Installing the Batteries

The PRB8060 radio system requires 4 AA alkaline batteries for operation. Many

drivers prefer alkaline batteries over rechargeable batteries finding it more convenient

to simply replace the batteries when depleted rather than taking the time to recharge.
To install the batteries:
Remove the battery door and install 4 AA batteries observing the polarity marked in

the battery compartment.

Replace the battery door.

Receiver Compatibility

The Pro Boat pistol-grip transmitter features Marine technology and is compatible with

Spektrum marine receivers.

Note: The Pro Boat pistol-grip transmitter is not compatible with Spektrum

DSM or DSM2 surface receivers.

Marine-compatible transmitters can be identified by the following logo on the back.

Binding a Receiver

With the receiver off insert the bind plug into the bind (BD) port on

the receiver.

Power the receiver through any other port. The amber LED will flash

continuously, indicating the receiver is in bind mode.

Note: To bind a boat with an electronic speed controller that powers the

receiver through the throttle channel (ESC/BEC), insert the bind

plug into the BD port in the receiver and the throttle lead into the

throttle (TH) port.

With the steering wheel and throttle trigger in the desired preset failsafe

positions, turn on the transmitter. The LED on the back of the

transmitter with a translucent cover will flash indicating the transmitter is in

bind mode.

LED

Within 15 seconds, the LED on the receiver will go solid indicating a

successful bind has taken place.

Remove the bind plug and store it in a convenient place.

Note: You must rebind when different failsafe positions are desired, e.g. when

throttle or steering reversing has been changed.
