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. 

 

·

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. 
 

·

If you do not use the BEC function of the ESC and are using a separate receiver pack or UBEC to power 

receiver and servos instead, please disconnect  the red wire from the ESC’s receiver lead. 
 
 

·

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

cut-off voltage (factory preset at 5.0V). 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.
