Your R/C Cyber Ray can dive up to 8 feet below the surface 
of the water and has full directional steering functions.  It 
has a range of approximately 50 feet.  The controller is water 
resistant up to 3 feet deep.  This allows you to swim along 
and control your RC Cyber Ray from below the surface of the 
water.  It has an underwater range of approximately 6 feet.

Controller uses:
1-9V alkaline battery (not included)
RC Cyber Ray uses: 4-AA alkaline batteries (not included) or
rechargeable NiMH battery (not included)

HOW TO CHARGE/RECHARGE NiMH 
BATTERY
1. Insert charger plug into side of the 
rechargeable battery.
2. Plug in the power supply into the 
115V-120V wallm socket.
3. New NiMH battery pack is not

hours before 1st use. 4 hours, thereafter.
 
Note: Any batteries purchased for use in 
this toy may pose a hazard to children. 
Please check safety notice supplied 
with batteries before use. Make sure the 
battery is completely dry before

Warning: Dispose of batteries promptly 
and properly; do not bury or burn them.

Cautions:
• Batteries to be installed by adults only.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size 
and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different 
types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or 
rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of 
different capacities.
• After each use, remove all batteries from 
the product, and drain any water that has 
accumulated inside. Moisture allowed to 
remain inside the product will damage the 
electronic components
and batteries. Store the product with the 
battery compartment door open to allow it 
to dry completely. 
• Change batteries in dry area.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.After the RC Cyber Ray is fully charged or new batteries are installed in both the RC Cyber Ray and the controller, activate the RC Cyber 
Ray by pressing the button located on the bottom next to the battery box. (the light will turn on to indicate it is in the “on” position).  
2.Activate controller by pressing the button located in the middle (light will turn on) 
3.Gently place RC Cyber Ray in the water and begin to operate.
4.Push left and right levers on top of the controller to propel the RC Cyber Ray forward and backward. 
5.These levers control the propellers in the back of the RC Cyber Ray. Each propeller operates independent of the other and can move 
forward and reverse.
6.Push the levers on the bottom of the controller back and forth to tilt the propeller up and down.  This allows the RC Cyber Ray to dive up 
and down, twist, turn do full loops and barrel rolls through the water.  
    a.To barrel roll, put one propeller up and one propeller down and have propellers moving forward.  Lower the RC Cyber Ray below the
    surface of the water.  The RC Cyber will barrel roll as it propels through the water.        
    b.To do full loops, tilt the props in the same directions, either both up or down, with the propellers in the forward motion and have the    
    RC Cyber Ray dive.  It will complete a full loop.
    

HELPFUL HINTS
• Fragile! Handle with care. Do not drop! Do not drop in water.
• Do not pick up RC Cyber Ray by the tail or propellers.
• Do not leave on the floor to avoid stepping or falling on the RC Cyber Ray accidentally.
• After use, open battery compartment and wipe the batteries dry and the inside of the battery box (for both the RC Cyber Ray and the 
Controller). If water is found in the first use, try lubricating the rubber seals using petroleum jelly or equivalent.
• After each use, wash off RC Cyber Ray and the Controller with faucet water and then drain all the water on the inside by tilting it in 
different directions.  Do not shake to get rid of water.
• Before recharging your battery, make sure the rechargeable battery is completely dry.
• This product is designed for swimming pools only. Do not use the RC Cyber Ray in strong currents or in any body of water with large 
waves.
• Never touch or put your fingers near the propellers while they are spinning.
• Always turn on the Controller first, then the RC Cyber Ray.
