The GREEN lights on the controller will be ON. If a light is RED, you will need to BIND your controller to your boat (please see next page).

LiteHawk Whisper - Transmitter & Receiver Binding

The binding process effectively ties the transmitter and receiver together. Under normal circumstances, both items are supplied like this from the factory. If, however, you find that your transmitter and receiver are not bound (receiver’s red LED will turn on), you should do the following:
1. Make sure throttle stick (Left Stick) is in the bottom position, turn on the transmitter.
2. Carefully pull the receiver unit (which is in the front of the boat), so that you can see the BIND button.
3. Switch on receiver (BATTERY BOX IS TURNED ON - FRESH BATTERIES IN BATTERY BOX).
4. Press the BIND button. The receiver light will turn GREEN.
6. Replace the receiver in the boat along with the battery box.
7. Ensure the antennea wire is AWAY from batteries.

Sailing the LiteHawk Whisper

Your new LiteHawk Whisper presents an interesting challenge.
Sailing requires constant reaction to water movements, wind gusts and wind direction changes! This is important as you do not have an engine to drive your yacht, it is powered by wind only.
Your reactions now require adjustment of the rudder and sails in order to find the best possible course for your sailing adventure!
