b) Programming the Special Functions
Attention!
Before you can operate the control unit and thus the vehicle itself, you must at least programme the
rechargeable battery type (NiMH or LiPo with 2 cells)!
The remaining settings do not need to be changed for the first drives. They are pre-programmed by the
manufacturer.
The speed controller unit offers many different programming options, e.g. adjustment of the braking strength, motor
brake function, low-voltage protection for LiPo rechargeable batteries and many others.
Proceed as follows:
• Switch on the transmitter. Leave the throttle lever in its neutral position.
• Switch on the speed controller.
The green LED is lit = reverse drive on
The yellow LED is lit = reverse drive off
Programming Rechargeable Battery Type
Attention!
The vehicle is only intended for 2-cell LiPo rechargeable batteries or 6-cell NiCd-/NiMH rechargeable
batteries. In this respect, see chapter 8. f).
Using battery packs with more cells will overload the drive (e.g. damage to the differential, etc.); loss of
warranty/guarantee!
The appropriate low voltage protection is activated during the initial programming of the battery type after the initial
commissioning of the speed controller. For NiCd/NiMH rechargeable batteries, the shutdown voltage is 4.5V, for LiPo
rechargeable batteries 6.0 V (2 cells).
• Press and hold the setup button until the red LED comes on. Only then release the setup button. The red LED
flashes; you are now in the setting mode for the rechargeable battery type.
• You can select the rechargeable battery type by briefly pressing the setup button. The flash rhythm of the red LED
changes.

• Hold down the setup button for at least 2 seconds; this saves the setting and the programming mode is exited.
Switch off the speed controller and switch it back on again after a few seconds; then the speed controller is ready to
be used with the new settings.
• If the setup button is not pressed for some 10 seconds, the programming mode is automatically exited without
saving the changes to the settings.
