The DockStar Smart Thruster installation varies from boat to boat. Make sure the Smart Thruster is properly installed

to handle the forces exerted on the Smart Thruster while deployed and while underway.

It is the boater's

responsibility to ensure the integrity of the installation on your boat.

The DockStar Smart Thruster should be mounted such that when the boat is cruising at speed no part of the Smart

Thruster is submerged even temporarily. This may require removing the Smart Thruster from its rail under some

sea conditions. Submersion at speed creates tremendous forces on the Smart Thruster and could lead to damaging

your boat or thruster.

The Smart Thruster is held up out of the water when retracted by the lanyard. Periodically inspect the lanyard

attached to the thruster. Immediately replace any frayed line in the lanyard.

Be careful when deploying the Smart Thruster so as not to let the thruster slide down the rail too fast. Should the

thruster be "dropped" down the rail the impact with the track stop could cause damage to the thruster or the boat.

The supplied battery charger limits its charging current to 4 Amps and is specifically designed to charge LiFePo

batteries. Do not use another charger that supplies more than 4 Amps or one that is not intended for LiFePo batteries.

Never submerge the Smart Thruster's faceplate. It is splash proof but not suitable for submersion.

Never submerge the Smart Thruster radio transmitter. It is neither splash proof nor waterproof.

Replace the radio transmitter battery every year, or more often if you are a frequent boater. A low transmitter

battery will result in unreliable communication with the Smart Thruster and could create a hazardous situation.

The Smart Thruster has a safety feature that inhibits the motor operation unless the Smart Thruster is deployed. A

sensor inside the Smart Thruster inhibits the motor controller unless a strong magnetic field is sensed. A magnet

assembly is located inside the installation kit's stainless tube.

The LED light in the On/Off button flashes on and off quickly to indicate the magnetic field is sensed. If this flashing

pattern should be observed at any time when the motor is not deployed, turn off the Smart Thruster and do not use

it until the problem is resolved.

Never place a magnet near the Smart Thruster when it is not deployed. This may allow for accidentally turning the

thruster on.

Prior to deploying the Smart Thruster each time, verify that the Smart Thruster is at least 50% charged by observing

the status LED in the On/Off button. Please refer to the sections below for how to interpret the LED flashing pattern.

Each time the thruster is deployed, verify its operation to both starboard and port prior to entering confined space

or prior to leaving the dock if undocking.

The Smart Thruster's radio is a modern remote control device certified to FCC requirements. It uses a frequency

band assigned to remote control applications. The FCC keeps this frequency clear by limiting the permissible power

of certified devices. However, it is still possible under some situations for there may be sufficient energy on this

frequency as to interfere with the communication with the Smart Thruster. If you detect communication problems

between the transmitter and the Smart Thruster, retract the thruster and turn it off until the problem can be resolved.

The transmitter can be assigned one of 255 different codes (see the "pairing" instructions below). The Smart Thruster

must be paired with the transmitter as described in this manual prior to use. If the Smart Thruster is responding to

transmissions from some other device, turn off the Smart Thruster. Try selecting a different code and pair the

thruster with the radio transmitter again. If the problem persists, discontinue all use of the Thruster until the problem

can be resolved.
