Turn on the transmitter and place the throttle stick to full power position (full up position).2. Energize the ESC by connecting the battery or power source to the speed controller. Fiveseconds after making the connection, you will hear a musical tone.3. Move the throttle stick to half throttle. You will then hear each parameters musical tone twice, witha 3 second delay between each.4. When you hear the tone to the parameter you want to change move the stick to full throttle. Thiswill allow you to set the parameters to your specifications. The following symbols indicate thedifferent main parameters with dashes representing number of tones? — Cell Type and Number? — — BRAKE? — — — TIMING MODE? — — — — Voltage ProtectionAfter you have selected which main parameter to change, you will enter the sub-parameters. Theprocedure for setting them is the same as above. You will hear each musical sequence twice foreach sub-parameter, and you will have three seconds between each sounding to move the throttleto full up position to save your choice. To confirm your choice you will hear a sharper tone indicating,this parameter has been saved. Below are the sub parameters for each of the above.1. Cell Number and Type.? — 2LIPO or NiMh/Nicd AUTO( 0.8V/CELL*? — — 3LIPO ( 2.75V/CELL)? — — — 4LIPO( 2.75V/CELL)? — — — — 5LIPO( 2.75V/CELL)2.

You will hear a long sharp BEEP, this tone indicates the option to be saved and the systemreturns to the programming menu. When you have finished all programming pull the throttle stick tofull down position, the speed control will make one final save of all settings and will arm the motor.You can now power up the motor!
