Bluetooth Naming Rule
Bluetooth name format: "approximate model" + "-" + "ESC code ID". Example: "XC_E3-1C89" where XC_E3 is the approximate model and "1C-89" is the hexadecimal code ID of the ESC. If the Bluetooth name is changed by the user, the ESC code ID is still retained to avoid two devices with the same name.
Precautions
- Do not connect the ESC input wires DC+ and DC- in reverse; reverse connection may damage the ESC. If the ESC is damaged in this case, the relevant warranty service will not be provided.
- If a Hall sensor is used, check the motor phase wires and Hall wiring.
- For motors without temperature sensors, long-term high-power operation may cause burnout.
- Some motor mechanical structures cannot support high speed; forcing higher speed may damage the motor.
- If not used for more than 1 hour, unplug the ESC power wires.
- If any connection lines are modified, check the circuit carefully before use. Open the throttle slowly to confirm there are no errors before normal operation.
Startup Process
- Check whether the circuit is open, short circuit, or in poor contact.
- Check whether the motor is stuck.
- Plug in the power cable.
- Turn on the power button. When the battery prompt tone is heard (described in the Normal Startup prompt in the light/sound prompt section), startup is normal. If the throttle is normal, throttle operation can proceed normally.
Set the Throttle Range (Procedure)
- Keep the ESC off. Move the throttle to the end point of reversal. Power up the ESC and wait for the red and green lights to stop flashing (about 5 s).
- Move the throttle to the end point of forward within 1 s and hold it, then wait for the green light to stop flashing.
- Move the throttle to neutral position within 1 s and hold it, then wait for the red light to stop flashing.
- Success prompt repeats four times: red light and green light on + motor beep "so, mi, do" + red/green lights off + 0.2 s vacancy. Failure setting: no signs; ESC powers on.
Recover Factory Parameters
Restore Bluetooth to factory settings
- Connect ESC wire (the white wire) to BEC+ (red wire).
- Turn on the ESC.
- Disconnect from BEC when green light is off and red light is on.
- Remove the short circuiting.
When boot is activated, Bluetooth status restores to factory value (password restored to 1234 and the name restored to the factory state). Restart the ESC. If there is a hardware error, Boot can be activated in this way to upgrade hardware.
Restore parameters to factory settings
Use the Default button on the app parameter page.

Notes:
1) Red light matches long tone; green light matches short tone.
2) For saving power, all beeps last for 5 minutes; if faults recover, it takes effect again in the next 5 minutes.
3) Ellipsis "..." in light cue represents repetition of the previous action.
