【 Program The ESC With Transmitter (4 Steps)】
1. Enter program mode
2. Select programmable items
3. Set item value (Programmable value)
4. Exit program mode
Note:
1. It very important to set the Li-Po battery cells number correctly, otherwise the ESC will mistakenly calculate the cut off voltage.
3. Set item value
You will hear tones in loop. Set the value matching to a tone by moving throttle stick to top when
you hear the tone , then a special tone “
” emits which means the value is set and saved.
(Keeping the stick at top, you will go back to step 2 and you can select other items; Moving the
