Please note that IR will be interfered in direct sunlight so to
program your model we suggest doing it indoors in the shade out
of direct sunlight.
Before flying you will need to place the switch back to PPM mode.
Please note that there is a time limit from when you press a
function button the numeric values and enter if you go over this
time limit no sound of flashes will come from the esc.

5.0 Connecting your Scorpion
SBEC to the programming card
Your Scorpion ESC is programmed using the Infrared (IR)
Program card and Receiver included with this ESC. First you
must connect your IR Receiver to your ESC. Ensure the brown
wire from your esc is facing outwards.
To program any function on the card you must follow the
following procedure:
Example LOW Voltage Cut to enter 15V:
If successful a DI DOO sound will come from the motor and the
LED will Flash RED. An invalid option will not get any confirma-
tion sound from the motor and the LED will not flash.
