Kevin,

Their Web site is:

Make sure the ESC is wired correctly to the battery and that the servo wires
are set for the proper radio type, or you will fry the radio and maybe the
ESC. I can't give you instructions, as different models of ESCs use different
color coding on the wires and different connections to the battery.

If the SET button is like the one on the model I have, you use the SET button
this way:

Turn on the transmitter with the ESC disconnected from the battery. Set the
stick to neutral (centered, usually).

With the battery disconnected from the ESC, plug the ESC into the receiver.

Plug the ESC into the battery. Within 2 seconds, press the SET button to store
the neutral (stop) position in the ESC. (On mine, a green LED starts to
flash.)

Push the stick forward to the maximum forward position. Press SET again to set
the maximum forward position. (On mine, the red LED starts to flash. If the
green continues to flash, the Servo Reverse switch needs to be switched on the
transmitter.)

Pull the stick back to maximum reverse. Press SET again to set the maximum
reverse position.

The ESC is now set up. Whenever you turn on power, you have a 2 second window
to do the above procedure again.
