SETUP DEFAULTS: Restore Factory Defaults
1. Turn on your radio and set the throttle stick to the top, full “ON”
positon (100%).
2. Plug the battery pack into your controller.
3. Wait 2 seconds. You will hear 4 groups of two fast beeps. After
this, groups of 4 varying beeps, tones and melodies will sound.
4. When you hear — — — —, you are in the Factory Setup Defaults
section. If you would like to reset to the factory default settings,
pull the throttle stick to the lowest, “OFF” position.
5. The sound will stop, this indicates you have finished programming
this function and your settings are saved.
Note
For Lithium packs, the number of cells is automatically
calculated and requires no user input apart from defining
the battery type. This ESC provides 3 setting options
for the low voltage protection threshold: Low (2.8V)/
Medium (3.0V)/ High (3.2V). For example: the voltage
cutoff options for an 11.1V/ 3 cell Li-Po pack would be
8.4V (Low)/ 9.0V (Med)/ 9.6V (High).
Note
For NiCd or NiMH packs, the low / medium / high cutoff
voltages are 50%/60%/65% of the initial voltage of the
battery pack. For example: a fully charged 6-cell NiMH
pack’s voltage is 1.44V per cell or 6=8.64V for the pack.
When the “Low” cutoff voltage is set, the cutoff voltage is
4.3V (8.64V x 50%). When “Medium”” is set, the cutoff
voltage is 5.18 (8.64V x 60%) or if “High” is used then it is
5.61V (8.64 x 65%).

Caution
Setting the cutoff threshold too low for Lithium chemistry
batteries can damage your battery and render it unusable.
The low cutoff should never be lower than what is
recommended by the battery manufacturer.
