Turn the transmitter on using the switch on the front. The red
LED above the ON/OFF switch should light up. If the LED
does not light, turn the transmitter off and check that the
batteries are installed properly. If you see a fl ashing LED,
the batteries are low and need to be replaced.
CHECK THE RADIO SYSTEM

2. Turn on the ESC. It will beep once to confi rm it has power,
then it will pause for 1 second and beep again to confi rm it
is armed.
3. Stand behind the boat and move the rudder side stick to the
left. The back of the rudder should move to the left. If not fl ip
the #1 servo reversing lever (located under the rudder stick)
to the opposite position and check again.
4. Let go of the rudder stick. The rudder should return to center
(pointing straight). If not adjust the rudder trim using the lever
located under the rudder stick.
Before Launching Your Rescue 17
● NEVER attempt to swim after a stalled or capsized boat!
Wait patiently for the currents to return the boat to shore.
● R/C models produce vibrations which can cause screws on
your model to become loose over time. It is important to
make sure that all hardware is secure before operating
your model.
● The edges of the propeller are sharp and can cut your
fi ngers if you are not careful. At no time should you ever
attempt to stop the prop with your hand. In the event that
weeds become entangled in the propeller, turn the Rescue
17’s power off and unplug the battery before attempting to
remove them.
● CAUTION: Your Rescue 17 may take on small amounts of
water. Keep a roll of paper towels handy and dry out the
hull interior after every run.
● Total run time of the Rescue 17 is approximately 10-15
minutes (begin with a fully charged battery pack). When
you notice a decrease in power the ESC has reached its
low voltage cutoff point and it’s time to head for shore. As
soon as the boat reaches shore, turn off the power to the
boat’s receiver and transmitter (in that order) and unplug
the battery.
● After running, store your Rescue 17 with the hatches opened
to allow the interior to dry out completely.
IMPORTANT! If, for whatever reason, your boat takes on a
large amount of water causing the radio equipment to get wet,
you must do the following immediately: Remove the battery
and radio equipment from the boat. Allow the components
to air dry completely before reassembling. Reinstall the
components and check for proper operation.
