STEP 4 - NECESSARY TRANSMITTER SETTINGS
For proper ESC operation, it’s very important to set the transmitter’s throttle channel adjustments, as follows:
1. Set the throttle channel’s travel adjustment (ATV,EPA or ATL) to 100%.
2. Set the throttle trim and sub-trim to neutral or zero.
3. Set the throttle channel’s reversing switch to reverse on Futaba transmitters.
Other transmitters might require you to set the throttle reversing switch to normal.

STEP 7 - ARMING THE ESC & SAFE-START FUNCTION
If ready to apply power to the motor:
1. Turn the transmitter’s power on.
2. Move the throttle stick to the minimum or brake position (towards you).
3. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC. The motor will beep to indicate the brake setting (once for off, twice for on).
4. Move the throttle stick to full. The motor will again beep once or twice to indicate the brake setting.
5. Move the throttle stick to “off” or “brake” and the motor will beep four times. The ESC is now “armed”, and the motor WILL ROTATE anytime the throttle stick is advanced.
If the ESC does not operate properly or makes a low pitched beeping sound following the above set-up procedure, disconnect the battery from the ESC, reverse the throttle setting on the transmitter and repeat the ESC set-up.
