turns left
or right.

In the event of a product defect during the warranty period, take the product and the RadioShack sales receipt as proof of purchase date to any RadioShack store. RadioShack
will, at its option, unless otherwise provided by law: (a) correct the defect by product repair without charge for parts and labor; (b) replace the product with one of the same or
similar design; or (c) refund the purchase price. All replaced parts and products, and products on which a refund is made, become the property of RadioShack. New or

Do not overcharge the battery. Overcharging
the battery pack might damage it.
Keep the boat away from grass growing in the water and other debris that could cause propeller
damage. These items can jam the boat’s propellers and stop them.
Do not recharge a battery pack immediately
after use (while it is still hot). Allow it to cool first.
Make sure the battery compartment cover is securely fastened to the boat before sailing.
When you disconnect the battery pack from the charger, do not pull on the connector’s wires. This might cause damage to the
battery.
This warranty does not cover: (a) damage or failure caused by or attributable to acts of God, abuse, accident, misuse, improper or abnormal usage, failure to follow instructions,
improper installation or maintenance, alteration, lightning or other incidence of excess voltage or current; (b) any repairs other than those provided by a RadioShack Authorized
Service Facility; (c) consumables such as fuses or batteries; (d) cosmetic damage; (e) transportation, shipping or insurance costs; or (f) costs of product removal, installation, set-
up service adjustment or reinstallation.
•
•
If the boat moves slowly and you have installed a fresh battery pack, check the propellers for debris.
•
