While performing the below ESC Calibration steps using Betaflight, with the battery disconnected, I'm not hearing any beeps at step 5 or 7, when I connect an ESC to the FC.
What are possible causes for no beeps?
All motors start at same time while motor testing, although with shallow range with motor start at 1700+.
Do I need to reflash the ESCs (LittleBee 20A)? They were supposed to be pre-lashed with BLheli.
Any suggestions?
Parts; Naze 32 v6, Betaflight, Futaba radio, Frsky S-Bus, ZMR 250 v2.

ESC Calibration Steps:
1. disconnect all ESCs from the flight control board
2. props off, flight control board plugged into computer, configurator open, flight battery not connected
3. on the configuration tab, set minimum command to 1050 and save
4. go to motors tab, check motor test mode box at bottom, raise master slider to full
5. plug just one ESC into any of the motor outputs 1-4, wait a few seconds for ESC beeps to finish
6. uncheck motor test mode box - values should drop back down to 1050
7. wait a few seconds for beeps to finish, unplug ESC from control board
8. repeat steps 4-7 for the remaining ESCs
9. on the configuration tab, set minimum command back to 1000 and save.
p.s. one of the benefits of this change is that the receiver will be powered when plugged into USB, allowing you to check settings without using the flight battery as previously required
