Impulse 9 • Blackjack 9
Checking the Radio System
CAuTION:
Always keep all body parts,
hair and dangling or loose items away from
a spinning propeller, 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. The boat will beep 3 times.
5. Ensure the rudder moves in the proper direction
when the steering wheel is moved left or right.
6. Pull the throttle to full, then return the throttle to
neutral, ensuring the propeller turns counterclockwise.
The auto-sensing voltage cutoff will also engage when
the ESC detects a low battery charge. Release the
throttle and recharge the battery.

Binding
failsafe
In the unlikely event that the radio connection is lost
during use (possibly due to low transmitter batteries
or distance between the receiver and transmitter), the
receiver will hold the rudder at the last command with
no throttle.
If the receiver is powered on before powering on the
transmitter, the receiver will enter this failsafe mode.
When the transmitter is powered on, normal control is
resumed.
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to
recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a
single specific transmitter. The included transmitter and
receiver are bound at the factory. If you need to rebind,
follow the instructions below.
1. Power off the transmitter and ESC.
2. Connect a fully charged battery
pack to the ESC.
3. Press and hold the bind button while
powering up the ESC. After 2 seconds
the ESC will be in bind mode.
4. Release the bind button and power
on transmitter.
5. Binding is complete when you hear
three beeps from the ESC.
You must rebind when binding the
receiver to a different transmitter.
NOTICE:
Do not attempt to bind the transmitter
and receiver if there are other compatible
transmitters in bind mode within 400 feet. Doing so
may result in unexpected binding.
A
Trim Tab Adjustment
Ensure the trim tab panels are parallel to the bottom
of the Impulse hull and a few degrees down on the
Blackjack hull. You may desire to bend the trim tabs for
wind and water conditions. To adjust the angle of the trim
tabs, use a large pair of pliers to bend the tabs. This must
be done carefully so that you do not damage the hull.
