• 2 beeps) 2S LiPo Battery with only LED Voltage Warnings
• 3 beeps) 5cell NiMh Battery with Audible and LED Voltage Warnings
• 4 beeps) 5cell NiMh Battery with only LED Voltage Warnings
• 5 beeps) 2S LiFe Battery with Audible and LED Voltage Warnings
• 6 beeps) 2S LiFe Battery with only LED Voltage Warnings
B) Ignore the switch signal
• 7 beeps) Ignore Locator Alarm Switch Signal
Lipo Warning voltage: 6.7V (3.35V per cell)
Lipo Emergency voltage: 6.1V (3.05V per cell)
NiMh Warning voltage: 5.2V (1.04V per cell)
NiMh Emergency voltage: 4.8V (0.96V per cell)

To enter programming mode: Starting from a disconnected Battery state power-up
the switch and click once the ON-button and quickly once again and hold for at
least three seconds then release and listen to the musical tone that indicates program
mode entered.
Right away after the musical tone you will hear one beep then two beeps and so on un-
til 6 beeps. If you click the button once after hearing the number of beeps that matches
the programming setting you want it will select the type of battery and warnings as de-
scribed in the list above from 1 to 6 and conrmation beeps matching the one you se-
lected are played. Factory default is mode 1 beep for 2S Lipo with audible warnings.
After selecting your mode the unit will play SEVEN HIGH PITCH beeps to let you select
if you want to ignore the locator buzzer switch signal from the radio. If you click to se-
lect this then the locator alarm will not be active with the switch.
Once you selected both your battery type/warning mode and whether you want
the locator switch ignored or not you will hear another musical tone indicating
that the unit is out of the programming mode and into normal operation.
• Plug Battery
• Press button once and then immediately press again and hold for 3 seconds
• Wait for musical tones indicating programming mode starts
• Wait until number of beeps you want play and press button once to select
• Wait for the same number of beeps as conrmation
• Wait for 7 beeps and if you want to ignore the locator alarm switch press once
• If pressed after 7 beeps then wait for 7 conrmation beeps
• Wait for musical tones indicating programming mode exit
IMPORTANT NOTE: Programming can only be
started by plugging a battery not from Standby.
