Checking The Radio System; Binding - ProBoat Impulse 17 Owner's Manual

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.

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.

2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.
4. Power on the ESC. The boat will beep 5 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.

unexpected binding.
