If the chime sounds followed by continuous, slow beeps
(“beep…beep…beep…beep…”), then the receiver is not
receiving a signal from the transmitter. You may need to
link the receiver to the transmitter, or check the connection
between the ESC and the receiver.
Throttle Calibration
If you connect the battery to the ESC and hear the three
chimes (“
1 2 3”), but then the motor beeps rapidly (beep,
beep, beep, beep, beep, beep….) and does not run when
you move the throttle stick, the ESC is not detecting the
end points of the throttle stick and requires
calibration
.
Recalibration may also be required if you ever switch to
a different transmitter, or if you adjust the throttle trim
or throttle end points in your transmitter:
1.
Remove the propeller.
2. Turn on the transmitter and advance the throttle to the
“up” position.
3. Connect the battery to the ESC and hear the chime
followed by two long beeps (“beeep, beeep”) indicating
that the ESC has read the top of the throttle range.
4. Move the throttle stick to the low position and again
hear a single long beep (“beeep”) (signaling that the ESC
has read the bottom end of the throttle range) followed
by one or two short beeps signaling the completion of
the procedure. Now the throttle has been calibrated.

Note:
If this recalibration does not work, increase or
decrease the throttle trim or end point for low throttle on
your transmitter and repeat the procedure.
Brake Setting
The ESC is preset from the factory with the motor brake
off
, but if you inadvertently turn on the brake, or if the ESC
was not set correctly, follow these instructions to turn on
or off the brake:
1.
Remove the propeller.
2. Turn on the transmitter and move the throttle stick all
the way up.
3. Connect a battery to the ESC to power up the ESC
and radio.
A. Hear the chimes (“
1 2 3”) followed by two long
beeps (“beeep, beeep”) followed by a pause, a short
beep (“beep”), another pause, then two more short
beeps (“beep, beep”).
B. If you do nothing, the brake will not be changed.
Disconnect the battery from the ESC.
C. To change the brake setting (on or off) reconnect
the battery to the ESC with the transmitter on and
the throttle stick all the way up. Lower the throttle
stick after the single short beep to turn the brake
off
; or lower the throttle stick after the two short
beeps to turn the brake
on

D. After the throttle stick is lowered to turn the brake

followed by a single short beep (brake off) or two
short beeps (brake on) depending on how you just
programmed the brake.

2. Connect the battery to the ESC. If all is working
properly, the ESC will send three, short, electrical pulses
to the motor causing it to chime three times (“ 1- 2- 3”)
