There need to be set 3 points. They are the end point of "forward", the
end point of "backward" and the neutral point.
The following pictures show how to set the throttle range with your
transmitter.
A) Switch off the ESC and turn on the transmitter.
B) Hold the "SETUP"-key of the ESC and then switch on the ESC.
Release the "SETUP" key as soon as the red LED begins to
flash.
Note 1
The "SET" key of ESC is on the main-board at the controller
(see picture).
Note 2
If you don't release the "SET" key as soon as the red LED begins to
flash, the ESC will enter the program mode. In such case, please switch
off the ESC and re-calibrate the throttle range again as described.

LED status of normal running
• In normal use, if the throttle stick is in the neutral range, neither the
red LED nor the green LED lights.
• The red LED lights when the car is running forward or backward
and it will flash quickly when the car is braking.
• The green LED lights when the throttle stick is moved to the top
point (end point) of the forward zone or backward zone.

C) Set the 3 points according to the steps.
1. The neutral point
Move the throttle lever at the neutral point, and then click the
SET key. The green LED flashes 1 time.
2. The end point of forward direction
Move the throttle lever at the end point of forward direction, and
then click the SET key, the green LED flashes 2 times.
3. The end point of backward direction
Move the throttle lever at the end point of backward direction,
and then click the SET key, the green LED flashes 3 times.
The throttle range is calibrated; the motor can be started after
3 seconds.

Alert tones
• Alert tone input voltage abnormal:
The ESC begins to check the input voltage when power on. If it is
out of the normal range, such an alert tone will be emitted:
"beep-beep-, beep-beep-, beep-beep-" (There is 1 second time
interval between every "beep-beep-" tones).
• Alert tone throttle signal abnormal:
When the ESC can't detect the normal throttle signal, such an alert
tone will be emitted: "beep-, beep-, beep-" (There is 2 seconds
time interval between every "beep-" tones).
Protection function
1. Low voltage cut-off protection: If the voltage of a lithium battery
pack is lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the ESC will cut of
the output power. Please note, that the ESC cannot be restarted if
the voltage of one lithium cell is lower than 3.5 V.
The NiMH battery pack is 8.0 V, and the threshold is set to 2.6 V/cell, so
it will be considered as a 2S lithium battery pack, and the low-voltage
cut-off threshold for this NiMH battery pack is 2.6 x 2 = 5.2 V.
2. Over-heat protection: When the temperature of the ESC is over
a factory preset threshold for 5 seconds, the ESC will cut off the
output power. When the over-heat protection happens, the green
LED will flash in such a style: "✼, ✼, ✼" (single flash).
3. Signal loss protection: The ESC will cut off the output power if the
throttle signal is lost for 0.2 second.
