The ESC comes prewired with an EC5 connector and is compatible with most batteries. Only use 3–6S Li-Po or 9–18 Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC battery connector. WARNING: Always remove the propeller before checking the startup function of the ESC or making programming changes. Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from a moving propeller, as these items could become entangled.

a. To select No Brake/Brake Off—You will hear 1 short beep. Move the throttle stick to center. The ESC will beep 2 times, indicating you have set the program selection. Leave in full throttle for 5 seconds to advance to the next selection. b. To select Soft Brake—You will hear 2 short beeps. Move the throttle stick to center. The ESC will beep 2 times, indicating you have set the program selection. Leave in full throttle for 5 seconds to advance to the next selection. c.

PROGRAMMING MENU 7 – OPERATING MODE The default setting is set to Normal (airplane) Mode (which is limited to a startup rate of 0.25 or 1 second). Alternatively, the Heli Mode can be selected which, reduces the start-up rate to 5 seconds for the first start-up and any start-up after the motor/ESC has been stopped for more than 5 seconds. This helps to prevent damaging the motor, gears or any other components from an abrupt start-up when none of the parts are moving.
