Troubleshooting

The controller will beep more quietly than normal if the input voltage is
below the cutoff voltage when the battery is connected. Check the voltage
of the battery pack to see if it is correct (charged), or the programmed
cutoff setting if the input voltage is set incorrectly for the voltage of the
pack being used.

If you have trouble arming the controller (and the throttle trim has been
set to minimum), enter the programming mode and try changing the set-
ting to 1.1ms–1.9ms in Programming Menu 4 to see if it helps correct the
problem. If it is a computer radio, you may alternatively increase high and
low throttle ATV (endpoint) percentages.

Note: Increasing the high ATV will not have a consequence on arming
issues, only low ATV.

Some transmitters, including all Futaba transmitters, will require the
throttle channel to be “reversed” for proper operation.
