Battery Installation And Esc Arming - Horizon Hobby E-Flite EFL089500 Instruction Manual

Battery Installation and ESC Arming

Battery Selection
We recommend the 4S 2200mAh 30C Smart LiPo Battery. Refer to the Optional
Parts List for other recommended batteries. If using a battery other than those
listed, the battery should be within the range of capacity, dimensions and weight of
the Spektrum Li-Po battery packs to fit in the fuselage. Be sure the model balances
at the recommended CG.
1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings. Power on
theTransmitter, then wait 5 seconds.
2. Carefully lift the back of the canopy hatch (A) to remove.
3. Slide the battery tray (B) out of the battery compartment.
4. For added security apply the loop side (soft side) of the optional hook and loop
tape (C) to the bottom of your battery and the hook side to the battery tray.
5. Install a fully charged battery (D) on the front edge of the battery tray as
shown and secure it using the hook and loop straps (E).
6. Align the battery tray with the tracks in the battery compartment and slide the
tray all the way forward until the tray locks.
7. Connect the battery to the ESC (the ESC is now armed).
8. Keep the aircraft immobile and away from wind or the system will
not initialize.
• The ESC will sound a series of tones (refer to step 6 of the binding
instructions for more information).
• An LED will light on the receiver.
If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep after the flight battery is
connected, recharge or replace the battery.
9. Reinstall the canopy hatch.
CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed,
the motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.
