Smart Throttle
Smart Throttle technology combines the throttle signal with
telemetry data from the ESC on one normal three wire servo
connector.
Smart Throttle ESCs can send current, voltage, ESC temp, and
mAh consumed. Smart Throttle telemetry data shows up on
your transmitter like any other telemetry sensor.
The ESC and receiver combination included with this aircraft
is Smart compatible. An update for your transmitter may be
required for Smart features.
(See www.spektrumrc.com to register and update your
transmitter.)
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
The ESC will continuously lower power to the motor until
complete shutdown when the battery reaches 9V under
load. This helps prevent over-discharge of the Li-Po battery.
Land immediately when the ESC activates LVC. Continuing to
fly after LVC can damage the battery, cause a crash or both.
Crash damage and batteries damaged due to over-discharge
are not covered under warranty.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
This product requires an approved Spektrum DSM2
®
Visit www.bindnfly.com for a complete list of approved transmitters.
It is possible to bind this model with a bind plug or using the invert to bind method.
General Binding Procedure
1. Refer the Transmitter Setup Table to correctly setup your
transmitter.
2. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position. Set all
trims to the center position.
3. Power off the transmitter RF and move all switches to
the 0 position. Move the throttle to the low/off position.
4. Insert the bind plug into the receiver BIND/PROG port.
5. Connect the flight battery to the ESC. The LED on the
receiver will flash when it enters bind mode.
6. Put the transmitter into bind mode.
7. Release the bind button/switch after 2–3 seconds. The heli-
copter is bound when the LED on the receiver turns solid.
8. Disconnect the flight battery and remove the bind plug.
If you encounter problems, obey binding instructions and refer to the troubleshooting guide for other instructions.
If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
CAUTION: When using a Futaba
