LF S° off (LIC) When a Li-Po is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge. The ESC protects the flight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff. Before the battery charge decreases too much, LYC removes power from motor in two ways: (1) Reduces power ESC reduces motor power (recommended), (2) Hard cutoff ESC instantly cuts motor power when the per-sei Low Collage Protection Threshold value is reached. These settings can be changed using the ESC programming guide. lane ding gear 1.

SHIMS Gel your el information . The ESC included with the Extra 300 has a safe start. if the motor battery is connected to the ESC and the throttle stick is not in the low throttle or off position, the motor will not start until the throttle stick is moved to the low throttle or off position. Once the throttle stick is moved to the low throttle or off position, the motor will emit a series of beeps. Several beeps with the same tune means the ESC has detect the cells of the battery.
