Default RE: Brushless Electric setup

Well I looked through the 40-amo brushless ESC instructions. Its the E-Flight with dual BEC & advanced programming ESC (whatever that means?). I am using a 3-Cell Li-Po 2100mah battery pack. It tells me how to set voltage cutoff and then how to turn on Li-Po. What is the break though? At the end it says to turn the break on move the throttle back to the full position. To turn off the break move it to the off position. Is the voltage cutoff with moving the throttle basicly to see what "full-throttle" is for me when I have the controller to full? So when I set it I am good? Other then that what is the break again? Also, once I do this, do I need to do this each time I plug in the battery or do the settings save? Thanks so much for your help, im new to all of this. One more thing... it says to have the battery topped off when I try this, is this true? Also do Li-Po batteries have a "memory"? Can I start charging when they have only been discharged a little? Should I fully disscharge everytime before charging. Im so sorry about all the questions, im really new with this whole brushless lipo thing. Thanks again.
