Impulse 31

Checking the Radio System

CAuTION: Always keep all body parts, hair

and dangling or loose items away from the propeller

and fin, as these could become entangled.

NOTICE: Always power on the transmitter before

powering on the ESC. Always power off the ESC

before powering off the transmitter. Never transport

the boat with the battery connected to the ESC.

1. Turn the transmitter throttle and steering trim knobs

to the 10 o’clock position.

2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.

4. Power on the ESC and the boat will beep 5 times.
5. Ensure the rudder moves to the left when

the steering wheel is turned left.

6. Pull the throttle to full, then return the throttle to

neutral, ensuring the propeller turns counterclockwise.

Brushless boats have an over-rev limit that will not allow

you to hold full throttle when the propeller is not loaded

(out of the water).
If the over-rev limiter becomes engaged, rearm

the ESC by returning the throttle trigger to neutral.
The auto-sensing voltage cutoff will also engage when

the ESC detects low battery charge. If this occurs,

release the throttle and recharge the boat batteries.

failsafe

In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use,

the receiver will drive the servos to their preprogrammed

failsafe positions (normally no throttle and straight

steering). If the receiver is powered on before powering

on the transmitter, the receiver will enter failsafe mode,

driving the servos to their preset failsafe positions. When

the transmitter is powered on, normal control is resumed.

Failsafe servo positions are set during binding.
