1. Ensure the receiver is in PWM mode. About shifting the receiver’s mode, please follow the instructions. 
2. Connect the signal wire of the ESC to the pin 3 of the receiver, i.e., the yellow wire to pin S, red one to +, and black one to -. 
3. Power on the radio transmitter → pull throttle to max → power on ESCs → detects a max throttle signal → beep twice, indicating the max throttle is set
and saved → pull throttle to min within 2 seconds → a long beep indicates the min throttle signal is detected → check the battery’s voltage, beep three
times, indicating the cells quantity of battery → hear the notes “♪ 1 2 3”, indicating it’s ready → pull up the throttle to start → pull up a little to see whether
the motor spins or not. 
4. Repeat the operations above to configure the rest motors and ESCs.

5. Section Board and Power Cord Test

 

Test Operations:

1. Test by multimeter: set the multimeter to Continuity mode (as shown in 

 of Figure 5-1), check the conductivity of the adjacent “+” points on the

Section Board (as shown in Figure 5-1),t he adjacent “-” points (as shown in Figure 5-2) 

 

Figure 5-1 & Figure 5-2 

and two ends of red and black wires in Male T-Plug Adapter Cable (100mm) (Figure 5-3 and Figure 5-4).
