Warnings

·

Strongly 

recommend

  to  calibrate  the  throttle  range  of  transmitter  when  you  first  use  the  controller  or 

when using a new/different transmitter or receiver.  
 

·

When  connecting  the  ESC to  battery  pack, please ensure the polarity is correct. Incorrect polarity may 

cause permanent damage to the ESC and such damage is not covered by manufacturer’s WARRANTY. 
 

·

When you use the ESC, turn on the transmitter BEFORE powering on the receiver. 

 

·

When you finish the flying, power off the receiver BEFORE turning off the transmitter. 

 

·

The limiting current is set to the ‘standard mode’ in factory. It is suitable for use in most configurations. 

Only experienced technicians can adjust this programming. 
 

·

In Governor Mode, the brake is always disabled and the soft cutoff is always active. 

 

·

Changing the PWM may cause the motor to heat ahead of time. 

 

·

Damage  to  the  controller  as  a  result  of  excessively  high  current  is  not  covered  by  the  manufacturer’s 

WARRANTY. 
 

·

Never disconnect the battery pack while the motor is running, as this could cause damage to the speed 

controller and/or motor. 
 

·

Connectors with low conductivity may cause erratic motor rotations or other unexpected movements. 

 

·

The controller will automatically power off the motor if the battery voltage drops below the programmed 

cut-off voltage (factory preset at 12.0V). Try using a smaller prop on the motor, or using batteries with a 
higher rating. It is especially important for the user of Li-poly cells. 
 

·

Allowing   water,   lubricants,   moisture   or   other   foreign   objects   inside   the   ESC   will   VOID   the 

WARRANTY. Exposure to CA glue or its fumes can cause damage and malfunctions; this will also VOID 
the WARRANTY.
