Phrases 1 Enter programming Mode
1. Connect your motor and receiver to the speed controller, but do not connect the
battery yet.
2. Turn on your transmitter and move the throttle stick to the full throttle position (full
up). Please Note: Most Futaba transmitters have the throttle channel reversed by
default.
3. Connect your battery and the controller will initialize with a musical tone.
Phrases 2 Programming
After 3 seconds, the controller will start beeping a sequence of tones – a musical tone
followed by one or more beeps. Each sequence represents a parameter that you can program
and is repeated 3 times. The parameters are:
♪— Music Tone + 1 Options 1. Cell Type and No. of Cells
Beep
♪— — Music Tone + 2 Options 2. Throttle Setting
Beeps
♪— — — Music Tone + 3 Options 3. Brake Setting /Throttle type
Beeps (for Heli)
♪— — — — Music Tone + 4 Options 4. Direction and Cutoff Type
Beeps
♪— — — — — Music Tone + 5 Options 5. Timing Mode
Beeps
Step 1. Starting, Enter Sub-optins. When you hear the sequence for the parameter you wish to
program, move the throttle stick to the Center Position to Enter Sub-options.
The controller will then start beeping a Morse code sequence of short and long beeps
representing the possible options you may choose for the selected parameter. See table 2 for
a list of all programmable options. Each option sequence is repeated 3 times.
Step 2. Select and save, the select the option, move the throttle stick back to the Full-up-
position., When you hear the sequence for the option you wish to select. The controller
will then save the selected option, and sound a long beep as a confirmation. It then goes
back to the beginning of the programming sequence (phrases 2).
Step 3. Complete programming and save options. Setup all the parameters you need to change.
When complete, move the throttle stick to the Lowest (Down) Position. The controller
will save all options and re-initialize in normal running mode so you can start your motor.
The table below summarizes the various programming options for each parameter:
