1. Place the Surf Band securely on the wrist of your non-dominate hand.
2. To adjust the Power Wedge, press the UP ARROW to raise the Power Wedge. Press the DOWN ARROW to lower the Power
Wedge.
3. To adjust the Surf Gates, press the LEFT ARROW (<) above the word “Surf” to surf left (increase the wave on the left, or port, side
of the boat). Press the RIGHT ARROW (>) to surf right (increased the wave on the right, or starboard, side of the boat).
4. To increase the speed of the boat, press the UP ARROW above the word “Speed.” To reduce speed, press the DOWN ARROW.
The Surf Band will TEMPORARILY override the driver’s control of these elements of the boat
operation. However, you should be aware that the driver can always resume control of all aspects
at any time. Surfers should limit the amount of time spent looking at the wristband as prolonged
viewing away from the boat, wave, and surroundings could result in the surfer losing control and
falling from the surfboard. Injury could result.
The Surf Band communicates over a commonly used radio frequency. The command signals may
not be successfully sent or received when subjected to radiated interference from nearby high-
powered transmitters operating on the same frequency. The possibility of interference is minimal,
but it is unavoidable.
If the signal LED stops flashing with a button press, or communication becomes intermittent, replace the battery:
1. Rotate the battery cover counterclockwise one-eighth (1/8) of a turn with a coin or screwdriver until the cover arrow is aligned
with the unlocked symbol.
2. Remove the battery cover and the battery.
3. Assure the white o-ring cover seal remains intact.
4. Replace with a Panasonic CR2016 battery, text side up.
5. Reposition the battery cover and rotate clockwise one-eighth (1/8) turn to secure.
INVERTER
The optional inverter provides a plug-in for some electronic devices that cannot be plugged into the 12-volt receptacle. This
includes such items as televisions, computers, and other entertainment equipment. Bear in mind that the inverter runs off the battery.
Please review the battery information in this section of the Owner’s Manual.
Overuse of components plugged into the inverter can result in draining the battery to the point that
the battery will not start. Avoid this by periodically–and safely–keying ON the engine to recharge
the batteries.
Short Term: 450W (Five minutes output power)
Long Term: 360W (Continuous output power)
In-Rush: 700W (Surge output power)
ALARMS
The boat is equipped with several alarm systems. In general, an alarm sound is an indication that a potentially serious issue exists.
The low-voltage alarm functions when the battery system charge has fallen to a level that could result in the boat becoming unable to
continue the outing. The low-voltage alarm will be accompanied by an indication on the dash. Follow directions as they appear.
Sensors will also alert the boat operator when the oil pressure, engine and/or transmission temperatures are outside acceptable
parameters. All alarms should be taken seriously, and boaters should return to shore as soon as possible. Seek assistance from your
authorized Malibu dealer to determine the cause and solution to any problems that have been indicated.
