to custom program profiles
:
Your transmitter can be either ON or OFF:
1. IF TRANSMITTER IS OFF, DISCONNECT ESC FROM RECEIVER
Remove input signal harness from receiver to avoid radio interference.
2. CONNECT SPEED CONTROL TO A CHARGED BATTERY PACK
3. SLIDE ESC’s ON/OFF SWITCH TO ‘ON’ POSITION
4. MAKE SURE THE THROTTLE PROFILE TO ADJUST IS ACTIVE
If you are not sure what profile is selected, follow the procedures in ‘Throttle Profile
Selection’ to check or select the desired profile.
5. FOLLOW STEPS ON RIGHT SIDE OF THIS PAGE TO CUSTOMIZE ESC
You can adjust different parameters (described on back side of this sheet) to fine tune the
speed control to perform & feel the way you like it.
Remember that you can not access the Brush-Mode (Profile #4) without
disconnecting the brushless motor’s sensor harness from the ESC.
Note: there is no time constraint during selection process of custom parameters.

PLEASE NOTE: This page contains optional Advanced Programming items! No further adjustments are required.
(but don’t worry, you can always reset factory defaults by performing the One-Touch programming again, so go ahead & experiment--that’s why the programming is in there, right?)
