2. CALIBRATION.
The 2
nd
step in system preparation is to calibrate the direction & throttle sticks. Even though this step is only needed
once when first setting up a new ESC, from time to time it is advisable to run through the procedure.
2.1
Turn ON the loco power. The RX LED,
ESC
LED & the loco lights stay OFF.

.2
Set the DX5e
Mode # 2
channel # 5 switch
on the TX to # 1 ON, i.e. pull switch towards you.
2.3
Turn the TX ON. RH LED will illuminate.
Make sure Throttle stick is down. Zero output.
After a few seconds (between 2 - 8 seconds) RX & TX will recognise each other & the RX LED will come ON. The
ESC
LED & both front & rear lights will flash rapidly.
2.4
From zero (down position), gently stroke the Throttle stick backwards & forwards full travel a couple of times.
Pause briefly at end of each stroke. Then return stick to zero (down position).
2.5
Gently stroke the Elevator stick backwards & forwards
full travel a couple of times & let stick go.
2.6
Turn the Channel # 5 switch to “0” OFF.
i.e. push switch away from you.
The
ESC
LED & loco lights will blink three times at a slower rate & both lights will go to solid ON.
The system is in neutral and ready to operate.

Either turn the loco and TX OFF for later use, or proceed to page # 6.
