[. . . ] WARNING: For your safety, when checking the startup function of the ESC or making programming changes, please remove the propeller to prevent any potential injury. You should always treat the motor and propeller as live and dangerous, remembering it could start at any time, and keep any body parts, clothing and tools clear of the propeller arc. NEVER LEAVE THE BATTERY CONNECTED WHEN NOT FLYING THE AIRCRAFT AND ALWAYS REMOVE THE BATTERY FROM THE MODEL BEFORE CHARGING AND WHEN FINISHED FLYING. When flying in hot weather, we recommend checking on the condition of the ESC, battery, and motor after each flight. You may want to consider letting the electronic components cool to near ambient temperature between flights. We also recommend throttle management when running near maximum levels of current draw during extreme conditions. If this is done, it is possible to cause permanent damage to your motor, battery, and ESC. cutoff, helping you to confirm the setting before every flight. Proper air cooling is required during flights so the ESC should be placed in an area where air flows over the controller. · PWM Frequency set at 8KHz · Operating Mode set to normal (airplane) Entering the Programming Mode 1. With the battery disconnected from the controller, and the transmitter turned on, first move the throttle stick to full throttle (>1. 7ms) position. Leave it in this position and then connect the battery to the controller. Wait for 5 seconds, and the ESC will give two sets of fast ringing tones to indicate you have successfully entered the programming mode. Once you hear these tones, move the stick to center (between 1. 4 and 1. 7ms) for 5 seconds, and the controller will beep 1 time, indicating you are now in Menu 1. The controller will now wait 5 seconds for you to make your selection; your programming options are either full throttle (>1. 7ms) or idle (<1. 3ms). When you have made a valid selection, the control will beep once with a lower tone, and you can move the stick back to center for the next menu item (2 beeps, 3 beeps and so on). If you do not make a selection within 5 seconds, the controller will move to the next menu item. If you want to make changes in the programming menus (see specific instructions below) move the throttle stick to full throttle (>1. 7ms) position. If you want to advance to the next menu, allow the programming to skip to the next menu after the 5 seconds have expired. Connecting the ESC to the Motor The three wires from the motor connect to the three female gold bullet connectors on the ESC. The order of connection to the motor is not important; any motor wire can be plugged into any connector. If the motor runs backwards, you can simply unplug and switch any two of the motor wire plugs connected to the ESC. Mounting the ESC Choose a location that has good airflow and offers good protection. Do not cover the side with the flat heat shield with hook and loop or tape as this will greatly reduce its effectiveness. Mount the ESC with a combination of hook and loop, 2-sided foam tape, and/or tie wraps. Turn on your transmitter and ensure the position of the throttle stick is set to Idle/Off.
