/ High
1)
For lithium battery, the battery cell number is calculated automatically. Low / medium / high cutoff voltage for each cell is:
2.85V/3.15V/3.3V. For example: For a 3S Lipo, when “Medium” cutoff threshold is set, the cut-off voltage will be:
3.15*3=9.45V
2)
For NiMH battery, low / medium / high cutoff voltages are 0%/50%/65% of the startup voltage (i.e. the initial voltage of
battery pack), and 0% means the low voltage cut-off function is disabled. For example: For a 10 cells NiMH battery, fully
charged voltage is 1.44*6=8.64V, when “Medium” cut-off threshold is set, the cut-off voltage will be:8.64*50%=4.32V
。

Startup Mode
：
Normal
/Soft /Super-Soft (300ms / 1.5s / 3s)
Normal mode is suitable for fixed-wing aircraft. Soft or Super-soft modes are suitable for helicopters. The initial acceleration of the
Soft and Super-Soft modes are slower, it takes 1.5 second for Soft startup or 3 seconds for Super-Soft startup from initial throttle
advance to full throttle. If the throttle is completely closed (throttle stick moved to bottom position) and opened again (throttle stick
moved to top position) within 3 seconds after the first startup, the re-startup will be temporarily changed to normal mode to get rid of
the chance of a crash caused by slow throttle response. This special design is suitable for aerobatic flight when quick throttle
response is needed.

IMPORTANT!
Because different transmitter has different throttle range, please calibrate throttle range before flying.
Throttle range setting: (Throttle range should be reset whenever a new transmitter is being used)
Normal startup procedure:
Protection Function
1.
Start up failure protection: If the motor fails to start within 2 seconds of throttle application, the ESC will cut-off the output power. In
this case, the throttle stick
MUST
be moved to the bottom again to restart the motor. (Such a situation happens in the following
cases: The connection between ESC and motor is not reliable, the propeller or the motor is blocked, the gearbox is damaged, etc.)
2.
Over-heat protection: When the temperature of the ESC is over about 110 Celsius degrees
,
the ESC will reduce the output power.
3.
Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will reduce the output power if throttle signal is lost for 1 second, further loss for 2 seconds
will cause the output to be cut-off completely.
Move throttle stick
to bottom position
and then switch
on transmitter.
Connect battery pack
to ESC, special tone
like “
123” means
power supply is OK
When self-test is
finished, a long
“beep-----” tone
should be emitted
Move throttle stick
upwards to go flying
Several “beep-” tones
should be emitted to
present the amount of
lithium battery cells
Switch on the

top position
Connect battery
pack to the
ESC, and wait
for about 2
seconds
The “Beep-Beep-” tone
should be emitted,
means the top point of
throttle range has been
confirmed
Move throttle stick to the
bottom position, several
“beep-” tones should be
emitted to present the
amount of battery cells
A long “Beep-” tone should
be emitted, means the
lowest point of throttle
range has been correctly
confirmed
