The grey values are the basic settings performed by the manufacturer at the time these operating instruc-
tionsweredrawnup.Thespeedcontrollerofyourvehiclemayhaveadifferentbasicsetting;observethe

Description of the setting functions:
• Function #1, green LED ashes 1x short: Drive function
In this settings menu the speed controller unit can be switched between two driving functions „forwards/brake“ and
„forwards/brake/reverse“.
Thesetting„Forward/brake“candeactivatereversedriving;thisisfrequentlyrequiredincompetitions.
• Function #2, green LED, ashes 2x short: Motor brake
If you reduce the throttle at the transmitter or move back the throttle/brake lever into the neutral position, the vehicle
willslowdownautomatically.Theeffectisthusexactlylikethatofthemotor-brakingfunctionina„real“carwhen
you release the throttle pedal without stepping on the brake pedal.
This also corresponds to the brake function of a conventional electric motor (a brushless electrical motor does not
have any strong magnets that brake the rotor).
• Function #3, green LED ashes 3x short: Undervoltage protection
If LiPo rechargeable batteries are used, then you must ensure that the low-voltage protection is activated (we
recommend at least 3.0 V per cell). When operating a LiPo battery without undervoltage protection, the LiPo battery
is permanently damaged by deep discharge!
Ifthespeedcontrollermeasuresabatteryvoltageof6.0Vina2-cellLiPobattery(fullychargedapprox.8.4V)and
a deactivation voltage of 3.0 V/cell, it switches off the motor to avoid deep discharge of the LiPo battery.
When using am NiMH-drive battery, deactivate the undervoltage recognition. Alternatively, you can set the
undervoltage protection to 2.6 V/cell.
When the voltage of a NiMH-/NiCd drive battery is below 9 V after switching on the speed controller, the speed
controllerinterpretsthisasa2-cellLiPobattery.Deactivationwouldthenhappenat5.2V(2x2.6V).
If the voltage of a 6-cell NiMH/NiCd-speed battery is about 9 V (e.g. for rechargeable batteries with a relatively
high voltage position or battery that have just been charged), the speed controller will interpret this as a 3-cell LiPo
battery.Deactivationwouldthenhappenat7.8V(3x2.6V).Inthiscase,switchofftheovervoltageprotection.
