Throttle Range Calibration
(For the first time using transmitter or changing the transmitter you must set Throttle Range Calibration)
1. Switch OFF the ESC, then connect the battery pack and turn ON the transmitter; set the direction of the throttle
channel to REV; set the EPA/ATV value of the throttle channel to 100%.
2. Hold the “Set” button and switch ON the ESC, wait for about 4 seconds until the Orange LED is on solid, then
release the “Set” button, pull the throttle trigger to full throttle until Red LED is on Solid and the motor beeps.
3. Push the throttle trigger to Full Brake until the Orange LED blinks and will be on solid, the motor beeps.
4. Return the throttle trigger to the Neutral position, both of the Red LED and Orange LED blink simultaneously
and will be on solid, the motor beeps, both of Red LED and Orange LED wink. The Throttle Range Calibration is
confirmed.
5. Turn OFF the ESC power switch.
6. Turn the ESC back ON. You are ready to use the ESC now.

I-power pro sensored/sensorless brushless esc general information
1. Cutoff Voltage
• Automatically detect the number of the cells
According to the type of your batteries , set up the type of the batteries and Low Voltage Cutoff Threshold via PC
software or program card. The ESC can detect the Voltage of the battery anytime and will stop working once the
Voltage of the battery is lower than the preset Low Voltage Cutoff Threshold.
• When using NiMH or NiCd batteries you do not need to set a cutoff voltage to protect the batteries. If you are
using more than 6-cell NiMH or NiCd batteries, you must adjust the cutoff voltage, for example if you are using
an 8-cell pack of NiMH batteries you would use a cutoff of 5.6V volts (8 x 0.7V = 5.6V). When the voltage of the
batteries packs is within 8.4~12.6V, the ESC will automatically identify 3S LiPos. When the voltage of the batteries
packs is less than 8.4V, the ESC will automatically identify 2S LiPos. When the voltage of the batteries packs is
