4. ORTANT NOTE Calibration is necessary for the first use of the ESC or whenever used with a new different transmitter For users with a Futaba Transmitter you must reverse the throttle channel signal on your transmitter Please refer to your Futaba instructions Individual transmitter s signals for full throttle full brake and neutral vary You must calibrate your ESC so that it will operate more effectively with your transmitter How to Calibrate ESC e ESC switch OFF e Turn on the Transmitter e Hold full throttle on your transmitter and turn the ESC s switch ON Keep holding full throttle on the transmitter The ESC will flashes LED and ring the initialization tones e Wait 2 seconds e Green LED blinks rapidly and the motor will rings 1 second indicating full throttle measured 3 8 Ver 1 2 e Red LED blinks whiles beeping indicating it s time to push full brake Move throttle trigger to full brake and wait few seconds the ESC will blink red LED and rings 1 second indicating full brake measure a e Yellow LED blinks whiles beeping indicating it s time for neutral Relax trigger to neutral center The ESC will now ring 1 second and flash the yellow LED rapidly to accept the neutral position e ESC will blink LED and ring one second indicating that it is armed From this point on when you connect batteries and turn on the switch the ESC will give the initialization tone and flash and the arm
