VolantexRC Vector Series Owner's Manual - Getting Started

Getting Started
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Connect the battery.
3. Test the transmitter’s control of the boat with the boat on the display stand.
4. After launching the boat in the water, start driving slowly. If the boat does
not go straight, adjust the trimer on the transmitter to run it straight.
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 rudder trim to the middle position.
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.
5. Ensure the rudder moves in the proper direction when the controller is moved
left or right.
6. Pull the throttle to full, then return the throttle to neutral, ensuring the propeller
turns counterclockwise. The ESC auto-sensing voltage cutoff will engage when
the ESC detects a low battery charge. Release the throttle and recharge the
battery when necessary.
Testing Your Boat in the Water
1. Carefully place the boat in the water.
2. Operate the boat at slow speeds near the shoreline. Avoid objects in the water
at all times.
3. Once you are comfortable operating the boat at slow speeds, it is safe to
operate the boat farther from the shore.
Tip: If you are using too much steering trim on your transmitter to make the
boat drive straight, return the trim to neutral and mechanically center the rudder.
To do this, loosen the ball link from the rudder horn, then turn the ball link on
the linkage threads until the rudder is properly centered.
4. Bring the boat back to shore when you notice the boat starting to lose speed.
