Caution
If you are configuring an electric-powered model, remove the propeller(s) or secure the aircraft
before performing the next steps. The test functions will cause an active Electronic Speed
Control to drive the motor(s) at varying power levels, including full throttle. An unsecured
model can cause substantial bodily injury and/or property damage. Also be mindful of models
with retractable landing gear or similar functions that require special attention.

a signal. We encourage you to use the throttle lock feature as a safety precaution against “accidental
throttle application”.
1. To turn the throttle lock on, highlight “THRO Lock” from the
model setup menu and press the jog dial to enter the setup screen.
