Once this battery is depleted, please replace it with another dry cell 9V battery (alkaline recommended) or fully charged 9V rechargeable battery. Remove 9V battery from the transmitter if you do not intend to use it for a period of time.NOTE 2: When the transmitter battery (dry cell or rechargeable) is at the end of its life, it should be disposed of at an approved battery recycling centre. DO NOT DISPOSE OF IT IN HOUSEHOLDWASTE!CHARGING THE 7.2V POWER PACK1) Plug the supplied charger into a mains outlet socket.2) Connect 7.2V Power Pack to charger as indicated. Do not force the connectors together - they only attach one way!3) The 7.2V Power Pack will charge from flat in just over 1 hour. Do not overcharge. Do not leave 7.2V Power Pack and charger unattended when charging.•The 7.2V Power Pack is not supplied pre-charged and you must charge it fully before using your Magic Vee for the first time.•The 7.2V Power Pack and charger will get warm whilst charging. This is normal. Do not charge on, or near to, a material/surface that is flammable or one that can be damaged by heat.•The 7.2V Power Pack can be re-charged many times before it needs replacing. When the 7.2V Power Pack no longer holds a charge (is dead), it should be properly recycled.DO NOT DISPOSE OF IT IN HOUSEHOLD WASTE!NOTE 1: The Magic Vee will typically run for around 8 minutes on a fully charged 7.2V Power Pack. As soon as you notice a drop off in speed you should bring the model back to shore or control may be lost.NOTE 2: If you want to run your Magic Vee for extended periods, you can purchase additional 7.2V Power Packs. Details are given at the end of these Instructions. However, continuous running of the model will generate high heat levels, which will lead to premature wear of the motor. Once your power pack is exhausted, we recommend that you let the model cool down for 5~10 minutes before installing a fresh power pack.121‘OFF’2 69V Battery435

Release the trigger and the Magic Vee will stop.2) Left/Right Steering WheelThe steering wheel controls the Magic Vee’s left and right movement. Turn the wheel to the left to steer to the left. Turn the wheel to the right to steer to the right. Release the wheel to go straight.Racing Tip: The Magic Vee is an oval racer, designed for clockwise racing, and will be less responsive to steering inputs at high speed, particularly left turns. Decrease your speed to allow tighter turning.TURN FINS12The Magic Vee features adjustable turn fins to aid in turning. These can be adjusted using the included Allen key. The optimum angle of adjustment is 45 degrees to the hull.
4 Magic Vee RTR Micro EP Speed BoatDRIVING YOUR MAGIC VEE1) Extend the transmitter’s aerial to its full length and switch ‘ON’ the transmitter. Check that the transmitter’s red LED glows brightly.2) Check that the turn fins are adjusted correctly.3) Switch ‘ON’ the Magic Vee (connect the 7.2V Power Pack).4) Check that the propeller and the rudder respond to transmitter inputs before placing the Magic Vee on the water.AFTER USE1) When you have finished using your Magic Vee, you should first switch ‘OFF’ the model (disconnect the 7.2V Power Pack), then switch ‘OFF’ your transmitter, and carefully retract the transmitter aerial.•Retract the transmitter aerial by pulling down from near its base, not by pushing down from its tip. 2) Remove all batteries from the transmitter and model.3) Leave the Magic Vee’s upper deck and clear plastic cover off to allow moisture to evaporate. Ideally, place the model in this way in a warm and dry place, like an airing cupboard, until you are sure it is dry and then store it away.NOTE: If the Magic Vee begins to bob when running, it may have taken on an excessive amount of water. In this case, you should immediately return to shore, remove the upper deck and clear plastic cover and drain the water from the hull.IF THE MAGIC VEE DOES NOT RUN IN A STRAIGHT LINEIf your Magic Vee does not run in a straight line when not being steered, you can adjust it by using the steering trim located on the upper right hand side of the transmitter.1) Run your Magic Vee on calm water when adjusting the steering. If your model runs to the right when not being steered, turn the trim control knob a little to the left, re-centre the model and see if this has corrected the problem. Keep making small adjustments in this way until the model runs straight. Turn the trim knob to the right to correct if your model steers to the left without being steered in the same way as detailed above.2) You can also adjust the Magic Vee’s throttle response using the Throttle Trim, located under the Steering Trim on the transmitter.If, when you connect the 7.2V Power Pack, the Magic Vee’s propeller starts turning without transmitter input, you can adjust it back to neutral (stopped) by turning the Throttle Trim knob to the left. You should adjust this trim so that the propeller starts to turn as soon as you depress the transmitter’s trigger, but the propeller stops turning immediately the trigger is released.Steering Trim KnobThrottle Trim Knob
