General Information
Binding
The included transmitter and receiver are bound at the
factory. To rebind:
1. Power off the transmitter and ESC.
2. Insert the bind plug into the BIND port on the receiver.
3. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC, then power
on the ESC. The LED in the receiver flashes continuously,
indicating that the receiver is in bind mode.
4. With the throttle in neutral, power on the transmitter by
pressing the bind button. The LED in the receiver turns
solid and the ESC will beep and arm when binding is
complete. The ESC is ready for use.
5. Always remove the bind plug from the receiver after
binding is complete.
You must rebind when binding the receiver to a different
transmitter.
Throttle Range Calibration
1. Power on the transmitter and set the throttle TRIM dial
to the center position.
2. Install the batteries in the boat and connect the batteries
to the ESCs.
3. With the ESCs powered off, pull the throttle trigger to
full throttle and press the power buttons on both ESCs
Failsafe
In the unlikely event that the radio connection is lost during
use, the receiver will drive the servo and ESC to their pre-
programmed failsafe positions (normally no throttle and
straight steering).
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
Discharging a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell may damage
the battery.The included ESC protects the boat battery from
over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before the
battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power
supplied to the motor.
Power to the motors will be reduced significantly, showing
that the batteries have reached the minimum LVC
threshold. The ESC is programmed to allow enough battery
power to drive back to shore from a maximum of 100 yards
(45m), at no more than 1/4 throttle.
Electronic Speed Control (ESC) Programming
STEP 1: Enter Program Mode
1. Power on the transmitter and set the throttle to full.
2. Connect the battery pack to the ESC. After 2
seconds, the ESC will beep twice.
3. Wait 5 seconds and the ESC will emit a musical tone.
STEP 2: Select Programmable Item
The ESC will emit four groups of beeps in a loop.
Move the throttle to neutral within 3 seconds of the tone
matching the item you want to select.

simultaneously. The ESCs will beep twice. The green
light will flash with each beep.
4. Return the throttle to neutral. The ESCs will beep once
and the green light will flash once.
The calibration process is now complete. The ESCs will arm
with beeps and flashes to announce the number of battery
cells it has detected. Reverse calibration is unnecessary.
If the receiver is powered on before powering on the
transmitter, the receiver will enter this failsafe mode. When
the transmitter is powered on, normal control is resumed.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the boat after
use to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery
to about half capacity before storage. During storage, make
sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. LVC
does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during
storage.
NOTICE: Repeated operation to LVC will damage the
battery.
Tip: Monitor your boat battery's voltage before and after
boating by using a Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker (DYN4071,
sold separately).
STEP 3: Set Item Value
After selecting a programmable item, you will hear
several tones in a loop.
1. Move the throttle to full to select the value matching
the tone. The ESC will emit an alternating tone to
indicate selection.
2. Keep the throttle in full to return to Step 2 and
continue item selection. Move the throttle to the
neutral within 2 seconds to exit the Program Mode.
STEP 4: Exit Program Mode
1. In Step 3, after hearing the alternating tone, move the
throttle to neutral within 2 seconds.

2. Disconnect the battery pack from the ESC.
