If you purchased our Wizard version of the PowerDolphin, you would get the controller. Your controller will automatically link with the boat after turning on both the boat and controller for around 10 seconds. The controller's flashing light will become a steady light after successfully linked.
On your smart phone, you can use Vision+2 app to operate the PowerDolphin and see the live view of the camera. If this is your first time using our product, please register your account using this walk-through.
There are two different connections to connect your smart phone with the PowerDolphin.
Note: if you are T-Mobile user with iPhone devices, please refer to this article for connection tutorial. DO NOT follow the following instructions.
