5. Sigurnosne informacije

Adherence to safety guidelines is crucial for preventing damage to the ESC and ensuring user safety. Always observe the following:

• Ensure the firmware is V1.3 or above. Firmware updates can be performed via the Flipsky ESC Tool.
• Always disconnect power before making any connections or disconnections.
• Verify correct polarity for battery connections (BAT+ to positive, BAT- to negative). Incorrect polarity will cause severe damage.
• Operate the ESC within its specified voltage and current limits to prevent overheating and component failure.
• Ensure adequate cooling, especially when operating at high currents. The water cooling enclosure requires proper water circulation.
• Avoid short circuits on any terminals.
• Keep the ESC away from moisture, dust, and extreme temperatures.
• If any unusual behavior or smoke is observed, immediately disconnect power.
