PREPARATIONS BEFORE DRIVING
When using for the first time, the neutral position of ESC with the
transmitter you have will not match. If you try driving before the initial
setting is completed, the motor may start rotating at the same time as
the switch is turned on. Since it is very dangerous, be sure to perform the
following "initial setting of the radio throttle position" when turning on the
power for the fi rst time.
(The motor will not rotate during initial setting.)
Immediately after purchasing or immediately after replacing the transmitter, it
is necessary to store the neutral point, forward MAX point and reverse (brake)
MAX point of the transmitter in the ESC. Follow the procedure below.
Initial setting of radio throttle position
How to Calibrate
Before setting, please set all settings (EPA = endpoint adjustment,
maximum braking amount, etc.) for the throttle of the transmitter
to a neutral position (zero value).
If the settings are different, the ESC may not
detect the throttle input and calibration will not be performed successfully.
When performing the initial setting, be sure that the sensor cable
is connected to the motor and ESC. If the sensor cable is not
connected, has not been properly inserted, has been disconnected, or is loosely
connected, all the LEDs will blink (high-speed blinking). Check the connection
for the sensor cable or replace the cable as all operations will not be received
while it is in this state. Also, in assertion to when performing the initial settings,
the sensor cable should always be connected when the vehicle is being driven.
The three motor cables (A, B, C) may be left disconnected but be careful to not
have the cable connectors touch each other as they will short.
If performing the initial settings with the motor cables connected,
secure the motor in a motor mount or other device, and remove
the pinion gear to keep the car from moving unexpectedly.

<<Before making calibration>>
Be sure the ESC power is turned
off
, and make sure the ESC is properly
connected to the battery, motor (or just the sensor cable only), and receiver. Then
turn the transmitter power on.
2
<<Calibration mode>>
If you press and hold the POWER button
for 2 to 3 seconds while the power is OFF,
the LED (
green
+
orange
) blinks 3 times at
the same time, next the LED
green
starts
blinking and the initial setting mode is
entered. Then release the POWER button.

<<Setting of the neutral point>>
While the LED blinks
green
, set the transmitter
throttle to the neutral position and press the
POWER button briefl y. After that, the
blue
LED will
blink.
4
<<Setting of the high point>>
While the
blue
LED is blinking, set the throttle on
the transmitter to the maximum forward position
and press the POWER button once. The
red
LED
will start blinking.
* If the
red
LED does not blink after pressing the
set button with the throttle at the maximum forward
position, set the throttle to the maximum reverse
(brake) position and then press the set POWER
button once.
5
<<Before making calibration>>
While the
red
LED is blinking, set the transmitter
throttle to the maximum position on the opposite
side of step 4 and press the POWER button once.
All LEDs blink 3 times.
This completes the initial settings for the
transmitter positions. The ESC automatically
changes to the standby mode (Page 10).
Important
If you performed the procedure described by the * under Step 4 above, <<Setting
the high point>>, change the throttle channel normal and reverse with the
transmitter's REVERSE function after completing the initial setting for all transmitter positions.
The throttle position for the transmitter may become misaligned due to
changes or deterioration over time. If the LED lights are flashing while the
ESC is in standby mode, readjust the initial settings for the transmitter.
Always turn the power switches on and off in the following order: ON: Transmitter
---> ESC / OFF: ESC ---> transmitter
Power OFF

settings before driving.
Press and hold for 2 seconds to turn off the power.
