b) Connecting the Drive Battery
Switch on the transmitter and set the trimming of all control functions to the neutral position. Observe the information
and instructions in the operating instructions of the remote control system.

The speed controller is now ready for operation. In this case, cell recognition is programmed. Also observe the notes
in chapter 11.
Ifseveralsignalsounds(e.g.3xbeeps)arereportedacoustically,thespeedcontrollerisalsoreadyforoperation.In
this case, however, it is signalled that the speed controller is programmed for operation with a 3-cell LiPo battery. Also
observe the notes in chapter 11.
 Ifsuccessfulinitialisationisnotreportedacoustically(thespeedcontrollersignalsonlythenumberofrecog-
nised cells and then beeps in a quick rhythm), the speed controller is not ready either. In this case, carefully

until the sound signals are issued. You may also need to remove the drive battery for this. It must be recon-
nectedafterapprox.10seconds.Whenthismeasuredoesnotleadtosuccess,theneutralpositionforthe
drive function must be programmed. Also observe the notes in chapter 11.
 Ifthespeed controlleremitsa regular signal(1xbrief soundsignal– pause–1x brief soundsignal–
pause ….), no correct control signal has been transmitter from the receiver to the speed controller. The
receiver may not be bound to the transmitter or the transmitter may be off. Thus, the receiver cannot process
any regular reception signal.
The model is operated with a 6-cell LiPo rechargeable battery, i.e. with a relatively high operating voltage of
22.2V.Whenconnectingtherechargeablebattery,theremaybesmallsparksthatwillrenderthecontacts
of the plug connections unusable over time while also putting stress on the speed controller's electronics.
Therefore,werecommendtheplugsystem"XT90Antiblitz".Thisplugsystemhasaseriesresistorinstalled
that avoids sparks and thus also protects the electronics of the speed controller. The matching plug system
