2. Battery type
3. Cutoff voltage: Low-voltage protection threshold, [1] Low
For Ni-xx battery packs：Low/Medium/High cut off voltage is 50%/65%/75% of the battery packs' initial voltage.
For LiPo battery: can count battery cells automatic. Low voltage protection threshold :Low（2.8V）/ Medium（3.0V）/ High
（3.2V）.Eg:For 4S/14.8V Lipo battery packs, low voltage protection threshold is 11.2V low/12.0V medium /12.8Vhigh.
4. Timing：
[1]0° [2]3.75° [3]7.5° [4]11.25° [5]15°(default) [6]18.75°
Low（0°/ 3.75°/ 11.25°/15°/ 18.75°）--for most inner rotor motors
High（22.5°/ 26.25°）--For 6 poles or higher poles outer rotor motors
As usual, 15° applies to all the outer rotor motors , but for improving efficiency ,recommend that set low timing for 2 poles
motor( most inner rotor motors), set high timing for 6 poles and high poles motors( most outer rotor motors). If need high
speed motor, you can set high timing. Some motors should set special timing, if not sure, you'd better to set timing as motor
manufacturer recommended ,or set 15°.
Note: After changing timing, please test on the ground before flying.
5. Startup Mode： Start up with linear accelerator
[1] Normal: It's preferred for fixed wing. (default)
[2] Soft: It's preferred for helicopter, it will take 6 seconds from 0% throttle to 100% throttle.
[3] Very soft: It's preferred for helicopter, it will take 12 seconds from 0% throttle to 100% throttle.

6.Governor mode : [1]OFF(default) [2]Low [3]High
(For reference)
If the Governor mode is activated, ESC will try to keep the motor in a fixed speed ( usually the throttle curve is a horizontal
49x23.5x13.5mm
line, you can change the preset motor speed by changing the height of the line).
[1] OFF(default)
49x23.5x13.5mm
[2] Low , "Low constant speed" mode , 10000-20000RPM for 2 poles brushless motor .
65.5x34x21mm [3] High, "High constant speed" mode , above 20000RPM for 2 poles brushless motor .
Note: Governor mode function is automatically disabled if the throttle value less than 60%.
65.5x34x21mm
7. PWM frequency: [1]8KHz [2]16KHz(default) [3]24KHz
82.5x39.5x23.5mm
For high poles and high speed motors, the higher PWM frequency can make motor drive smoothly, but the higher PWM frequency
will make ESC hotter .

9. Voltage cutoff option:
[1] Reduce cutoff(default ): the voltage drops to the set low-voltage protection threshold , ESC will reduce the power then cut off the
motor output
[2] Cut off: the voltage drops to the set low-voltage protection threshold , ESC will cut off the motor output immediately.
10. Battery cells Available for LiPo battery only. :
[1] Automatic judgment(default) [2]2S [3]3S [4]4S [5]5S [6]6S .
You also can select the options according to your battery cells.
11.Motor rotation：
[1]Normal(default)：Default motor rotation；
[2]Reversed：Change the motor rotation.
12.Active Switch Continued Flow [1]Off (default) [2]On
ASCF（Active Switch Continued Flow）technology，higher efficiency，reduce heat generation massively.
13.Reverse function
Plug reverse signal wire into an two-stage switch channel on the receiver ,to reverse the motor rotation during the flight to decelerate.
The lowest point of the pulse width range of the two-stage switch channel must be less than the lowest point of throttle. (e.g. the lowest point of
throttle is 1000, then the lowest point of pulse width of two-stage switch channel should be less than 1000).
Effective conditions : 1. Reverse function - on; 2.
14.Restore default settings
When the beeping indicates the mode of "Restore default settings", move the throttle stick to zero position in
5 seconds after the beeping can activate the mode. There is no sub-menu under this mode. Then the motors
makes indication tones of "♪765765" which means default settings are restored.
15.Exit program mode
After a sound "Beep-", move throttle stick to the bottom position, enters the item of exit program mode, motor emits
sound "♪765765"the same time, it represents ESC enters normal operation mode.

Alarm tone: (To judge the abnormal cases via alarm tone )
1.Alarm tone of signal loss : when ESC detects no signal , motor will emit the alarm tone "Beep-、Beep、-Beep-"(alarm tone
emits every 2 seconds).
2.Alarm tone of throttle not in the zero throttle position: throttle not in the zero throttle position, motor will emit
"Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep-" ( urgent single short tone).
3. Alert tone of narrower throttle range: when throttle range is set too narrow, motor emits "Beep-Beep-Beep"(harried alarm tone
emits last for 2 seconds). You must set throttle range again.

Troubles Possible causes
Bad connection between ESC and battery.
Bad soldering cause bad contact.
Low voltage of the battery.
Quality problem of ESC.
ESC doesn't set throttle range.
Bad connection between ESC and motor, or
bad soldering.
Bad motor.
Battery voltage out of range
No output throttle signal from receiver.
Throttle doesn't in the zero position.
The positive and negative of throttle channel
is wrong. So ESC enters programming
mode.
The wrong sequence of connection wires
between motor and ESC.
Battery voltage is lower than low-voltage
protection threshold and low-voltage
protection mode is cutoff output.
Loss throttle signal
Bad connection between wires

1.Exchange random 2 of the 3 connection wires
between ESC and motor.
2.Change motor rotation direction via mobile phone
App，transmitter or programming card.
1.Set right low-voltage protection threshold. Run
with full-charged battery pack. Choose reduce
power as Low-voltage protection .If power is
decreasing during running, please fly back soon.
2.Make sure your aircraft in the range available to
control with your transmitter.
3.Attention to the voltage of transmitter, if it will
run out of the battery, please fly back soon.
1.Check if the transmitter operation correct.
2.Check if transmitter match with receiver.
3.Strong electromagnetic interference around
the used environment, try to turn off and power
up again, to see if it recovers normal work, if the
problem come up again and again, please change
to another field.
