Feature options
1. Brake Option - 3 settings that include Brake disabled/Soft brake/Hard brake.
2. Electronic Timing Option - 3 settings that include Low timing/Mid timing/High timing.
Generally, 2 pole motors are recommended to use low timing, while 6 or more poles should use Mid timing. High timing gives more power
at the expense of efficiency. Always check the current draw after changing the timing in order to prevent overloading of battery.
3. Battery Protection Option- 2 settings that include Li-ion, Li-poly High/Low cutoff voltage protection
The default setting is High cutoff voltage protection (suitable for hovering and general flight). CPU will automatically determine cell number
of input Lithium battery (7.4~25.2V). This option will prevent over-discharge of the battery. The following reference is the guideline for setting
the Battery Protection option.
3-1 Li-ion/Li-poly High cutoff voltage protection-When the voltage of single cell drops to 3.2V, the first step of battery protection mode will be
engaged by the ESC resulting in reduced power. The pilot should reduce the throttle and prepare landing. If the voltage of single cell drops
to 3.0V, the second step of battery protection mode will be engaged resulting in power cutoff. (*Note 1)
For 11.1V/3cells Lithium battery, the full charged voltage will be approximately 12.6V. According to this input voltage, CPU will determine
that this is a 3cell battery.
First step protection: 3.2V x 3cell=9.6V
Second step protection: 3.0V x 3cell= 9.0V
When the voltage drops to 9.6V, the power will be reduced. When the voltage drops to 9.0V, the power will be cut off.
3-2 Li-ion/Li-poly Low cutoff voltage protection- This option is same as instruction 3-1, but when the voltage of single cell drops to 3.0V, the
first step of battery protection will be engaged. When the voltage of single cell drops to 2.8V, the second step of battery protection will be
engaged. (*Note 1)
Note 1: Second step of battery protection only works when Aircraft mode is setting to the option 4-1.
NOTE: THIS OPTION IS ONLY SUITABLE FOR A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY PACK IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION.
4. Aircraft Option: 3 settings that include Normal Airplane / Helicopter 1 / Helicopter 2.
Normal Airplane Mode is used for general airplanes and gliders. When flying Helicopters, you can choose Helicopter 1 Mode, or
Helicopter 2 Mode. Helicopter 1 Mode provides Soft Start feature. Helicopter 2 Mode provides Soft Start and Governor Mode.
5. Throttle response speed: 3 settings that include standard/ Medium/ Quick throttle response speed.
The default setting is standard. Use this option to adjust the setting according to flight character. For example, setting at Medium or Quick
speed for 3D and powerful flight to make the power response more quickly, but note the accelerative peak current and power expense will
increase.
6. Thermal Protection: When the ESC temperature reaches 80°C for any reason, it will engage the battery protection circuit, reducing
power to the ESC. We recommend mounting the ESC in a location with adequate air flow and ventilation.
7. Safe Power On Alarm: When the operator turns on the ESC, it will automatically detect the transmitter signal.
The ESC will emit a confirmation tone and enter normal operation mode if the throttle is set to the lowest position.
If the throttle position is at full throttle, it will begin to enter Setup Mode. If the throttle is in any other position, the ESC will emit an alarm
and not enter into user mode for safety precautions.
8. Aircraft Locator: If the aircraft should land or crash in an unexpected location and become lost, the pilot can enable the Aircraft Locator
Option. The Aircraft Locator Option is engaged by turning off the transmitter. When the ESC does not receive a signal from the transmitter
for 30 seconds, it will start to send an alarm to the motor. The sound of the alarm will aid the pilot to locate the aircraft.
This option will not work with a PCM receiver that has SAVE function enabled, or with low noise resistant PPM receivers.

Setup Mode
1.Setup mode: Make sure to connect the ESC to the throttle channel of the receiver. Please refer to the user manual of your radio system. The second step is to
connect the 3 power-out signal pins to the brushless motor. Before you turn on the transmitter, please adjust the throttle stick to the maximum full throttle
position. Proceed to connect the battery to the ESC. You will hear confirmation sounds as soon as you enter the SETUP MODE. Please refer the attached flow
chart for details.
2.Throttle stick positions in Setup mode: Setup mode includes five settings: Brake, Electronic Timing, Battery Protection, Aircraft, and Throttle Response
Speed. Every setting has three options except Battery Protection option. Simply place the throttle stick in the highest, middle, and lowest positions for each
setting. For example, first brake setting (Hard): move the stick to the highest position. Then timing setting (mid): move the throttle stick in the middle position.

Instructions on Aircraft Mode Settings
Normal Airplane/Glider Mode (Option 4-1):
This option is applied to general airplanes and gliders.
Helicopter 1 Mode (Option 4-2):
This option provides a soft start feature and is applied to Helicopters for Normal, Idle Up 1, or Idle Up 2 modes. Please note that the sensitivity of the gyro
should be set lower when flying in Idle Up 1 or Idle Up 2 modes if tail hunting (wag) occurs due to higher rotor speed.
Helicopter 2 Mode (Option 4-3):
This option supports soft start as well as Governor Mode features and is applied to Helicopters for Idle Up 1 and Idle Up 2 modes(not suitable for Normal
Flight Mode). When Governor Mode is in use, the throttle should be set between 75% and 85%. Again if tail wag occurs, lower the sensitivity of the gyro
to eliminate the hunting effect. The Governor Mode may not work properly in cases of insufficient rotor speed (due to improper gear ratio), poor battery
discharge capability, and improper setting of gyro sensitivity and the blade pitch, etc. Please make sure all the proper adjustments have been done when
using Governor Mode.
