The ESc comes preset and ready for use. If for some reason you should need to reset the ESc, use
the following instructions:
1. Turn on the transmitter and ESc. Press the setup button—both the RED and GREEN LEDs will
come on.
2. Pull the throttle trigger all the way back (full speed) and press the setup button once—only the
GREEN LED will come on.
3. Push the trigger full forward (brake/reverse) and push the setup button once—only the RED LED
will come on.
4. Let the throttle trigger return to the neutral (center) position and press the setup button once more
to save the program and exit setup mode—only the GREEN LED will be on.
IMPORTANT :
A: If the receiver does not receive a signal from the Transmitter, the ESc will not enter program mode.
B: While in program mode, the motor will not run.
c: If the setup button is not pressed for 20 seconds while in program mode the ESc will exit the program mode, and the data will be saved.

LOSI MINI-ROCK CRAWLER • INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Re-binding the Transmitter to the Receiver
™
®
The Losi
DSM
radio system included in the Mini-Rock crawler operates on 2.4GHz and provides 79 different channels, which are automatically selected
when the transmitter and vehicle are turned on. The communication between the transmitter and receiver starts in the few seconds after the transmitter and
vehicle are both turned on. This is called the "binding process." The Losi DSM radio system will not interfere with previous technology radio systems that
operate on 27MHz or 75MHz frequencies and you will not receive any interference from them.
Although set at the factory, below are the steps required to re-bind your transmitter to the receiver should the need arise. During the bind process there is a
unique ID from the transmitter communicated to the receiver to ensure trouble free radio operation.
STEPS To RE-bINd
1.
Ensure that the transmitter and vehicle are both turned off.
2.
Using the supplied Bind plug (which looks like a standard receiver plug with a wire loop installed) insert or plug into the receiver slot labeled "BIND."
Looking down on the receiver, this slot would be below the LED and is the farthest from the LED, or nearest to the corner of the receiver. You do not
need to remove any of the other plugs to re-bind.
3.
With the Bind plug installed, turn on the vehicle. You will notice a blinking orange LED within the receiver.
4.
Now you are ready to turn on the transmitter. You should notice on the back of the transmitter a similar blinking orange LED under the translucent cover.
5.
Both the receiver and transmitter blinking orange LEDs will stop blinking and become solid, indicating they have "bound" themselves together.
6.
Please turn off both the vehicle and transmitter to remove the Bind plug from the receiver. Failing to remove the Bind plug will cause the transmitter to
attempt to rebind every time you turn on the vehicle and transmitter.
7.
Turn on both the vehicle and transmitter to ensure operation. If the transmitter does not control the vehicle, please repeat steps 1 to 6. Should this not
correct the problem, please call Horizon Service/Repair for further assistance.
8.
The Bind process is complete. Your vehicle's radio system should be ready for use.
